**Job Summary**

The Finance Business Partner I (FBP) empowers financially sound planning

and decision making throughout the organization. This role works with

departments, sub-divisions, and less complex divisions within the

organization by spreading financial acumen; telling compelling,

data-driven stories to spur action; bridging the knowledge gap between

finance and operations; and assisting in the creation of financial

planning and analysis\'s (FP&A\'s) decision support tools. As an FBP,

you will take a more technology-guided and teaching-focused approach to

business partnering, enabling decision makers to make sound financial

decisions more independently. You will do this by training nonexecutive

decision makers on how to use FP&A\'s decision support tools and by

simplifying FP&A analysis into easily digestible business logic.
