THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Business Operations Budget Manager to support planning, execution, and ongoing management of budgets for the Global Operations organization. This role partners closely with functional leaders, program owners, and finance to manage intake and prioritization, set a predictable planning cadence, enforce spend controls, and provide decision support through clear reporting and actionable insights.

The ideal candidate delivers results in complex environments by creating clarity, alignment, and operational discipline across teams.  The role equips leaders with clear narratives, decision‑ready insights, and scalable operating models that improve predictability and performance. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Run the business cadence: annual/quarterly planning, monthly close/forecast, and recurring business reviews, drive agendas, decision logs, actions, and stakeholder accountability.
• Own end-to-end budget management (primarily non-labor OPEX hardware and other spend, including D&A), including baseline, reforecasts, reallocations, approvals, and spend controls aligned to business priorities and the operating plan.
• Lead forecasting, variance management, and performance readouts: surface risks/opportunities early, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate mitigation plans across owners.
• Own key business metrics (KPIs) and build leader-ready dashboards and narratives that connect spend, headcount, and execution to outcomes; highlight decisions needed and next actions.
• Build and improve planning processes that scale (intake, prioritization, planning templates, and automation) to reduce cycle time, improve data quality, and increase predictability.
• Partner with functional teams and finance to align priorities, manage dependencies, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs; facilitate alignment across functions and leadership levels.
• Maintain governance and compliance for business planning and financial processes: ensure adherence to policies, approval workflows, and documentation standards; support audit readiness as needed.
• Own business administration mechanics (cost centers, accruals, transfers, purchasing/vendor workflows where applicable) and ensure clean ownership, and timely reconciliation.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Demonstrated experience in Business Operations, business management, FP&A/operational finance, program management, or a related role running planning cadences and cross-functional execution.
• Demonstrated ownership of budgets/forecasts, including variance analysis and executive-level reporting.
• Strong PMO skills, including building operating rhythms, running business reviews, managing dependencies, and driving execution and closure across stakeholders.
• Advanced analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear recommendations.
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and experience presenting to senior leaders.
• Proficient computer skills, including MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and an ERP system (SAP preferred).
• Experience supporting a cross-functional organization (e.g., product, engineering, go-to-market, or operations) and partnering with leaders on business planning and performance management.
• Experience with business planning motions (headcount planning, portfolio/program planning, and budget governance) and the mechanisms required to run them at scale.
• Experience building financial reports, dashboards, and KPIs using Business Intelligence (BI) platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
• Experience integrating data from multiple sources and performing data validation, transformation, and analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to automate recurring financial analyses and reporting workflows.
• Curiosity and willingness to adopt emerging analytics and AI capabilities to improve financial processes and decision-making.
• Strategic thinking and structured problem solving
• Operational rigor: running cadences, standard work, and follow-through
• Business judgment and data-driven decision support (financial acumen, controls, and risk management)
• Influence without authority; stakeholder alignment and clear executive communication
• Continuous improvement and automation mindset

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).

LOCATION:

• Austin, TX
