3h•Remote

About The Position

Wild Alaskan Company’s mission is to accelerate humanity’s transition to sustainable food systems by fostering meaningful, interconnected relationships between human beings, wild seafood and the planet. We deliver wild-caught, sustainable seafood to households across the United States. Powered by our custom-built eCommerce platform and three generations of history and expertise in the Alaskan fishing industry, we constantly strive to meet our promise of a top-notch product and experience. And we do it all in a fully-remote environment that is fast-paced, challenging, and fun. You're a puzzle-solver. You take a data-driven approach to the world, and you're not satisfied with "what happened.” You want to know why, and what to do about it. You love getting building models and getting deep in the weeds: pulling the data and tracing a variance to its root cause. You see AI not as a novelty but as an unfair advantage, and you're already putting it to work. As an FP&A Analyst at Wild Alaskan Company, you'll be the second hire on a growing FP&A function, contributing to the hands-on analytical work that turns questions into answers. Reporting to the FP&A Manager, you'll maintain and build data-driven models that support business decisions, budgeting and forecasting, and our S&OP process. You'll run ad-hoc analyses for stakeholders across the company and help shape a growing business function. The work is deeply cross-functional: you'll partner regularly with stakeholders across Supply Chain, Operations, Marketing, Product, Data, and Accounting, gaining broad exposure to how the business runs and building yourself into a trusted analytical partner across the company. This is a new role, and a chance to grow with a scaling finance function in a mission-driven, fast-moving business.
