Director, Financial Planning and Analysis

At Emburse, you’ll not just imagine the future – you’ll build it. As a leader in travel and expense solutions, we are creating a future where technology drives business value and inspires extraordinary results. Our AI-powered platform helps organizations modernize financial operations, increase visibility, and optimize spend across the enterprise.

We are seeking a Director, Financial Planning and Analysis to lead and serve as the senior finance business partner to our Go-to-Market and functional leadership teams.

The Director will own the full B/U FP&A function, including Revenue forecasting, expense management across commercial and operational functions, and the planning and forecasting process for the business units. They will lead a team and be expected to elevate both the analytical output and the business partnering capability of the team in supporting Emburse’s growth.

The ideal candidate is a mature finance leader who has supported a full P&L, with demonstrated depth across GTM and SaaS revenue drivers, including ARR, bookings, pipeline analytics, and customer economics, as well as the commercial expense structures underpinning the SaaS business model.

Please note this is a hybrid role (3 days a week in our Addison, TX office) and we are NOT able to offer sponsorship now or in the future.

• Ensure the integrity and analytical depth of financial metrics, working across CRM and billing systems to produce reliable, decision-grade data.
• Lead and support transformation initiatives such as creation or enhancement of operating KPIs, automation through AI enablement and adoption, and standardization of reporting cadences.
• Establish consistent analytical standards, modeling hygiene, and communication norms across the B/U FP&A function.
• Coach and develop a team of four FP&A professionals to build a capable, insight-driven finance function.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelors Degree within Finance (MBA Preferred) OR proven equivalent work history.
