Director of Strategic Planning

Job Title: Director of Strategic Planning | Utilities, oil & gas, infrastructure, or construction. 
Location: St. Louis, MO | $200k 

Reports to: Chief Financial Officer (CFO) 

We’re partnering with a high-growth infrastructure company in the Greater St. Louis, MO area, seeking a Director of Strategic Planning. This hybrid role offers a rare mix of autonomy, impact, and mission-driven work. You’ll be the strategic right-hand to the CFO, leading cross-functional planning and shaping the company’s long-term roadmap as it rapidly expands across 11 states.

This is a unique opportunity for someone energized by complexity and growth. The company is scaling quickly—over 1000% in recent years—and is backed by private equity with ambitious profitability and operational targets. You’ll navigate evolving regulatory frameworks, support FP&A with forecasting and scenario planning, and serve as a strategic thought partner to the executive team. This role demands someone who is not only analytically sharp but can thrive amid ambiguity, make sound judgments, and ask the right questions before the investors do.

Located in the Greater St. Louis area, the role offers hybrid flexibility and the chance to live in a city with a low cost of living, strong community feel, and excellent amenities. For those open to relocating, it’s a place where your dollar goes further, and the pace of life lets you enjoy your success.

As the company grows, so will you. This position is a prime stepping stone to broader leadership roles within finance, corporate strategy, or operations. You’ll gain visibility across the C-suite and play a key role in organizational planning.

The compensation range is $200k to $220k, depending on experience, and includes robust benefits, generous PTO, and a workplace culture that values initiative over titles. With a “work hard, play hard” mindset, the team celebrates wins, encourages unlimited PTO, and supports a healthy work-life balance. Leadership trusts its people and gives them the tools—and freedom—they need to succeed.

You’ll work with a lean, driven team—40+ in accounting with 2–3 direct reports in financial planning, and collaborate with onsite senior leadership, as well as remote operations and maintenance teams. Experience in utilities, infrastructure, or construction finance is highly desirable, especially if you've worked in regulated environments or supported capital-intensive projects. Strong financial modeling, ERP familiarity (NetSuite is a plus), and sharp communication with stakeholders—including investors—are essential.

You won’t find a lot of hierarchy or red tape here. The team values people who can operate independently, self-motivate, and influence without needing to manage directly. If you want to be at the center of a company that’s building something meaningful while navigating the real-world tension between growth, compliance, and sustainability, this is the role for you.
