About The Role

You will partner directly with the VP of Strategic Finance and Wonder NA CEO to drive the financial performance of the business while building scalable financial processes. In this high-visibility role, you will influence senior leaders to drive value creation.

You will create outsized value and impact as we scale our business to over 200 units prior to an IPO. You will be stretched to wear many hats beyond core finance. If you enjoy a fast startup pace and want the unique impact that comes with building a business while operating it, this is the place for you.

The Impact You Will Make

  • Strategic Business Partner: Act as a primary financial advisor alongside the VP of Strategic Finance across department heads. Provide insights and analysis to drive operational efficiency, improve profitability, and support strategic decision-making.

  • Performance Management: Own monthly and quarterly financial reporting, delivering clear, data-driven narratives regarding performance against targets. Partner with Accounting to ensure accurate accruals, reclassifications, and alignment of the performance narrative. Design, track, and optimize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) through executive-level dashboards on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.

  • Financial Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting: Lead the end-to-end execution of the annual operating plan and rolling quarterly forecasts.

  • 5 to 7+ years of progressive experience in corporate finance, FP&A, or commercial finance within business units.

  • System Implementation: Direct experience building enterprise management reporting systems (specifically Anaplan) in partnership with external consultants (i.e., as a power-user and/or PMO lead).

  • 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.

  • Core FP&A Mastery: A proven track record of leading core FP&A processes (month-end analysis, in-year reforecasting, operating plans, and multi-year strategic plans).

  • 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.

The Way You Work

  • 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.
