GLG's FP&A team is looking for a finance leader to partner with business unit leadership to accelerate growth of the segment and drive strategic initiatives. We are looking for an analytical and strategic thinker that thrives in a fast-pace, dynamic environment and defaults to action.

This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives at the intersection of financial rigor and commercial strategy. In this role, you will own the financial narrative for the business unit: tracking performance against targets, challenging assumptions, and equipping senior leaders with the analysis they need to grow the top line and protect margin.

 
Specific responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

  • Business Partnering: Serve as the primary finance contact for Business Unit Heads, Sales leadership, and Service teams. Provide real-time financial guidance.
  • Revenue Performance & Commercial Analysis: Own weekly and monthly revenue reporting for the business unit. Build and maintain dashboards that surface pipeline coverage, win rates, revenue per client, and other commercial KPIs that drive go-to-market decisions. Proactively identify and explain revenue and margin variances, and recommend corrective actions to keep the business on track against targets. Partner with Sales Operations and leverage Salesforce and Looker data to analyze pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and sales productivity — connecting leading indicators to revenue outcomes.

 

  • Performance Management – Develop deep understanding of the business and operations.  Track and analyze key business performance metrics to assess health of the business.  Prepare and continuously refine the monthly reporting of performance, revenue, cost, and P&Ls for different segments of the business.   

 

  • Budgeting and Forecasting – Manage mid- and long-range business plans, including the annual budget, quarterly forecasts, and monthly close processes.  Own the regular financial plan update process, including all financial drivers, KPIs, staffing plans, and investments needed to achieve these results.  Lead the business unit's annual budget and quarterly reforecast cycles, working directly with Business Unit leadership to translate commercial strategy into financial plans. Challenge bottom-up submissions with data-driven benchmarks.

 

  • Operating and Strategic – Assist with various operating and strategic initiatives.  Enable and coordinate business intelligence efforts, working alongside various teams across the company.
  • Presentations – Assist with producing regular performance management materials to update senior management and creating periodic board presentations regarding business and finance performance to be viewed by Senior Management and the Board of Directors. 

 

An ideal candidate will have the following:

  • BA/BS degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business, and advanced degree is preferred.
  • 7-10 years of prior experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or business partnering — preferably supporting a revenue-generating business unit within a professional services, consulting, staffing, or B2B services environment.
  • Advanced Excel financial modelling (dynamic forecasting models, scenario analysis, driver-based planning).
  • Strong PowerPoint and data storytelling skills for senior stakeholder audiences.
  • Experience with Salesforce (pipeline and bookings data), Looker or similar BI tools, and SQL or Python for data analysis.
  • Commercial Acumen: Genuine curiosity about how the business makes money. You should be as comfortable discussing sales strategy as you are building a forecast model.
  • Influence & Communication: Ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders — and the confidence to push back when the numbers don't support a proposed course of action.

Ownership Mentality: Proactive and self-directed, with a track record of identifying problems and driving solutions
