What You'll Do

Lead Enterprise Financial Planning & Analysis

As the senior leader responsible for FP&A, you will drive the financial insights, planning processes, and strategic analysis that support executive and Board-level decision-making.

You will:

• Lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, long-range planning, and enterprise financial modeling activities.
• Partner with executive leaders across the business to translate strategy into measurable financial outcomes.
• Deliver timely and actionable analysis of performance versus plan, forecast, and prior-year results.
• Develop and monitor key performance indicators that provide visibility into business health and operational success.
• Continuously improve forecasting processes, reporting capabilities, and analytical tools.
• Build valuation and financial models supporting capital allocation, investment decisions, M&A opportunities, product profitability, and pricing strategies.
• Conduct scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and strategic modeling to support growth initiatives.
• Provide financial guidance regarding investments, cost management, market opportunities, and business performance.
• Monitor industry trends, competitor performance, and macroeconomic factors that may influence business outcomes.

Lead and Elevate Investor Relations

You will play a critical role in communicating XPEL's growth story to the investment community while supporting the CEO and CFO in external engagements.

You will:

• Develop earnings support materials, investor presentations, executive talking points, and Q&A preparation documents.
• Coordinate logistics and content for non-deal roadshows, investor conferences, and Investor Day events.
• Maintain investor-facing communications, fact sheets, presentation materials, and website content.

• Drive talent planning, succession development, and organizational capability building.
• Establish processes, policies, and best practices that enable scalable growth.
• Foster a culture where diverse perspectives are valued and every team member feels empowered to contribute.

You bring:

• Strong business and financial acumen.
• A bias toward action and results.
• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills.
• Deep analytical capabilities and intellectual curiosity.
• The ability to simplify complex financial information for diverse audiences.
