Head of FP&A
About The Position
Skillz operates across multiple unique business lines with distinct revenue models, and without dedicated senior FP&A leadership, capital allocation decisions are made on incomplete information and budget overruns go undetected until it's too late. This role owns the Corporate FP&A function end-to-end: calendar and process across different business units, forecast accuracy for Corporate (including CashFlow), BvA delivery/month end process, team performance, and the financial accountability culture across all department heads. Beyond execution, this hire builds the infrastructure and team capability that makes FP&A a scalable, strategic function as the business grows.
