Business Operations Budget Manager THE ROLE: We are seeking a Business Operations Budget Manager to support planning, execution, and ongoing management of budgets for the Global Operations organization. This role partners closely with functional leaders, program owners, and finance to manage intake and prioritization, set a predictable planning cadence, enforce spend controls, and provide decision support through clear reporting and actionable insights. THE PERSON: The ideal candidate delivers results in complex environments by creating clarity, alignment, and operational discipline across teams. The role equips leaders with clear narratives, decision‑ready insights, and scalable operating models that improve predictability and performance. This person will possess strong strategic thinking and structured problem solving skills; operation rigor: running cadences, standard work, and follow-through. Must have sound business judgment and data-driven decision support (financial acumen, controls, and risk management). Ability to influence without authority (stakeholder alignment and clear executive communication), and have an automation and continuous improvement mindset. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • Run the business cadence: annual/quarterly planning, monthly close/forecast, and recurring business reviews, drive agendas, decision logs, actions, and stakeholder accountability. • Own end-to-end budget management (primarily non-labor OPEX hardware and other spend, including D&A), including baseline, reforecasts, reallocations, approvals, and spend controls aligned to business priorities and the operating plan. • Lead forecasting, variance management, and performance readouts: surface risks/opportunities early, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate mitigation plans across owners. • Own key business metrics (KPIs) and build leader-ready dashboards and narratives that connect spend, headcount, and execution to outcomes; highlight decisions needed and next actions. • Build and improve planning processes that scale (intake, prioritization, planning templates, and automation) to reduce cycle time, improve data quality, and increase predictability. • Partner with functional teams and finance to align priorities, manage dependencies, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs; facilitate alignment across functions and leadership levels. • Maintain governance and compliance for business planning and financial processes: ensure adherence to policies, approval workflows, and documentation standards; support audit readiness as needed. • Own business administration mechanics (cost centers, accruals, transfers, purchasing/vendor workflows where applicable) and ensure clean ownership, and timely reconciliation. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: • Experience in Business Operations, FP&A/operational finance, program management, or similar roles, with ownership of planning cadences, budgets/forecasts, variance analysis, and executive reporting. • Strong PMO and business operations skills, including building operating rhythms, running business reviews, managing cross-functional dependencies, and driving execution to closure. • Advanced analytical and financial modeling skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear insights and recommendations. • Experience supporting cross-functional teams (e.g., product, engineering, GTM, operations) and partnering with leadership on business planning, performance management, and investment decisions. • Proficiency in business planning processes (headcount, portfolio/program planning, budget governance) and scaling them effectively. • Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience engaging senior leadership. • Technical proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, ERP systems (e.g., SAP), and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), including building dashboards, integrating data sources, and automating reporting workflows. • Experience with data validation, transformation, and analytics, with a mindset toward automation and continuous improvement. • Curiosity and willingness to leverage emerging analytics and AI tools to enhance financial processes and decision-making. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
