Thoughts on the job posting?

Does this read like an FP&A role? It is for a big global company with over $40B in sales but division is only about $4B. Thoughts on job growth prospects from this role? Note, I have an MBA, but no CPA. I have some good finance experience (not direct FP&A, but strategic decision making type finance roles e.g. NPV, IRR, ROI and LRF).
