Beyond core FP&A responsibilities, you will be expected to drive significant process improvement across our forecasting, close, and reporting workflows — including the design and implementation of standardized templates, automated reporting pipelines, and scalable model architecture. You will support the build-out of executive-ready financial dashboards and KPI reporting that give Technology leadership real-time visibility into spend, headcount, and performance. You will also take support crafting the monthly financial decks presented to senior leadership, translating complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives. This is a strategic, high-impact role for a self-starter who thrives on building durable infrastructure and influencing decisions at the highest levels of the organization.
