What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis position at ExplorUS?
Overview
ExplorUS is a family-owned company with nearly 30 years of experience operating National, State, and local park concessions. Over the years we have worked to enhance, elevate, and complement the visitor’s experience at each park, landmark, and property we operate. We’re seeking a dynamic Manager of FP&A to deliver accurate, data-driven insights on company performance, support informed decision-making, and drive analysis for new business integration. This role offers exciting growth opportunities within our fast-growing organization. Reporting to the Director of Finance, this position will be based at our Overland Park, KS corporate office.
At ExplorUS, we focus on finding small to medium-sized park operations where we can make a large difference. We take great pride in acquiring underperforming park concessions, turning them around, and bringing them up to and beyond the expectations of our park partners and park visitors.
Our success in this industry is tied to the simple belief that we do not consider park concessions to be just another business. We are stewards of the natural, historic, and cultural resources of the parks in which we work and are committed to providing a level of hospitality that honors those resources.
