POSITION SUMMARY:   The Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis serves as a key financial steward for the Tarkett North America Division, reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. This role connects financial data to operational decision-making — translating complex results into clear narratives that support profitable growth, operational discipline, and long-term value creation.

Beyond technical mastery of the planning cycle, this leader combines analytical rigor with business empathy and communication sophistication. They build trusted partnerships across the division — from plant controllers and commercial teams to the executive leadership table — influencing decisions through insight and credibility. This is a role for a finance professional who leads with curiosity, earns trust through transparency, and creates clarity in complexity.

Tarkett North America operates as a multi-segment flooring division within a global organization, with complexity spanning commercial, residential, and hospitality business units. The Senior Manager, FP&A supports the full financial planning lifecycle — from daily close intelligence to multi-year strategic modelling — across the division’s complete P&L.

This role manages key division-level financial processes and serves as an important analytical voice in the FP&A function’s agenda, ensuring that financial stewardship is proactive, insight-driven, and action-oriented.                                                                                                ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. Division Financial Stewardship & Reporting • Own the end-to-end monthly close reporting process for Tarkett North America — ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and actionable insight delivery to the Division CFO and Group (global) headquarters. • Lead consolidation of division-wide financials across sales P&Ls, plant operations, and SG&A using Magnitude, SAP, and BI tools; produce a single coherent story of division performance. • Develop and publish weekly, bi-weekly and monthly executive leadership review packages — presented in a way that drives decisions, not just awareness. • Translate complex financial variance bridges (vs. prior year, budget, and forecast) into clear business narratives for senior leadership and Group stakeholders.

2. Planning, Forecasting & Budgeting • Partner with the Division CFO to design and execute the annual operating plan, managing calendars, cross-functional coordination, and consolidation across sales, operations, and shared services. • Lead rolling forecast processes — building and continuously improving predictive models for revenue, margin, working capital, and full company P&L and cash flow performance. • Collaborate with Sales, SIOP, and Product Management on forecasting, work with Operations and plant controllers on operational volume and cost planning. • Develop and maintain scenario models supporting strategic decisions including pricing actions, product launches, capital allocation, and M&A analysis.

3. Business Partnership & Commercial Finance Support • Serve as a key analytical resource to the FP&A Director and Division CFO — proactively surfacing risks, opportunities, and key trends before they become problems. • Partner with stakeholders to understand commercial profitability by business center, channel, customer, and product; identify underperforming segments and recommend targeted actions. • Work alongside BU Finance leads to analyzing plant performance variances, operational efficiency opportunities, and capital effectiveness. • Provide financial guidance for new product launches, customer pricing proposals, and capital investment cases — translating data into recommendations that non-finance leaders can act on.

4. Analytics, Tools & Process Excellence • Design, build, and continuously enhance FP&A tools, dashboards, and performance tracking systems — including activity-based management frameworks and working capital analytics. • Drive adoption of a data-driven culture across the division by standardizing KPI frameworks, establishing consistent operational metrics across plants, and linking financial and operational reporting. • Lead process improvement initiatives in close cycle management, forecast accuracy, and management reporting quality in partnership with the CFO, shared services, and IT. • Leverage SAP, Magnitude, and business intelligence platforms to surface insights and reduce routine reporting burden, freeing the team for higher-value analysis.

5. Influence, Collaboration & Finance Culture • Operate as a high-impact individual contributor, leading FP&A across the division through influence rather than formal authority — building credibility through insight, consistency, and follow-through. • Act as a thought partner and sounding board to finance colleagues and business unit leaders — elevating the quality of financial thinking across the organization. • Contribute actively to a culture of financial rigor and continuous improvement within the FP&A function, modelling intellectual curiosity and high standards for analytical work. • Serve as an informal coach and resource to FP&A analysts and finance colleagues across the division — sharing best practices, elevating analytical standards, and contributing to team development without direct supervisory responsibility.

6. Ad-Hoc & Strategic Project Leadership • Take ownership of strategic finance projects assigned by the Division CFO
