Job description

As an FP&A Analyst at High Tide, you will support financial planning, performance management, and strategic decision-making across our expanding operations. This role requires a strong understanding of budgeting and forecasting, financial modeling, and cross-functional collaboration. You will partner with stakeholders to drive data-informed decisions and create long-term value.

Our FP&A analysts must go beyond the numbers to provide actionable insights that help drive strategic decisions. FP&A sits at the center of the business, so the ability to partner effectively across teams is critical. You’ll quickly become a go-to resource who connects the dots between data and decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain complex financial models to support forecasting (e.g. Free cash Flow, Gross Margin and EBITDA), budgeting, long-range planning, and strategic initiatives.
• Provide monthly and quarterly variance analyses, identifying key trends, risks, and opportunities across product lines and geographies.
• Support reporting and commentary for earnings releases and quarterly board presentations.
• Collaborate with business unit leaders to evaluate business performance and provide actionable insights.
• Analyze key financial and non-financial metrics to support margin optimization and operational efficiency.
• Support scenario analysis and business case modeling for new strategic projects, market entries, product launches, and capital investments.
• Adhere to relevant SOX compliance as required in a public company environment.
• Partner closely with accounting and operations to ensure data accuracy and financial alignment.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field (MBA or CPA preferred).
• 2-5 years of FP&A, corporate finance, or business analysis experience—ideally in a highly regulated or multi-entity environment.
• Experience in the cannabis industry, CPG, retail, or manufacturing is highly preferred.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., Sage, NetSuite, SAP) and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Adaptive).
• Strong understanding of IFRS and public company reporting standards.
• Exceptional attention to detail, analytical thinking, and communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving industry with shifting regulatory requirements.
• Ability to manage confidential information with integrity and discretion.
