Jacobs has a fantastic opportunity for a motivated, financially and technically savvy leader to join our Americas business vertical as a Finance Manager. You will provide strategic insights and support to drive business performance and achieve financial objectives in one of the fast-growing operating units of our Americas Operating Units.

As a Finance Manager, you will be a finance partner to a Vice President within the one of Americas regions. You'll be responsible for ensuring the success of annual business planning, quarterly forecasting, along with timely and accurate weekly, monthly and quarterly financial reports and analysis, financial presentation preparation and ad-hoc analysis for your leadership team. You'll highlight business trends, develop KPI's and provide insights to help drive improvement in financial metrics. More than financial leadership, you will be a true strategic partner to your stakeholders.
