- Identify, track, and prioritize business risks and opportunities enterprise-wide, and lead development of mitigation and action plans in partnership with department leaders.
- Partner with executive leadership to align financial goals with business objectives, providing analysis and recommendations that inform key business decisions.
- Establish and monitor key financial metrics, trends, and performance indicators across the organization, escalating issues and opportunities as needed.
- Lead the development of what-if and stress-test scenarios to support strategic planning and decision-making.
- Represent FP&A in cross-functional and executive forums, including budget reviews, program reviews, and leadership presentations.
- Other duties as assigned.

- Deep understanding of government contracting and various contract types (FFP, T&M, CPFF, etc.) and their financial and reporting implications.
- Extensive experience with ERP systems, Deltek Costpoint preferred.
