POSITION SUMMARY

The Summer FP&A Intern will join the Financial Planning & Analysis team for an immersive, hands-on experience supporting the analytical engine behind the company's revenue and growth strategy.

  • Link KPIs to forward performance: Help evaluate how leading indicators and operational KPIs (pipeline, productivity, utilization, etc.) factor into future revenue and forecast accuracy.
  • Prepare analysis and reporting: Compile data from multiple sources, perform variance and trend analysis, and build clear, accurate outputs (tables, charts, dashboards) for stakeholder review.
