SVP, Financial Planning & Analysis

Health Monitor Network (HMN), a portfolio company of Gridiron Capital, is seeking a Senior Vice President of Finance to serve as the CFO's principal strategic partner and the senior-most FP&A leader in the organization. This enterprise-level role is accountable for building and leading a best-in-class financial planning & analysis function, driving corporate development and M&A strategy, and translating financial insight into strategic decisions that shape HMN's growth, profitability, and value-creation trajectory under private equity ownership.

About the role

The SVP of Finance will operate as a true business partner to the CEO, CFO, and Executive Leadership Team — shaping strategy, challenging assumptions, and driving the financial narrative presented to the Board of Directors and Gridiron Capital. This individual will build and lead a high-performing FP&A team, elevate the company's planning and analytical infrastructure, and serve as a key architect of HMN's path to its next stage of growth, including evaluation and integration of acquisitions such as the recent D+R Lathian transaction.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the CFO's principal strategic partner and thought leader on enterprise financial strategy, long-range planning, and value-creation initiatives
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing FP&A organization, establishing the team, tools, processes, and talent needed to scale with the business
• Own the annual strategic plan, operating plan, and forecast processes end-to-end, driving cross-functional alignment with the CEO, CFO, and business unit leaders
• Act as a standing strategic advisor to the Executive Leadership Team, proactively surfacing insights, risks, and opportunities that shape business decisions rather than simply reporting results
• Own preparation of Board of Directors and Gridiron Capital materials, partnering directly with the CFO and CEO to shape the strategic narrative, key messages, and value-creation storyline
• Direct the enhancement of month-end financial management reporting, including variance analysis, trends, KPIs, and executive-ready commentary that drives action
• Lead corporate development activity, including sourcing, evaluating, financially modeling, and diligencing tuck-in acquisition targets, and driving post-close financial integration
• Partner with the CEO and CFO on capital allocation, pricing strategy, go-to-market economics, and resource prioritization across products, customers, and business units
• Analyze profitability by product, customer, and business unit, translating findings into specific, actionable recommendations for senior leadership
• Design, implement, and continuously elevate scalable, best-in-class planning, forecasting, and analytical capabilities, including systems, processes, and performance metrics
• Represent Finance in cross-functional strategic initiatives, influencing decisions across Sales, Marketing, Client Services, and Operations
• Build and mentor a team of FP&A professionals, establishing a bench of financial talent to support HMN's continued growth
• Ensure rigorous, PE-grade reporting discipline, including sponsor reporting requirements, covenant compliance, and value-creation plan tracking

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field required; MBA strongly preferred
• 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including significant time in FP&A leadership, financial strategy, or corporate development, with at least 5+ years in a senior leadership capacity
• Demonstrated experience as a strategic partner to a CEO, CFO, or Executive Leadership Team — not solely as a reporting or analytical function
• Direct experience operating within a private equity–backed environment required, including sponsor reporting, value-creation initiatives, and board-level engagement
• Prior experience in an advertising-supported business model strongly preferred; experience in media, pharmaceutical, or healthcare industries a plus
• Proven track record building, scaling, and leading FP&A teams, including hiring, developing, and retaining top financial talent
• Substantial experience preparing and presenting to Boards of Directors and private equity sponsors
• Hands-on experience evaluating, modeling, and integrating M&A or tuck-in acquisitions
• Executive presence and the credibility to influence and challenge senior leaders across the organization
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex financial concepts into clear, decision-ready insight for non-financial audiences
• High intellectual curiosity, sound business judgment, and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset

Direct Reports

This role is expected to lead and build out a growing FP&A team, with direct reports to be determined based on organizational design.
