Mobility Global is seeking a Director, Enterprise Forecasting & Strategic Modeling to join the FP&A organization. This role will own the company’s forecasting and strategic modeling capabilities, including the development, governance, and ongoing enhancement of the core financial models that support planning, forecasting, capital allocation, and executive decision-making.

This leader will play a central role in the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and strategic evaluations. The Director will serve as a senior finance partner to executive leadership, helping translate business strategy, operating performance, and investment choices into a clear and credible financial outlook.

This is a highly visible role with broad exposure to senior leadership, board-level materials, strategic initiatives, and investor-readiness support.

Responsibility and Impact:

• Own the company’s integrated financial modeling architecture, including the core three-statement model and supporting frameworks used for forecasting, planning, and strategic decision-making.

• Lead the enterprise forecasting process across short-term outlooks, quarterly reforecasts, and long-range planning, including governance, calendar management, assumption setting, cross-functional alignment, consolidation, and executive review.

• Direct the development of multi-year financial plans that reflect corporate strategy, market dynamics, investment priorities, and key business assumptions.

• Establish and maintain governance over forecast assumptions, model controls, documentation standards, and analytical outputs to ensure rigor, consistency, and scalability.

• Partner with business unit finance leaders, functional leaders, and corporate stakeholders to align revenue, expense, headcount, cash flow, and investment assumptions across the enterprise.

• Lead scenario, sensitivity, and risk analyses to support capital allocation, strategic initiatives, operating tradeoff decisions, and enterprise performance management.

• Oversee the preparation of executive and board-level reporting materials, ensuring financial insights are clear, decision-oriented, and tied to key performance drivers and business priorities.

• Support strategic finance initiatives, including M&A evaluations, new business opportunities, investment cases, and other high-priority analytical workstreams.

• Serve as a senior advisor to FP&A leadership and executive stakeholders on forecast risks, planning assumptions, and financial implications of strategic decisions.

• Drive continuous improvement in forecasting processes, financial tools, management reporting, and analytical capabilities, including opportunities for automation and increased scalability.

• Build and enhance standardized reporting outputs and planning templates to support monthly business reviews, forecast cycles, and leadership discussions.

• Partner closely with Accounting, Treasury, Strategy, Corporate Development, and other finance teams to ensure consistency between forecast outputs, actual results, external reporting needs, and strategic planning activities.

• Lead, coach, and develop team members and/or provide leadership across cross-functional planning processes, helping elevate forecasting discipline and modeling capability across the FP&A organization.

What Success Looks Like:

• Mobility Global has a scalable, well-governed forecasting and strategic modeling capability that supports enterprise decision-making and long-range planning.

• Executive leadership operates from a clear, credible, and consistent view of financial performance, key drivers, risks, and strategic scenarios.

• Forecasts become increasingly accurate, actionable, and aligned with business performance, capital priorities, and resource allocation decisions.

• Board, executive, and investor-readiness materials are more forward-looking, analytically rigorous, and connected to the company’s strategic objectives.

• The FP&A organization benefits from stronger modeling standards, more consistent planning processes, improved reporting capabilities, and elevated team effectiveness
