ABOUT TONGRUN INTERNATIONAL

Tongrun International is a Platinum Equity portfolio company and a precision sheet metal fabrication leader with manufacturing operations in Bonham, TX and Rowlett, TX. We are executing an ambitious multi-site growth strategy, building the leadership infrastructure, operational systems, and financial discipline required to scale with confidence. Backed by the resources and strategic expertise of Platinum Equity, Tongrun is positioned for meaningful expansion, and every senior leader we bring on plays a direct role in shaping that trajectory.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Senior Executive Director of FP&A is a senior finance executive and the primary strategic financial partner to the CFO, COO, and Platinum Equity. This role carries enterprise-wide accountability for financial planning, forecasting, management reporting, and analytical decision support across all Tongrun business units and locations. The Senior Executive Director of FP&A owns the financial operating model that leadership and the board depend on to allocate capital, manage risk, and drive profitable growth.

This is not a reporting role. The Senior Executive Director of FP&A is expected to proactively shape financial strategy, challenge assumptions, surface risk before it materializes, and build an FP&A function that serves as a true center of financial intelligence for the organization. The right candidate has operated at this level in a PE-backed manufacturing environment, understands how to communicate with ownership and lenders, and is energized by the opportunity to build something exceptional.
