Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

Position Overview The FP&A Manager is an important role in Homer City Redevelopment’s growing Finance team. This role will own budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis for a multi-GW combined cycle gas turbine power plant project, working with internal and external stakeholders. A core part of the role is serving as the FP&A owner for the project’s U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan, where accurate forecasting, disciplined reporting and compliance with DOE requirements are critical to the company’s success. It is a unique opportunity to work at an early-stage startup that will rapidly grow into an operator of a major power plant capable of generating billions of dollars of revenue.

You will provide the forward-looking financial insight that guides the company’s decisions as it moves through distinct stages in its lifecycle, from supporting a multi-billion dollar construction project through to operating a large power plant. You will establish FP&A as a trusted partner to Accounting, the other Finance teams, project leaders and the wider company.
