Manager, Financial Planning and Analysis

We are looking for a sharp, agile, and strategic Manager, Financial Planning and Analysis to join our fast-paced team. Reporting to the Senior Director, Strategic Finance, this isn’t a role where you’ll hide behind spreadsheets all day. While you must be a master of the data, your true value lies in your ability to translate complex numbers into actionable business strategies and partner directly with our executive leadership team. As a finance leader in a high-growth startup environment, you will have a massive impact on our trajectory. You will own our consolidation process, drive critical business decisions through rigorous financial analysis, and act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders.

You will:

• Strategic Business Partnering: Act as a core financial advisor to executive leadership and department heads. Translate financial metrics into narrative insights that drive strategic growth, resource allocation, and operational efficiency.

• Financial Consolidation Ownership: Take full ownership of the end-to-end financial consolidation process across multiple entities/revenue streams, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting.

• Critical Thinking & Analysis: Look beyond the surface level of the financial data. Identify trends, anticipate risks, and uncover hidden opportunities to optimize cash flow and profitability.

• FP&A and Modeling: Build, maintain, and scale robust financial models (Three-Statement models, forecasting, and scenario planning) that reflect the fast-changing realities of a startup.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams across the organization to streamline budget processes, track KPIs, and instill financial discipline without sacrificing startup speed.

You are:

• Startup DNA: 4+ years of progressive finance experience, with a proven track record of thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup or high-growth environment. You know how to build processes where none exist.

• Consolidation Expertise: Demonstrated experience owning the financial consolidation process across business units or entities.

• Power-User Data Skills: Elite proficiency in both Excel and Google Sheets. You can build complex, clean, and scalable models, but you also know when a simple, elegant solution is better.

• Executive Presence: Exceptional communication and presentation skills. You can confidently articulate financial concepts and defend strategic recommendations to C-suite executives and board members.

• Problem-Solving Mindset: Strong critical thinking skills with a natural curiosity to dig into data, challenge assumptions, and solve complex business problems.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. Professional certifications (CPA, CFA, or MBA) are a strong plus.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• High Visibility: You will have a literal seat at the table with executive leadership, giving you an unmatched view of how a company scales.

• Autonomy & Impact: We don’t micromanage. You will own your processes and see the direct impact of your decisions on the company’s bottom line.

• Dynamic Culture: Join a collaborative, forward-thinking team that values innovation, speed, and critical thinking over bureaucratic red tape.
