We don't just work in the sporting industry; we are actively changing it.  Since 2006, our solutions have been leading the way in sports performance software, science, and data, in a world where 1% can literally mean the difference between winning and losing.

We want people who are passionate about transforming data into strategic insights — partnering closely with the business to drive smarter, faster decisions

Working as part of the Catapult Finance team in our Boston office, you will be responsible for providing financial analysis and support to the Senior Leadership team.

You will work independently with key stakeholders across Finance, Commercial, and Business Intelligence systems - leveraging AI tools and automation to deliver timely, high-quality analysis and insight, communicated clearly and with impact.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Partner with the Senior Leadership team to develop a deep understanding of their business units
• Analyze and report on P&L actuals vs. budget variances
• Own budgeting and forecasting for multiple business units, identifying potential risks and opportunities
• Drive the development of the CFO Reporting Package, working with the wider team to improve current reporting and analysis
• Build and maintain self-service BI dashboards and automated reports that replace manual, ad-hoc reporting and give business leaders real-time visibility into performance
• Lead the end-to-end automation of FP&A reporting — identifying manual processes and replacing them with scalable, AI-powered or system-driven solutions in collaboration with key stakeholders

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of experience in complex financial modeling and analysis, including budgeting and forecasting, ideally in fast-paced environments
• Strong business partnering skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with senior leaders, influence decisions with data, and translate complex financial information into clear, actionable narratives
• Demonstrated experience automating manual financial processes using AI tools, system integrations, or scripting - a builder's mindset with a bias for scalable solutions
• Naturally curious with a genuine passion for data and comfortable exploring large datasets and driven to surface insights beyond the numbers
• Ability to work independently, take on ambiguous tasks, and deliver quality output on time
• Advanced Excel skills (including Power Query or Power Pivot) and proficiency with Google Workspace

Preferred:

• Experience with BI tools (e.g. Power BI, Databricks) and systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, and Workday Adaptive
• Experience in global, technology-based subscription businesses

WHAT YOUR SUCCESS WILL LOOK LIKE

In 6 months:

• You have built strong relationships with senior leaders across your assigned business units and understand their reporting needs, KPIs, and key business drivers.
• You independently own the monthly P&L actuals vs. budget variance reporting cycle, delivering on-time analysis with clear, actionable commentary.
• You have completed your first full budgeting or forecasting cycle, identifying key risks and opportunities across your business units.
• You have automated at least one manual FP&A reporting process using AI tools, system integrations, or scripting.

In 12 months:

• You have significantly improved the CFO Reporting Package, with better structure, accuracy, and speed of delivery.
• Self-service BI dashboards are live and actively used by business leaders, reducing reliance on manual, ad-hoc reporting.
• You have led the end-to-end automation of multiple FP&A reporting workflows, creating measurable efficiency gains for the Finance team.
