This role owns several of the core planning and reporting processes of the Marketplace F&S function - annual operating plans, long range plans, consolidated expense budgeting and forecasting, headcount planning, BU-level allocation processes, and our planning systems - and contributes the analysis behind our quarterly forecast, annual operating plan, and executive and board reporting.
You'll report to the Senior Director, Marketplace Finance & Strategy. This role is based at our Santa Ana, CA headquarters or our Jersey City office, with flexibility for a hybrid work schedule.

- Track business performance against budget via monthly forecast updates, and provide transparency to business leaders via reporting and live reviews
- Manage the annual operating plan (AOP) cycle and quarterly planning cycles across Marketplace business units (PowerPacks, Consignment, PSA Exchange, Lending, Vault) - templates, submissions, iteration with BU leaders, and consolidation into the plan
- Contribute to the quarterly consolidated forecast - own Marketplace GMV, revenue, and OpEx inputs, review consolidated output for accuracy, and draft the accompanying analysis
Executive & Board Reporting
- Prepare the analysis and draft narrative behind quarterly board materials, board books, and executive reporting packages
- Build clear, credible materials for an executive audience, with a bias toward over-communication when results diverge from plan
Who You Are:- 5-8 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, investing, or finance operations experience, ideally in a high-growth or multi-entity environment
- Experience partnering directly with function or business leaders on their budgets, and holding them to plan

Nice to Have:- Experience in a consumer goods or digital marketplace business with meaningful operational components (e.g., CPG, e-commerce), with working knowledge of marketplace unit economics
