About the role

The Program Finance Lead will serve as the primary financial partner to the Mission Solutions organization, supporting both individual program execution and portfolio-level financial management. 

This role will partner directly with Program Managers to establish credible program baselines, monitor performance against those baselines, maintain forecasts, identify variances, and provide the financial information necessary for effective program decisions. At the Mission Solutions portfolio level, the Program Finance Lead will consolidate program-level information into accurate revenue, margin, staffing, and financial forecasts for Mission Solutions leadership. 

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who can operate in the details of individual programs while also developing the processes, reporting, and financial discipline needed to support a rapidly growing business unit. 

As Mission Solutions grows, this role has the potential to evolve into broader leadership of the program finance function. 

Integer operates in Unanet, and this role will be expected to use the system extensively for program financial management, reporting, and forecasting. Prior Unanet experience is strongly preferred; however, candidates with substantial experience in comparable project accounting, ERP, or program finance systems will be considered if they demonstrate the ability to quickly develop proficiency in Unanet.

What Success Looks Like 

The Program Finance Lead gives Program Managers and Mission Solutions leadership a reliable understanding of both current program performance and expected future financial outcomes. 

At the program level, baselines are clear, forecasts are credible, and meaningful variances are identified early enough for Program Managers to act. 

At the portfolio level, Mission Solutions leadership has a consistent and defensible view of revenue, margin, staffing demand, risks, and opportunities across the business. 

The Program Manager remains accountable for program execution and program decisions. The Program Finance Lead provides the financial structure, controls, analysis, and insight necessary to support those decisions. 

Over time, success in this role should also create the foundation for a scalable Mission Solutions program-finance organization as the portfolio grows.
