Position Summary

The FP&A Manager will serve as a key strategic finance partner, working directly with the CFO, executive leadership team, and our private equity sponsor to drive financial planning, business performance, and strategic decision-making.

This is far more than a traditional budgeting role. The position offers visibility into mergers and acquisitions, Board reporting, capital raising, operational analytics, integration efforts, and executive decision-making. The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex business problems, building scalable financial processes, and wearing multiple hats in a rapidly growing organization.

This position offers significant career growth as the company continues its acquisition strategy and expands its finance organization.

Why Join Matador Gas & Power?

This is a rare opportunity to help build a high-growth energy platform and to shape its finance function as it scales. You won't be one more analyst in a large corporate structure, you will be part of a lean team and play an integral part in how decisions are made. In part, you will help determine how the company grows, with a direct line to the CFO, executive team, and our private equity sponsor.

What makes this role different:

• A seat at the table: Contribute to decisions on acquisitions, capital allocation, and growth strategy.

• M&A from the front row: Play a hands-on role in evaluating, financing, and integrating acquisitions. 

• Room to grow: As the platform scales, you will be positioned to take on greater responsibilities.

• Broad scope: Reach well beyond traditional FP&A into operations, strategy, and investor relations, building a versatile skill set that accelerates your career.

• Real impact: Work in an entrepreneurial culture where good ideas are heard, strong execution is rewarded, and your contributions are visible at the highest levels.

If you're looking for a role where you can develop new skillsets, accelerate your career, and build something alongside a company with ambitious expansion plans, we'd love to hear from you.
