Manager, Enterprise Performance FP&A (Corporate) — Legal Finance Business Partner Responsible for driving the corporate performance management rhythm (plan/forecast cadence, month-end performance insights, executive narratives, and decision support) while serving as a secondary finance partner to the Legal function. This role connects results to the underlying business drivers, challenges assumptions, and ensures leaders have a clear view of risks, opportunities, and required actions—turning analysis into decisions and follow-through.

Primary Responsibilities — Enterprise Performance FP&A (Corporate)

• Lead the monthly/quarterly performance cadence for Corporate functions, delivering variance insights and executive-ready narratives.
• Own budget/forecast inputs for assigned cost centers with clear assumptions, key drivers, and accountability.
• Build driver-based models and scenarios to support cost actions, resourcing, and prioritization decisions.
• Deliver concise performance packs focused on “top drivers” and clear “so what / now what” actions.
• Maintain KPI dashboards/scorecards and improve adoption, clarity, and decision usefulness over time.
• Partner across Finance to align management views, reporting views, and forecast rollups; continuously improve templates, cycle time, and data quality.

Secondary Responsibilities — Finance Business Partner to Legal

• Own the Legal OpEx planning & forecasting cadence (budget, rolling forecast, scenario outlooks) with driver-based assumptions (outside counsel, major matters, projects).
• Deliver monthly performance insights for Legal leadership: variance vs. plan, top drivers, risks/opportunities, and recommended actions.
• Partner with Legal Ops/leadership to improve spend visibility and predictability (accrual discipline, forward pipeline for matters and large initiatives).
• Build and maintain KPI dashboards/scorecards for Legal financial management (run-rate vs. budget, firm/matter concentration, practice group trends, approval pipeline).
• Lead deep-dive analyses on cost drivers/levers (outside counsel strategy, rate/fee trends, matter prioritization, cost containment) and translate into decision-ready options.
• Run the monthly Finance–Legal partnership review process (materials, finance facilitation, action tracking and follow-ups).
• Provide ad hoc decision support on high-impact spend topics (scenario/sensitivity modeling for next 3–6 months and full-year outlook).

Qualifications / Profile

• 5+ years in FP&A / corporate finance / business partnering with strong forecasting, variance analysis, and executive storytelling.
• Advanced modeling/analytics, strong judgment, and ability to influence without authority.
• Highly organized; effective across multiple stakeholders and timelines with a bias toward simplification and impact.
