  • Manage the consolidation of forecast and planning data within Adaptive Planning, monitor business performance against budget and forecast, and identify risks, opportunities, and recommended actions to support business goals.
  • Develop financial models, scenario analyses, and sales compensation plan modeling to evaluate business initiatives, strategic investments, organizational changes, and revenue growth opportunities.
  • Prepare and deliver monthly and quarterly management reporting by analyzing financial results, synthesizing revenue and expense trends, assessing current and future business risks, and communicating key insights and recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Partner closely with Sales leadership to analyze pipeline performance, sales results, revenue trends, and key business metrics, leveraging Workday, OfficeConnect, and other reporting tools to drive data-informed decision-making and improve forecasting accuracy.
  • Drive continuous improvement across financial planning, reporting automation, data quality, FP&A tools, and business processes by partnering with Corporate Finance and Business Systems teams, leveraging generative AI tools to enhance productivity and outcomes, and leading cross-functional initiatives that support the Enterprise business's strategic priorities.

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and business analysis.
  • Strong financial modeling, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into actionable business insights and recommendations.
  • Experience partnering with commercial teams and business leaders to support strategic decision-making and drive business performance.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience working with financial planning, ERP, and business intelligence platforms.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present complex financial concepts clearly to diverse audiences and influence decision-making across the organization.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
