Groundworks is the nation’s leading vertically integrated foundation services company, with more than 50 offices across the country and a portfolio of market-leading brands. We are building a best-in-class Field Finance team, and the Divisional Finance Manager (DFM) is at the center of it.
The FP&A Manager, Field Operations is the finance leader embedded with one of our operating divisions, serving as the primary financial partner to the Division Vice President and Regional Operations leadership. This is a true business partner role. You will own the division’s financial operating rhythm end to end, from the top of the sales funnel through revenue, gross margin, labor productivity, and working capital, and you will turn that picture into decisions that move the business.
This is a player-coach position. You will carry the analytical work yourself while building and developing a small team of analysts as the division scales. You will partner closely with Corporate FP&A, Accounting, and our Data and BI teams to advance a finance function that is shifting from manual reporting to driver-based, system-enabled decision support.
