Company: MOC Products
Reports To: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Location: Houston, TX; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; Denver, CO; or Remote.

The Opportunity

MOC Products is entering a transformative chapter. By combining a premier chemical manufacturer, regional go-to-market commercial teams, and national supply chain and service capabilities, we are creating a fully vertically integrated enterprise. This integration unlocks exceptional value for customers and positions the company for sustained growth. We are seeking an FP&A Leader to join the Finance Leadership team. In this "player-coach" role, you will build scaled FP&A, establishing the analytical rigor, forecasting models, and financial processes required to scale. You will act as the financial process owner that enables our regional operating units.

Key Responsibilities

- Business Planning & Budgeting: Lead the annual operating plan (AOP) and quarterly re-forecasting cycles. Harmonize disparate budgeting processes from legacy entities into a single, cohesive enterprise model.
- Cashflow & Treasury Management: Manage 13-week cashflow forecasting models and reconciliation processes to support treasury needs, working capital optimization, and debt covenant reporting for our PE sponsors.
- Capital Planning (CapEx): Model and evaluate ROI for capital investments, particularly as we integrate production capabilities in CA and VA to support vertical integration.
- ERP Implementation & Process Design: Support our upcoming ERP implementation. Design financial reporting hierarchies, standardize KPIs, and automate data flows to eliminate manual reporting.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Serve as the financial advisor to the three Regional teams (working closely with each region's GM, Sales Leader, and Financial Controller). Collaborate cross-functionally with the VP of Transformation and HR Director to align financial plans with organizational design and change management initiatives.
- Sales & Revenue Forecasting: Partner with Regional Sales Leaders across the Western, Central, and Eastern US to build dynamic, data-driven sales forecasts that account for national account expansion, pricing strategies, and product mix.

Candidate Success Profile

- What You Know (Technical Expertise):
- Deep understanding of manufacturing and distribution economics, including standard costing, inventory valuation, supply chain variances, and freight optimization.
- Advanced financial modeling capabilities (3-statement modeling, DCF, ROI analysis) and expertise in data visualization tools (PowerBI, Tableau, and Planful). Familiarity with the rigorous reporting rhythms, board deck preparations, and KPI tracking required in a Private Equity-backed environment.

• What You Can Do (Capabilities):
• Player-Coach Execution: You can comfortably present strategic insights to the Board of Directors in the morning and dive deep into Excel data validation in the afternoon.
• Translate Data to Action: You have a talent for translating complex financial data into actionable, easy-to-understand insights for non-financial leaders (GMs and Sales teams).
• Navigate Ambiguity: You thrive in the "messy middle" of post-merger integration, capable of extracting accurate insights from imperfect legacy systems while building the future state.

Required Experience:

- 5+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with at least 3 years in a scaled role within a $100M+ organization.
- Experience in the automotive aftermarket, chemical manufacturing, or industrial distribution sectors is preferred.
- M&A / Growth Experience: A proven track record of successfully integrating financial operations, reporting, and cultures of newly acquired companies or joint ventures. Demonstrated experience developing financial processes to support and optimize a major ERP system implementation or migration.
