What You'll Do

  • Build, maintain, and enhance financial models to support strategic planning, forecasting, investment decisions, and business growth initiatives.
  • Partner cross-functionally with leaders across Operations, Marketing, Product, EDP, and Data Analytics to develop and manage annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and long-range financial plans.
  • Lead scenario planning and sensitivity analyses to evaluate business opportunities, risks, and strategic initiatives.
  • Develop, track, and report on company-wide KPIs, ensuring leadership has timely, accurate, and actionable insights to drive decision-making.
  • Collaborate with the Director of Strategic Finance and Analytics to shape and execute the company's financial strategy, capital allocation priorities, and long-term growth plans.
  • Translate complex financial and operational data into clear recommendations for executive leadership and key stakeholders.
  • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting processes, including executive, board, and investor reporting materials.
  • Identify trends, risks, and opportunities across the business and proactively recommend actions to improve financial performance.
  • Partner closely with the Data Analytics team to strengthen data integrity, reporting automation, and financial insights.
  • Establish and maintain scalable financial processes, reporting frameworks, and controls that support a growing organization.
  • Evaluate and improve business performance through ad hoc analyses, profitability assessments, and strategic projects.
  • Serve as a trusted business partner to department leaders, providing financial guidance to support informed decision-making and resource allocation.

  • Strong financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and analytical skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex data into actionable insights and communicate effectively across technical, operational, and executive audiences.

  • Proven ability to influence stakeholders and build strong partnerships across all levels of an organization.
