Senior Manager, Financial Planning and Analysis (remote)

This is a remote position open to any qualified applicant in the United States.

Cognizant Technology's Corporate FP&A is seeking a candidate to support senior FP&A leadership in the analysis of business results benchmarked against budget and prior year during monthly and quarterly closes, managing and consolidating the monthly revenue forecasts, assisting with the facilitation of the annual budget process and ad hoc analyses as necessary.

The successful candidate will need to be highly collaborative working across functions (e.g., FP&A, Controller, Operations, Treasury, Tax) and deft at working up and down management hierarchy (e.g., from Analyst to COO) to articulate business driver variances for monthly deliverables. These monthly/quarterly deliverables typically include:

• CFO Deck: A PowerPoint deck summary of YTD actual results with commentary explaining changes in business results along with full year P&L forecast updates. The deck is a product of multiple inputs including business review conference calls and business results packages using templates developed and maintained by Corp FP&A.
• MBR Deck
• Revenue and Margin Forecast: Consolidate monthly revenue updates by the Operations teams, and provide summary commentary on changes since the last cycle.
• Revenue and Margin Budgeting: manage the budget process (e.g., time lines, templates, consolidations, communications). The successful candidate will also have experience with a global planning system for budget support
• 10-Q MD&A Support: Summarize quarterly global business revenues and profitability, accompanied with commentary on factors impacting both. In addition, summaries of expense drivers between sequential quarters, year-over-year quarters and YTD vs prior YTD are provided to the External Reporting team.

The role will be supported with a combination onshore/offshore team, but the individual must be comfortable accessing financial data from Cognizant databases independently for ad hoc requests requiring rapid responses. The successful candidate must be able to become comfortable as a reviewer and not just a consolidator of results, and as such, must gain expertise in our data structure and systems.

Salary and Other Compensation:

The annual salary for this position is between $103,000-$139,000, depending on experience and other qualifications of the successful candidate.

This position is also eligible for Cognizant's discretionary annual incentive program, based on performance and subject to the terms of Cognizant's applicable plans.

Benefits: Cognizant offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:

* Medical/Dental/Vision/Life Insurance

* Paid holidays plus Paid Time Off

* 401(k) plan and contributions

* Long-term/Short-term Disability

* Paid Parental Leave

* Employee Stock Purchase Plan
