About The Position

This is a critical leadership role at the center of how we run the business. We are looking for a high-horsepower operator who can own the core FP&A engine while building a modern, insight-driven analytics capability from the ground up. This individual will act as a key partner to senior leadership, a driver of execution across the organization, and a builder of both systems and teams. This is not a maintenance role. This is a build, transform, and lead role. You will be expected to step in, create structure where it doesn’t exist, elevate how we plan and analyze the business, and develop into a future senior leader of the company.

Requirements

• High horsepower: you process information quickly, connect dots others miss, and thrive in complex environments
• Builder mentality: you don’t wait for perfect structure—you create it
• Operator + thinker: you can run disciplined processes while also stepping back to see the bigger picture
• Low ego, high ownership: you take responsibility, drive outcomes, and elevate the people around you
• Future leader: you have the ambition and capability to grow into a senior leadership role
• Drive, curiosity, and intellectual horsepower
• A bias for action and ownership
• The ability to quickly learn a business and challenge assumptions

Nice To Haves

• We care less about exact industry experience

Responsibilities

• Run the FP&A Engine: Own and drive the company’s forecasting, annual planning, and long-range strategic planning processes

• Build a Best-in-Class Reporting & Consolidation Function: Lead consolidation across multiple business units, bringing clarity and accountability to financial performance
• Redesign our reporting suite from the ground up—moving from static outputs to dynamic, decision-oriented insights
• Create a modern view into the business that leaders can actually use to run it
• Create a Real Analytics Capability: Stand up and lead a centralized analytics function that pulls from all available data sources—regardless of system or structure
• Move beyond reporting into true insight generation: identifying opportunities, risks, and performance drivers
• Build tools, dashboards, and scalable solutions that elevate decision-making across the organization
• Build and Lead a High-Performance Team: Recruit and develop a team of hungry, high-potential analysts
• Set a high bar for performance, ownership, and intellectual rigor
• Actively develop future leaders—this role is a feeder for broader leadership within the company
