About the job
What you'll do
- Drive the end-to-end execution of monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasting cycles
- Manage complex variance analysis (Actuals vs. Budget/Forecast) to provide the "why" behind the numbers, ensuring leadership has a pulse on fiscal health
- Build and maintain sophisticated, dynamic financial models to support capital allocation, long-range planning, and ROI analysis for new market expansions and product launches
- Act as a dedicated financial advisor to various business units, translating departmental performance into enterprise-level impact
- Help stakeholders manage their OpEx and Headcount while maintaining alignment with company-wide profitability goals
- Lead the preparation of board-ready reporting packages and internal management dashboards
- Perform meticulous integrity checks to ensure our financial data remains the "single source of truth" for the organization

- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (complex formulas, nested logic, macros) and experience with ERP/EPM systems (e.g., NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, or Anaplan)
- Solid foundation in GAAP and advanced financial analysis, with the ability to deconstruct unit economics across diverse business lines by synthesizing massive, multi-faceted data sets into clear margin profiles
- Proven ability to leverage generative AI and advanced data tools (e.g., LLMs, specialized financial AI agents, automated data analysis workflows) to accelerate financial modeling, synthesize market research, and automate routine reporting without sacrificing accuracy
- Proven track record of moving beyond basic financial reporting to deliver forward-looking guidance by synthesizing data to explain the narrative behind the numbers and what to do next
- Exceptional ability to distill granular data into clear, executive-level narratives while maintaining perfection regarding the visual presentation of data and accuracy of insights
- Demonstrate a proactive, "no task too small" attitude with comfort in ambiguity and a proven track record of managing multiple high-priority deliverables under tight deadlines
Nice-to-haves
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field
