Spreetail • Carapichaima, NV

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Spreetail is seeking a Principal Financial Analyst, Merchandising finance to serve as a critical analytical partner to our Merchandising and Category leadership teams, shaping how we think about pricing, promotions, assortment, and category profitability. This is a highly analytical, SQL-intensive role built for someone who thrives on getting hands-on with complex data — you'll independently query and model large-scale datasets in Snowflake, build sophisticated PVM analyses, and turn dense financial detail into clear, decisive recommendations that influence real commercial outcomes. You'll own the financial rigor behind new SKU and assortment launches, evaluate marketing spend and incrementality, and bring operational finance discipline to a fast-moving ecommerce environment. This role is ideal for a seasoned financial analyst who wants significant autonomy, direct exposure to senior stakeholders, and the opportunity to define how data drives merchandising strategy at scale.

Requirements

• Proven experience partnering directly with Merchandising, Category, or Commercial leadership in a senior operational finance capacity.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in Price, Volume, Mix (PVM) analysis, with a demonstrated ability to build PVM models from the ground up, isolate business drivers, and translate complex financial mechanics into a narrative that shapes executive-level decisions.
• Extensive SQL expertise — writing complex, performant queries independently against large transactional datasets (Snowflake or equivalent) to build financial models and dashboards without reliance on data engineering support.
• Track record owning end-to-end financial support for new SKU, brand, or assortment launches.
• Experience evaluating marketing spend and incrementality.
• Strong foundation in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Data Analytics.
• Analytical horsepower to independently untangle ambiguous, high-stakes business questions and deliver precise, decision-ready insights.
• 7–10+ years of progressive experience in financial analysis, FP&A, or merchandising finance.
• Advanced, daily fluency in SQL and Snowflake to extract and manipulate complex, large-scale datasets.
• Strong Power BI and advanced Excel skills to build automated, scalable reporting infrastructure.
• Lead in-depth financial modeling, PVM analysis, and scenario planning to surface margin improvement, inventory efficiency, and category profitability levers.
• Operate as a thought partner to senior Merchandising and Finance stakeholders, communicating data-dense findings with clarity, driving cross-functional alignment, and proactively identifying where deeper analysis is needed.
