Senior Director, Finance & Strategy

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real content. Must remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must include content from posting. We need to parse the posting: sections: Position Summary (About Us), Position Overview, Role Objectives, Responsibilities (with sub-sections: Financial Planning & Analysis, Strategy & Optimization, Commercial & Product Thought Leadership, Leadership & Controls), What You Bring (maybe Qualifications?), Required, Preferred, Why Grover Gaming? (benefits?), Qualifications (EEO). Also there is "We are Grover Gaming!" and "Why Grover Gaming?" which includes bullet points: Competitive salary and benefits, Opportunities for advancement and growth, A culture built on innovation, integrity, and service. We need to decide which sections to include: About Us (maybe as "About the role"? Actually heading "About Us" is not one of the allowed headings list: they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "About Us" could be "About the role"? But they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. "About the role" is allowed. So we can put the Position Summary / About Us under

About the role

. Then Position Overview could be part of that or maybe separate? Could be included under same. Role Objectives could be its own heading? Not in list but maybe "Responsibilities" covers responsibilities. Role Objectives could be part of Responsibilities or maybe "Requirements"? But better to treat Role Objectives as part of Responsibilities? However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Role Objectives into Responsibilities. Responsibilities: we have detailed responsibilities broken into sub-sections. We can keep a

• list. What You Bring: could be "Qualifications" or "Skills". The posting has "What You Bring" which is like qualifications/skills. Then "Required:" and "Preferred:" are more specific qualifications. We could have a

  Qualifications

  containing required and preferred bullet lists. Benefits: from "Why Grover Gaming?" we have Competitive salary and benefits, Opportunities for advancement and growth, A culture built on innovation, integrity, and service. That's benefits. So we can have

