Associate Manager - Sales Finance & Analytics (40964)
About The Position
The Associate Manager is a strategic partner embedded directly in C-suite and executive decision-making, not a reporting function that hands off analysis for others to act on. This role turns complex data into sharp performance insights, financial models, and strategic recommendations that drive measurable growth for assigned client accounts. As a leader within the Analytics Department, you'll own executive-level performance analysis, pressure-test forecasting and compensation strategies, and work directly with business owners to close performance gaps and maximize profitability. You'll move quickly, challenge assumptions, and influence high-impact decisions as they're being made. The ideal candidate is exceptionally strong in Excel, highly analytical, and energized by fast-paced, high-accountability environments – someone who navigates ambiguity with confidence and leads through complex market dynamics with clarity and precision.
Requirements
- Strategic Leadership & Influence: Operates as a peer to C-suite leadership, shaping decisions in real time and driving outcomes rather than just presenting options.
- Critical & Independent Thinking: Challenges assumptions, pressure-tests models before they inform decisions, and surfaces contrarian views when the data supports them.
- Business Ownership & Accountability: Takes direct accountability for the decisions their analysis informs; thinks and acts like an owner of account performance.
- Bias for Action & Urgency: Proactively identifies opportunities and gaps without being asked; moves quickly and decisively with incomplete information.

- Highly analytical
