The titular polynomial is defined recursively by p(n,x)=x*p(n-1,x)+n! for n>0, where p(0,x)=1; see the Example.  For an introduction to polynomial reduction, see A192232.  The discussion at A192232 Comments continues here:
...
Let R(p,q,s) denote the "reduction of polynomial p by q->s" as defined at A192232.  Suppose that q(x)=x^k for some k>0 and that s(x)=s(k,0)*x^(k-1)+s(k,1)*x^(k-2)+...+s(k,k-2)x+s(k,k-1).
...
First, we shall take p(x)=x^n, where n>=0; the results will be used to formulate R(p,q,s) for general p.  Represent R(x^n,q,s) by
...
R(x^n)=s(n,0)*x^(k-1)+s(n,1)*x^(k-2)+...+s(n,k-2)*x+s(n,k-1).
...
Then each of the sequences u(n)=s(n,h), for h=0,1,...,k-1, satisfies this linear recurrence relation:
...
u(n)=s(k,0)*u(n-1)+s(k,1)*u(n-2)+...+s(k,k-2)*u(n-k-1)+s(k,k-1)*u(n-k), with initial values tabulated here:
...
n: ..s(n,0)...s(n,1)..s(n,2).......s(n,k-2)..s(n,k-1)
0: ....0........0.......0..............0.......1
1: ....0........0.......0..............1.......0
...
k-2: ..0........1.......0..............0.......0
k-1: ..0........0.......0..............0.......0
k: ..s(k,0)...s(k,1)..s(k,2).......s(k,k-2)..s(k,k-1)
...
That completes the formulation for p(x)=x^n.  Turning to the general case, suppose that
...
p(n,x)=p(n,0)*x^n+p(n,1)*x^(n-1)+...+p(n,n-1)*x+p(n,n)
...
is a polynomial of degree n>=0.  Then the reduction denoted by (R(p(n,x) by x^k -> s(x)) is the polynomial of degree k-1 given by the matrix product P*S*X, where P=(p(n,0)...p(n,1).........p(n-k)...p(n,n-k+1); X has all 0's except for main diagonal (x^(k-1), x^(k-2)...x,1); and S has
...
row 1: ... s(n,0) ... s(n,1) ...... s(n,k-2) . s(n,k-1)
row 2: ... s(n-1,0) . s(n-1,1) .... s(n-1,k-2) s(n-1,k-1)
...
row n-k+1: s(k,0).... s(k,1) ...... s(k,k-2) ..s(k,k-1)
row n-k+2: p(n,n-k+1) p(n,n-k+2) .. p(n,n-1) ..p(n,n)

As a class of examples, suppose that (v(n)), for n>=0, is a sequence, that p(0,x)=1, and p(n,x)=v(n)+p(n-1,x) for n>0.  If q(x)=x^2 and s(x)=x+1, and we write the reduction R(p(n,x)) as u1(n)*x+u2(n), then the sequences u1 and u2 are convolutions with the Fibonacci sequence, viz., let F=(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,...)=A000045 and let G=(1,0,1,1,2,3,5,8...); then u1=G**v and u2=F**v, where ** denotes convolution.  Examples (with a few exceptions for initial terms):
...
If v(n)=n! then u1=A192744, u2=A192745.
If v(n)=n+1 then u1=A000071, u2=A001924.

If v(n)=2n+1 then u1=A001911, u2=A001891.
If v(n)=3n+1 then u1=A027961, u2=A023537.
If v(n)=3n+2 then u1=A192746, u2=A192747.
If v(n)=3n then u1=A154691, u2=A192748.
If v(n)=4n+1 then u1=A053311, u2=A192749.
If v(n)=4n+2 then u1=A192750, u2=A192751.
If v(n)=4n+3 then u1=A192752, u2=A192753.
If v(n)=4n then u1=A147728, u2=A023654.
If v(n)=5n+1 then u1=A192754, u2=A192755.
If v(n)=5n then u1=A166863, u2=A192756.
If v(n)=floor((n+1)tau) then u1=A192457, u2=A023611.
If v(n)=floor((n+2)/2) then u1=A052952, u2=A129696.
If v(n)=floor((n+3)/3) then u1=A004695, u2=A178982.
If v(n)=floor((n+4)/4) then u1=A080239, u2=A192758.
If v(n)=floor((n+5)/5) then u1=A124502, u2=A192759.
If v(n)=n+2 then u1=A001594, u2=A192760.
If v(n)=n+3 then u1=A022318, u2=A192761.
If v(n)=n+4 then u1=A022319, u2=A192762.
If v(n)=2^n then u1=A027934, u2=A008766.
If v(n)=3^n then u1=A106517, u2=A094688.
