Sentry is seeking a Director of Financial Planning & Analysis to build and own the core financial planning and operating rhythms for the company. You will lead company-wide forecasting and planning, management and Board reporting, headcount planning, and FP&A's partnership with Accounting during the close. This is a hands-on leadership role where many processes are being rebuilt—you'll design great FP&A processes rather than just operate inherited ones.
Key responsibilities include owning Sentry's company-wide forecasting, annual planning, and long-range planning processes; building a clear operating cadence around forecasts, budget-to-actual performance, and variance analysis; partnering with Accounting during monthly and quarterly closes; owning company-wide headcount planning and forecasting; leading the financial component of Board and executive reporting; serving as a trusted finance partner to leaders across the company; overseeing cost management including cloud and AI infrastructure; improving systems, models, reporting, and data infrastructure; and building strong cross-functional relationships.
You will report to the VP of Finance & Strategy and manage an FP&A Manager focused on company spend. The ideal candidate is a self-sufficient builder who enjoys taking ambiguous processes and creating structure around them, balances detail orientation with executive communication, believes FP&A is as much about business partnership as modeling, creates simple durable processes, has high standards for accuracy, and wants meaningful ownership in a fast-moving environment.
Required qualifications: 8+ years of progressive FP&A experience including leading planning/forecasting end-to-end; demonstrated experience designing or rebuilding FP&A/planning function elements; experience partnering with accounting/controller functions on close activities; proficiency with NetSuite, Looker (or comparable BI tool), and modern planning/EPM platforms (Adaptive Planning, Planful, Pigment, Vareto); advanced Excel/Google Sheets; and experience building and presenting executive-level materials. Prior people-management experience and MBA or CPA preferred but not required.
