Director, Finance Operations

____________________

Regal Rexnord is seeking a Director of Finance, PES Operations within the Power Efficiency Solutions (PES) Segment. This would be a remote role with frequent travel to the Juarez / Piedras Negras region of Mexico. This is a highly strategic role at the intersection of Finance and Operations. The Director serves as a strategic finance business partner to the VPs of Operations and plant leadership - helping shape how PES Operations continues to adapt to be a world-class organization - and leads the financial evaluation of the segment's most consequential operational decisions, including business-case preparation for SCOFR, make-versus-buy, and optimal production-location analysis.

The role is accountable for establishing and maintaining a world-class Operations finance organization: designing best-in-class processes, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the finance function through automation and modern LEAN and 80/20 principles, and actively driving productivity by adopting AI and other advanced tools. The Director also drives global consistency and integrity across Operations finance output - including standard cost rolls and intercompany pricing - all while maintaining a robust internal control environment.

This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, a continuous-improvement mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions and cultures in a bilingual (English/Spanish) environment. The position reports directly to the VP and CFO, PES, with a dotted-line relationship to the VPs of Operations for PES and North America.

PES is one of three operating segments with approximately $1.7 Billion in revenue and produces electric motors, variable speed controls, and air moving solutions which are sold in the residential heating and ventilating, water heating, commercial refrigeration, pump, leisure water, and other OEM and aftermarket products. Brands include Genteq motors, as well as Fasco, Elco, DEC Star, Leeson, motor and blowers.

Strategic Business Partnership with Operations Leadership

• Serve as the strategic finance business partner to the VPs of Operations and plant leadership, helping shape how PES Operations continues to adapt to be a world-class organization.
• Embed finance early in the segment's most consequential operational decisions - footprint, capacity, sourcing, make-versus-buy, optimal production location, and tariff response - ensuring they are economically sound, risk-aware, and scalable.
• Lead business-case preparation and financial evaluation for SCOFR, make-versus-buy, and optimal production-location analysis, from options framing through post-decision value tracking.
• Provide forward-looking analysis, scenario planning, and early-warning indicators to Operations leadership, elevating finance from scorekeeper to co-owner of operational performance.

Build & Lead a World-Class Operations Finance Organization

• Establish and maintain a world-class Operations finance organization with best-in-class, standardized processes, clear ownership, governance, and version control across the plant network.
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the finance function through automation and modern LEAN and 80/20 principles, eliminating low-value work and reliance on site-specific workarounds.
• Champion AI and other productivity tools - identifying high-impact use cases across close, forecasting, and productivity/variance analysis - and drive pilots through to adoption, not just proof-of-concept.
• Attract, develop, coach, and mentor finance talent; build change capability and reusable playbooks that scale beyond a single initiative.

Global Consistency & Integrity in Operations Finance Output

• Drive global consistency and integrity across Operations finance output, including standard cost rolls and intercompany / transfer pricing.
• Own a consistent methodology for product costing and manage the year-end standard cost roll-up of new standards.
• Establish consistent definitions, KPIs, and a single source of operational truth so results are comparable, transparent, and actionable across sites.

Planning, Performance & Value Realization

• Lead the development of annual operating budgets and periodic forecasts with a high level of accuracy and clear explanation of assumptions and bridge items from comparison periods.
• Deploy a standard plant performance framework - forecast accuracy and demand/supply alignment, inventory optimization (levels, turns, E&O), and productivity, absorption, and overhead.
• Prepare and analyze monthly results and KPI reporting, delivering insight on variance drivers against prior year, forecast, and budget that drives action to improve business results.
• Drive cost control and cost-out, and operate a closed-loop value-realization process that distinguishes planned vs. realized savings and timing differences vs. true misses - embedding savings in the AOP, forecasts, and run-rate results.

Controls, Compliance & Risk Management

• Maintain a robust internal control environment, ensuring compliance with US GAAP, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and Corporate policies and procedures.
• Conduct periodic control and process audits and support internal and external audits - identifying root causes and remediation plans and driving all findings to timely closure (minimize surprises).
• Ensure accurate and timely close, inventory accuracy, and E&O mitigation in partnership with production and supply chain.
• Proactively identify and quantify operational and external risks - tariff and trade changes, supply-chain disruption, and FX/commodity volatility - and develop financial scenarios and mitigation playbooks.

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; advanced degree (e.g., MBA) preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience in a global or industrial manufacturing environment.
• Deep expertise in operations / plant finance, standard and product costing, and intercompany / transfer pricing.
• Demonstrated success establishing standardized, best-in-class finance processes and leading automation, digital, and AI-enabled transformation.
• Experience leading financial business cases for footprint, make-versus-buy, capacity, and sourcing decisions.
• Fluency in Spanish and English - written and verbal (required).
• Based in, or able to travel to Juarez or Piedras Negras, Mexico.
• Strong working knowledge of ERP systems and modern analytics tools
• Continuous-improvement mindset grounded in LEAN and Regal Rexnord's 80/20 principles.
• Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop finance talent and to influence senior operational leaders beyond one's direct responsibility.
• Strong command of internal controls, US GAAP, and SOX.
• Executive presence, with the ability to communicate complex financials clearly to senior leadership at all levels of the organization.
• Change agent with a high sense of urgency and personal drive to achieve excellence.
• Ability to travel up to 50% - regionally between Mexico operations and, as needed, domestically and globally.
• Legally authorized to work in Mexico or the United States.

• Accounting certification (e.g., CPA, ACA, ACMA, or Contador Publico / C.P.).
• Oracle experience
• Power BI experience
