Director of Finance, Planning & Analytics

You own FP&A and the close, and you also run the analytics team — two jobs that usually sit in different departments. Expect to build the budget and long-range plan, then turn around and defend department-level P&L variances in front of the people who own those budgets. The hard part is the breadth: month-end accuracy and GL review on one side, BI dashboards and KPI definitions on the other, with executives expecting both to tell the same story.

• Several years running FP&A — budgeting, forecasting, modeling, variance analysis — at a level where executives relied on your numbers
• Hands-on ownership of month-end close and financial statement preparation, with real command of GAAP and accrual accounting
• Has managed people, not just projects — this role leads the analytics team and sets its priorities
• Built dashboards and KPI frameworks in a BI tool and can defend the data definitions behind them
• Comfortable presenting results and hosting business reviews with department heads who will push back
• Able to be found suitable by the applicable gaming regulator

• Gaming or casino industry experience — enterprise FP&A depth matters more
• CPA, CMA, or MBA
• Experience with one specific BI platform; Power BI, Tableau, Looker or similar all count
• Public company or SEC reporting background
• A degree in finance specifically, if the track record is there
