[Hiring] Director of Financial Planning and Analysis @CompTIA Human Resources

Role Description

CompTIA is seeking a highly analytical, hands-on Director of Financial Planning & Analysis to help lead the company’s financial planning, forecasting, performance management, and business analytics capabilities.

Reporting to the VP of Financial Planning and Analysis, the Director will play a critical role in translating financial and operating performance into actionable insights for business leaders.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical FP&A capabilities with strong business acumen and an operating mindset. This is not simply a reporting role. The Director will be expected to understand why performance is ahead or behind plan, identify risks and opportunities early, and work directly with business leaders to translate insights into action.

The position operates in a fast-paced, private equity-backed environment requiring intellectual curiosity, strong financial discipline, attention to detail, and the ability to move comfortably between detailed financial analysis and executive-level communication.

• Advanced Excel capabilities and experience working with financial planning, ERP and business intelligence platforms.
• Strong data orientation with the ability to work across large and sometimes imperfect data sets.
• Experience improving or automating FP&A processes and reporting environments.
• Hands-on approach and accountable execution, with ownership of problem-solving, accuracy, deadlines and outcomes and a focus on timely, actionable insights.
• Commercial insight and curiosity to connect financial analysis to operating decisions, investigate underlying drivers and identify next steps.
• Strong communication skills and a constructive approach to challenging assumptions, simplifying complex financial information for executives and non-financial audiences while maintaining strong working relationships.
• Adaptability to work effectively as processes, systems and expectations evolve.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business or a related discipline required.

• Experience in a private equity-backed or similarly performance-oriented environment strongly preferred.
