About The Opportunity

You will partner with the Strategic Finance Director to drive lasting improvement in unit economics and capital deployment across the "Unit Operations" and "Development" teams.

The Impact You Will Make
  • Store Operations Performance Analysis: Track and optimize unit-level profitability. Analyze store labor efficiencies, waste reduction, kitchen throughput speeds, and supply chain fulfillment costs.
  • New Site Underwriting: Own and build the pro-forma business cases for prospective physical locations. Forecast granular store-level P&Ls, cash-on-cash yields, IRR, and payback periods. You will analyze how new locations impact existing location performance.
  • Investment Committee Prep: Help package and synthesize financial models into clean, executive-level "Go/No-Go" presentation decks for our Real Estate Investment Committee.
  • Post-Opening Audits: Track the actual financial performance of newly opened sites against your original underwriting, identifying variances to continuously improve our forecasting assumptions.
  • Capital Expenditure: Own CapEx forecasting.


What You Bring to the Table
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a highly quantitative field.
  • 3 to 5+ years of progressive experience in corporate finance, FP&A, or commercial finance within business units.
  • Data & Advanced Modeling: Elite financial modeling skills in Excel to build and maintain driver-based and dynamic models from scratch for ad-hoc analysis. Ability to navigate SQL, Looker, BigQuery, and other databases to efficiently gather data.
  • Problem Solving & Agility: Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills to translate financial data into action, alongside strong troubleshooting skills to diagnose data discrepancies and connect the dots operationally and financially.
  • Proactive Problem-Solver: You possess a keen eye for detail and a natural curiosity that drives you to continuously optimize the business.
  • Collaborator: The only way we win is together. You excel at building strong operational relationships and collaborating across departments to influence decision-makers.
  • Gritty & Agile: You thrive in dynamic environments, adeptly analyzing complex financial data to uncover insights. You can pivot without complete information and remain comfortable dealing with ambiguity.
  • Communicator: Your strong communication skills allow you to effectively reinforce our strategic and financial priorities across functions.
