About The Position

Own and operate the company's rolling three-year integrated financial model, along with the operational forecasting engines that feed it, as the analytical backbone for how we run the business and tell our story to investors. This is a hands-on-keys modeling role. The person in this seat is in the model every day, building it, breaking it, refining it, and making it the single source of truth that the CFO and the executive team plan against. Strategic judgment matters, but it is applied through the model, not in place of it.

Requirements

• Deep financial modeling craft, ideally forged in investment banking, a buy-side seat, or an equivalent position, with genuine three-statement fluency.
• Management consulting backgrounds are also ideal, but preference will be given to candidates with strong modeling experience.
• Real accounting mastery means understanding how and why the statements flow.
• Comfort living in the detail day to day; energized by building and owning the model.
• Strategic instincts and strong communication skills necessary because the model must inform decisions and survive investor scrutiny.

Nice To Haves

• Sports, media, or live-events exposure is a strong plus given how much of the forecast is event-driven.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated operating & financial model: A rolling, fully articulated three-statement model covering P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, spanning three years and refreshed on a regular monthly cadence. The statements must tie cleanly and stay accounting-correct when assumptions flex, and the cash flow should articulate from the P&L and balance sheet rather than be hardcoded.
• Own the operational forecasting modules that drive the integrated model, including: Event cost unit economics, Sponsorship revenue forecasting, Ticketing forecasting, Merchandise forecasting, Media / broadcast strategy modeling, and Host market modeling.
• Own Headcount & compensation modeling: A workforce plan by department showing fully-loaded cost (salary, payroll taxes, benefits, and bonus accrual) plus hiring cadence and ramp timing, built to flex cleanly.
• Own Planning & decision modeling: The analytical work that surrounds the model, including the annual operating plan build, reforecast mechanics, working-capital and liquidity modeling, and discrete business-case models.
• Provide Investor, team owner and board support: Translating the model into cash forecasts, scenario cases, and board materials, and being able to stand behind every number.
• Partner with the controller / accounting team to consume actuals to true up the forecast.
• Partner with the financial systems analyst on model-to-system reconciliation.
• Collaborate on FP&A process work, such as the monthly reporting cadence, variance commentary, and the planning calendar.
• Engage in cross-functional partnership with the Host Markets Development team to evaluate and model future markets for X Games expansion.
