Careers

Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

Location: Irvine, CA (100% On-Site)
Compensation: $110,000 – $165,000 plus discretionary bonus
Industry: Medical Device (Class II)

Savage Search Associates has been exclusively engaged to identify a Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) for a leading medical device company headquartered in Irvine, CA. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact finance role created following the retirement of a 25-year veteran. The position blends established responsibilities with new leadership opportunities and offers clear long-term growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High visibility – Reports directly to the Director of FP&A, with exposure to the CFO and company ownership.
• Growth into leadership – Initially a hands-on role, you will gradually take on management of 1–2 analysts once established.
• Stable yet innovative environment – Join a collaborative team with impressive tenure and a culture that values precision, teamwork, and long-term commitment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead annual budgeting, forecasting, and KPI analysis for multiple entities (domestic and international).
• Partner with leadership to build long-term financial models supporting company strategy and initiatives.
• Provide executive-level reporting and insights on income, expenses, and earnings.
• Oversee financial planning for global operations, including transfer pricing and FX considerations.
• Drive process improvements, automation, and reporting efficiency through tools such as Tableau and Power BI.
• Serve as a trusted partner to senior leadership, presenting financial insights and recommendations.
• Progressively assume management of direct reports and play a key role in developing team talent.
