Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis
Pharmaceutical
Location: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Hybrid
ttg has been engaged by one of our largest pharmaceutical company clients to identify a Senior Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis for a highly visible and strategically important finance leadership role based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Our client is a global pharmaceutical organization operating in a complex and highly regulated industry, and this role will be instrumental in strengthening financial planning, forecasting accuracy, and decision support across key areas of the business.
This opportunity sits at the center of financial decision support for a complex pharmaceutical business and is far more than a traditional FP&A role. It is a key position for a finance professional who understands how to translate revenue into reality, specifically by managing the bridge from gross sales to net sales, and from accrual-based forecasting to cash visibility.
The successful candidate will play a critical role in helping leadership make informed, financially sound decisions by owning and strengthening the forecasting processes that matter most to the business. This includes deep involvement in Gross-to-Net (GTN) forecasting, cash flow forecasting, scenario modeling, business analytics, and executive-level financial support.
This role is especially important because it operates at the intersection of multiple high-value business functions, including FP&A, commercial finance, accounting, treasury, market access, and compliance. The person in this seat must be capable of understanding the moving parts behind pharmaceutical pricing, customer contracts, government-related programs, reserve assumptions, and timing of cash realization, while also communicating clearly with senior stakeholders across the organization.
The ideal profile is a hands-on finance leader with strong analytical depth, excellent judgment, and the ability to move comfortably between detail and strategy. This person will be expected to build confidence in the numbers, improve forecasting rigor, and provide leadership with actionable financial insights in an environment where precision, control, and business partnership are essential.
