Responsibilities

Support corporate development including mergers & acquisitions, capital raises, and partnerships, involving modeling, negotiation, and decision making.
Lead preparation of strategic financial reporting and conduct ongoing financial forecasting to provide management clear visibility into the company's financial performance and outlook.
Own special projects, analyses, and outcomes end-to-end with little to no direction or supervision, exercising sound judgment and strong decision-making to take ambiguous problems from question to recommendation.
Analyze financial and operational data across all brands to explain variance drivers and provide recommendations for improvement, with a strong understanding of strategic priorities for each business unit and overall corporate strategy.
Develop and maintain various business analytics across functions including marketing, finance, operations and development KPIs, via sophisticated dashboards and performance tracking.
Summarize analytical results clearly and concisely to support recommendations and inform key decisions in resource allocations.
Continuously develop and innovate around both standard, ad-hoc reporting and analytics.
Solve problems across the entire business, not just finance—digging into marketing, site merchandising, product development, promotions, and inventory to surface insights and drive better decisions across all brands.
Work with an AI-first mindset, leveraging AI tools to work faster and smarter alongside traditional analytical methods.
Go beyond building Excel models and producing standard financial reports—success means solving complex, often non-finance problems and thinking through the first-, second-, and third-order effects of decisions spanning marketing, inventory, accounts payable, and everything in between.
Play a key role in the annual budgeting and forecasting process, collaborating across all departments and ensuring alignment with corporate strategy.
