- Lead and develop the team - build, mentor, and manage a team of FP&A analysts, raising the analytical bar and the standard of business partnership across the function.
- Partner cross-functionally - serve as the embedded finance partner to merchandising, store operations, marketing, and supply chain, supporting promotional planning, pricing, markdown strategy, and inventory/open-to-buy decisions.
- Generate insights and actions - distill complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable steps and recommendations that enable leaders across the business to make faster, better-informed decisions.
- Sharpen unit economics - analyze sales, margin, inventory productivity, comp-store trends, four-wall profitability, labor, and channel mix (in-store vs. e-commerce) to identify margin and efficiency opportunities.
- Build the financial model - develop and maintain the integrated operating model linking the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, including scenario and sensitivity analysis to stress-test growth assumptions.
- Manage liquidity and KPIs - support cash flow forecasting, working capital management, and the definition and tracking of company KPIs and dashboards.
- Modernize the FP&A toolset - lead selection and implementation of planning/BI tools, automate recurring reporting, and improve data integrity in partnership with the accounting and IT teams.