  Benefits

  with list. Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Skills: maybe we could have a Skills section but we already have qualifications. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all bullet points from responsibilities, what you bring, required, preferred, benefits. Let's extract content. About Us / Position Summary: "Now part of Light & Wonder, Grover Gaming brings a legacy of innovation, integrity, and game design excellence to every aspect of our growing team. Known for award-winning gaming experiences and an energizing workplace culture, Grover has built a reputation as a top employer and a trusted name in charitable gaming. Together, we're expanding our reach and reshaping the future of the industry." Position Overview: "We are looking for a senior finance leader to serve as the right hand to the CFO and the financial center of gravity for the Grover Gaming business unit. This role owns financial planning and analysis end-to-end: the annual operating plan, quarterly forecasts, the long-range plan, month-end results, and the reporting that goes to executive leadership and the board. Just as important, this role partners directly with the CEO and the VP of Strategy to find, build, and implement the initiatives that expand margin and accelerate growth. You will also actively drive optimization initiatives across our markets, partnering with the Data Analytics and Strategy teams. The person we need is a Swiss Army knife. Technically sound enough to build the model, not just review it. Credible enough to hold the room in front of executives. Curious enough to have a real point of view on content and hardware roadmaps, game mix, analytics, and commercial strategy. Success in this role looks like being the first call when a decision has a number attached to it, and the person who makes sure that we make the right decision and that decision actually gets implemented." Role Objectives list: - Own the full planning cycle for the business unit: annual operating plan, quarterly forecasts, long range plan, and monthly close reporting and analytics. - Serve as trusted advisor and decision partner to the CEO, the VP of Strategy, and the broader leadership team. - Translate operating drivers (units in market, hold per-unit per-day, location performance, game mix, denomination trends) into financial outcomes and forward-looking guidance. - Build and lead optimization initiatives that improve margin, capital efficiency, and process throughput, from idea through implementation and measured result. - Bring financial rigor to content and hardware roadmap decisions, new market entry, and capital deployment. - Develop the finance and analytics team, raising both technical depth and the standard of business partnership, consistent metric definitions, trusted data, automated reporting, and faster time to insight. - Represent the business-unit results and outlook to corporate finance and executive leadership. Responsibilities: Financial Planning & Analysis: - Own the annual budget, quarterly forecast cycles, and the multi-year long range plan, including scenario construction and clear bridges and variance insights between plan versions. - Lead month-end close review and variance analysis (full P&L and capital expenditure), explaining results in driver terms (volume, rate, mix, timing) rather than account-level noise. - Build and maintain the financial models that connect unit deployment, hold per-unit per-day, revenue share economics, and cost structure to P&L and cash outcomes. - Deliver board-level and executive reporting: QBR materials, monthly business reviews, earnings support, and rapid-turn analysis for the CEO and CFO. - Own capital planning and ROI governance for gaming equipment, including deployment, swap, and refresh decisions, plus post-implementation review of actual returns. - Partner with corporate FP&A and accounting on consolidation, purchase accounting impacts, and reporting alignment. Strategy & Optimization: - Partner with the VP of Strategy and the CEO to build the pipeline of optimization initiatives, size each opportunity, and pressure-test the assumptions behind it. - Move initiatives from analysis to execution by defining owners, milestones, and measurable targets, then tracking realized value against the original business case. - Lead the financial evaluation of new market entry and jurisdiction expansion, including regulatory constraints, revenue share structures, and ramp assumptions. - Build business cases for pricing, contract terms, and distributor and charity partner economics. - Identify structural cost and process improvement opportunities across the business and drive them to completion. Commercial & Product Thought Leadership: - Bring the financial and analytical lens to content roadmap decisions: performance by theme, math model, and price point, return on investments, and the right mix by market. - Support hardware and cabinet strategy with lifecycle cost, deployment economics, and churn and replacement analysis. - Partner with sales and operations on location and route level performance, underperformance diagnostics, and corrective action plans. - Turn market, competitor, and regulatory data into commercial insight that shapes pricing, incentives, and market prioritization. Leadership & Controls: - Lead, coach, and develop the finance team, building technical capability and succession depth. - Maintain internal controls, policies, and approval frameworks appropriate to a public company environment. - Foster an environment of trust, accuracy, integrity, and candor while delivering actionable, high-quality results. - Set the standard for how finance shows up: proactive, articulate, and focused on decisions backed by data rather than reports. What You Bring: - A deep technical FP&A foundation. You can build the model, stress the assumptions, and defend the output line-by-line. - Leadership presence. You can present to group of executives, tell the story, hold a position under pressure, and tell executives what you actually think and back it up. - Rigorous standards on data quality, accuracy, and a relentless pursuit of constant process improvements. - A track record of driving initiatives to completion across functions you do not control. - Comfort with ambiguity and incomplete data, paired with strong root cause instincts. - Real curiosity about the product, the player, and the customer, not just the P&L. - Hands-on analytical horsepower. You go to the data yourself rather than waiting on a report. - Experience supporting product, content, or capital deployment roadmap decisions. - The ability to build trust quickly with a diverse set of stakeholders (operators, engineers, sales leaders, and executives). Required: - 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior-level FP&A leadership with direct reports. - Undergraduate degree in finance, accounting, economics, engineering, or similar. - MBA and/or CPA preferred. - Demonstrated ownership of a complete planning cycle (budget, forecast, long range plan) for a business unit or larger. - Advanced financial modeling and data analysis skills, with working knowledge of GAAP and public company reporting requirements. - Experience implementing AI automations to streamline processes and improve business decision making. - Proven ability to influence and partner cross-functionally at the executive level. Preferred: - Experience in gaming, lottery, charitable gaming, or another regulated, route-based, or recurring revenue business managing the full P&L. - Experience in a public company or private equity-backed environment, including post-acquisition integration. - Hands-on SQL, Tableau or Power BI, and large data set analysis. - Knowledge of ERP (Oracle) and enterprise planning tools. Why Grover Gaming? (Benefits): - Join a passionate team in one of the most exciting sectors of the gaming industry - Be part of a mission-driven organization that supports charitable causes - Competitive salary and benefits - Opportunities for advancement and growth - A culture built on innovation, integrity, and service We also have "We are Grover Gaming!" paragraph: "At Grover Gaming, we build entertainment experiences that excite and inspire. From innovative electronic games to mission-driven partnerships, our work powers charitable gaming across the country, helping nonprofits fund the causes that matter most. We believe in doing what you love and doing it with purpose. Our team of innovators, creators, and problem-solvers is shaping the future of charitable gaming. Together, we are building more than games, we are #playingitforward by building community, impact, and opportunity." This is substantive; could be included under About the role or maybe a separate "About the company". But allowed headings list includes About the role. We could incorporate that paragraph into About the role. We must not include EEO boilerplate. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

  About the role

  ... combine Position Summary, Position Overview, Role Objectives? Might be long. Could split: About the role includes Position Summary and Position Overview. Role Objectives could be under Responsibilities? But maybe better to have a separate

  Role objectives

  though not in allowed list but maybe okay? The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should limit number of sections. Could combine Role Objectives into Responsibilities. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. Under Responsibilities we can have subheadings? Not allowed to use h3 for subheadings? Could use

  but not specified. Could just have a

  with items that include the subheadings as bold text? But we need to preserve structure. Could use

  inside responsibilities for each subcategory. Not prohibited. The instruction only says use h3 for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings. But to be safe, we can use

  for sub-sections. Alternatively, we can keep responsibilities as a flat list with each item preceded by a bold label. But that loses some structure. I'll use

  for each responsibility category. Similarly
