Job Description

FP&A Director overseeing P&L accountability and financial analysis for Cobalt’s security business. Driving key operating decisions and contributing to M&A deals.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the go-to financial authority on percentage-of-completion accounting across the portfolio; build and maintain the bridge between POC-recognized revenue and cash, and partner with controllers and auditors on policy questions.
  • Build, stress test, and identify flaws in complex financial models; own full P&L and cash picture across multiple businesses simultaneously, including percentage of revenue analysis, margin management, cost structure, working capital, cash conversion, and ROI decisions.
  • Actively use AI tools as operating infrastructure to accelerate financial analysis, automate routine modeling, and surface insights at the pace of the business; build or direct the construction of AI-enabled workflows that scale with the portfolio.
  • Develop probabilistic and scenario-based forecasts using leading indicators and business driver logic; own KPI tracking, sensitivity analysis, pricing analytics, gross margin improvement tracking, and labor and subcontractor cost analysis.
  • Serve as the financial operating voice on every deal the team pursues; contribute a grounded operating perspective to investment committee discussions pre-close, build post-close budgets from scratch with new CEOs, and track diligence-to-reality variances in real time.
  • Produce analysis that moves the team toward a clear conclusion and follows through on implementation; bring the confidence and credibility to raise a constructive perspective when the numbers point in a different direction.
  • Translate complex financial dynamics into clear, concise insights for the Group President and operating leaders; communicate at the operator level, delivering the right information at the right time to drive action.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of progressive FP&A experience in a multi-entity or platform operating environment; field services, specialty contracting, or adjacent industries are strongly preferred.
  • Currently working in or intimately familiar with a POC-driven, project-based services environment; this is a hard requirement and non-negotiable.
  • Demonstrated experience owning multi-entity P&L accountability simultaneously across genuinely distinct businesses.
  • Proven M&A operating experience from inside an acquiring company, including pre-close financial diligence and post-close integration.
  • Expert-level financial modeling proficiency; fluency in probabilistic and scenario-based modeling, not just point estimates.
  • Active use of AI tools as day-to-day financial workflow infrastructure - must be able to provide specific current examples.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required; MBA or CPA a plus.
  • Ability to travel approximately 25% of the time.

Benefits:

  • Cobalt offers a comprehensive benefits package including healthcare, 401(k) match, and flexible time off.
