Director, Financial Planning & Analysis
Chicago, IL • Reports to CFO • PE-Backed Growth Platform

THE OPPORTUNITY
Marksman Titan Security Group is a Chicago-based, private equity-backed security services platform purpose-built to deliver national scale with boutique-level responsiveness. Through the strategic combination of best-in-class regional operators, we have established one of the most capable integrated security services companies in the country — providing uniformed guard staffing and technology-driven security solutions to a blue-chipclient base across commercial real estate, industrial, and institutional verticals.

We are at a pivotal point in our evolution. Having established a solid operational foundation post-integration, the CFO is now building out a best-in-class finance function capable of delivering the analytical horsepower, business partnership, and forward-looking insight that a PE-backed growth platform demands. The Director of FP&A is a newly created, high-impact role — the first dedicated FP&A leader in the company's history - and will be instrumental in defining what great finance looks like.

The right candidate will build, shape, and elevate — constructing the drivers-based planning infrastructure, analytical frameworks, and business partnership model from the ground up. For the right individual, this is a genuine opportunity to make a mark, grow with a platform that has significant M&A optionality, and operate as a trusted partner to C-suite leadership and private equity stakeholders.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Business Partnership

  • Serve as the strategic finance partner to operational leadership across both segments, translating financial data into guidance that helps business leaders understand the P&L consequences of their decisions.
  • Support pricing decisions, contract profitability analysis, new business underwriting, and cost optimization — providing the analytical infrastructure that enables growth with discipline.
  • Own the FP&A function end-to-end from day one, building the team, structure, and operating rhythm that scales with the platform.

Planning & Forecasting

  • Design and own the annual budget and quarterly reforecast processes — replacing legacy static models with a drivers-based framework that connects operational KPIs to financial outcomes across Services and Technology Systems.
  • Build models that translate operational activity — billed and paid hours, billing and pay rate trends,contract wins/losses — into dynamic revenue, margin, and cash flow projections.
  • Establish a rolling forecast capability that gives leadership real-time visibility into variance drivers with enough granularity to act, not just observe.

Reporting, Consolidation & Business Intelligence

  • Own the monthly and quarterly management reporting suite — board packages, PE sponsor materials, and operating reviews — transforming historical results into forward-looking, decision-oriented insights.
  • Lead financial consolidation across the platform's operating entities, building the infrastructure to produce clean, integrated reporting from the job to the enterprise level.
  • Close the gap between financial reporting and operational data, partnering with the Controller to deliver timely, actionable insight at the branch and contract level.

Cash Flow, Liquidity & Working Capital

  • Own the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast and longer-term liquidity planning, giving the CFO and PE sponsor clear visibility into cash position and forward risk.
  • Support covenant compliance forecasting and lender reporting, flagging early-warning indicators before they become issues.
  • Serve as a key analytical resource for debt management and capital structure decisions as the platform grows through acquisition. 

M&A & Strategic Finance

  • Support acquisition underwriting and post-close integration, including financial due diligence, synergy modeling, and integration planning.
  • Contribute to long-range planning and strategic initiatives alongside the CFO and PE sponsor — KPI development, investor reporting, and capital allocation.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are targeting exceptional finance talent — people who have trained at world-class institutions and are ready to bring those skills into a high-ownership operating environment.

Experience & Background

  • 8–14 years of progressive finance experience, with meaningful exposure to large-company or institutional environments where you learned what best-in-class looks like.
  • Breadth across multiple disciplines: FP&A, corporate finance, business unit finance, or strategic finance. Investment banking and private equity backgrounds are strongly welcomed — particularly candidates ready to step out of the advisory seat and into the building.
  • Experience in labor-intensive, multi-site service businesses is a strong plus — staffing, facilities, security, logistics, or healthcare services are highly relevant.
  • Genuine comfort in PE-backed, performance-oriented cultures — either from prior experience or a clear appetite for it.

Technical & Analytical Capabilities

  • Deep fluency in drivers-based financial modeling — you think in operating metrics first and translate them into financial outcomes, not the other way around.
  • Ability to architect a budget and forecast process from the ground up: right KPIs, right data infrastructure, right governance and cadence.
  • Strong Excel modeling skills; experience with BI tools (Sigma, Power BI, Tableau) and ERP systems is a plus.
  • Comfort building with imperfect inputs while simultaneously improving the underlying data foundation.

Leadership & Presence

  • Exceptional communicator — board-ready written commentary, sharp verbal presentation, and the confidence to hold your own with PE sponsors and executive leadership.
  • Business partnership instincts: you view finance as a service to the business and are energized by helping operators make better decisions.
  • A builder's mentality and high ownership orientation — you want to create infrastructure and leave a mark, not maintain what already exists.

WHY THIS ROLE

  • High ownership from day one. You will own the FP&A function with direct access to the CFO, CEO, and PE sponsor — your work will directly shape strategic and capital allocation decisions.
  • A platform with real growth momentum. Marksman Titan has national scale, a strong client base, and a clear M&A roadmap. The person who builds the finance infrastructure today is well-positioned to grow into broader CFO-track leadership as the platform expands.
  • A CFO who has done this before. You will work closely with a CFO who brings deep experience across PE-backed, multi-site service businesses — someone invested in your development and capable of creating genuine career leverage.
  • Competitive compensation. Base salary $175k-200K based on experience, meaningful performance- based bonus, and the ability to participate in platform value creation.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
