This role sits at the intersection of:

• Finance

You will work directly with leadership to improve visibility into business performance, identify opportunities and risks, and support strategic decision-making.

• Help evaluate AI and automation opportunities from a financial ROI perspective

• Assist with acquisition analysis and integration planning where needed

Reporting & Communication

• Translate financial insights into operational actions

• Improve visibility and accountability across teams

What We’re Looking For

• 3–7 years experience in:

• FP&A

• Strategic finance

• Consulting

• Accounting/financial background

• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills

• Excellent Excel capability

• Strong business intuition and curiosity

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-moving environments

• Strong communication skills and ability to influence non-financial stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker)

• SQL or lightweight data skills

• AI-native workflow/tool familiarity

• Exposure to M&A or operational transformation

What Success Looks Like

• Leadership has significantly better visibility into business performance

• Faster and higher-quality decision making

• Earlier identification of operational issues and risks

• Improved forecasting accuracy

• Clearer linkage between operational metrics and financial outcomes

Why Join

Our businesses are entering a major transformation phase as we evolve into more AI-native, automation-driven organizations.

This role offers the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and help shape how the business operates during a critical period of growth and change.

We are looking for someone who wants to think like a business owner, not just a finance professional.
