  • Partner with Consumer and Marketing leaders to manage marketing budgets, ensuring effective spend allocation and ROI. 

  • Drive comprehensive tracking and measurement of marketing spend efficiency across both the Consumer and Enterprise businesses, monitoring key metrics such as LTV:CAC and pipeline generation.

  • Build and maintain sophisticated Consumer financial models, including operating models, 5-year long-range planning models, and ad hoc analyses to support business decision-making.

  • Lead annual planning processes for both organizations in collaboration with key stakeholders.

  • Partner with the Corporate FP&A team to consolidate and report on total company financials.

  • Optimize financial processes and systems to improve efficiency and accuracy across FP&A functions.

 

What you’ll have

  • A bachelor’s degree from a four-year college or university in Finance or a related field.

  • A strong understanding of what drives a high-growth business (either B2B or D2C, or both!)

  • 4-7 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or related analytical roles. 

  • Exceptional financial modeling capabilities (experience with revenue/top-line desired preferred, but not required).

  • Experience preparing professional presentations for a wide range of audiences.

  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

  • Proven ability to manage multiple high-priority projects while maintaining attention to detail.

  • Understanding of GAAP revenue and expense recognition standards.

  • Strong systems aptitude and expert-level proficiency in Excel and Google Suite (experience with Adaptive and Tableau is a plus).

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
