Ares Management is seeking a Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis (“FP&A”) to serve as the senior FP&A leader for our European office, with responsibility spanning both the Credit and Real Assets segments.
This role represents a unique opportunity to help shape the next phase of FP&A within a rapidly growing global alternative asset manager. The individual will have significant visibility with European and global leadership and play a key role in improving decision support, profitability insights, and financial transparency across the business.
The VP will be a strategic finance partner to European business unit leadership, driving the annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and long-range planning processes, while delivering executive-ready reporting, analysis, and insights across both segments. The candidate will be expected to understand complex fund structures, management fee and incentive fee mechanics, expense allocations, and segment-level profitability drivers specific to Credit and Real Assets.
This role requires a dynamic, hands-on finance professional capable of operating independently in a fast-paced, growing environment, while building strong working relationships with senior investment professionals, business operations leaders, and global FP&A colleagues in Los Angeles and other regional offices.
