Corporate FP&A Lead

The Role

The Corporate FP&A owns company-level financial planning and analysis — the AOP, forecasts, and estimates that leadership plans against, the P&L from CM3 down to PAT, and the cash and runway that keep the brand funded to grow. This is a company-wide role that works directly with the Head of Finance and every corporate and support function. You will slice performance by category, channel, and geography; convert variances into corrective action; and bring a strategic finance lens to every major decision — new sub-channels, category bets, and changes to the AOP — so leadership knows exactly how the P&L and cash flow will move before they commit. Your mandate is to make Corporate FP&A the function leadership turns to first when a decision has a number attached to it.

Reporting & Interfaces

• Reports to: Head of Finance


• Internal Interfaces: Head of Finance, Category Business Finance, Sales, Financial Controller / FinOps, Legal, HR, Supply Chain, and other department leads


• External Interfaces: Auditors, Banks (as relevant to cash flow and runway), Board / Investors (as relevant to strategic studies)

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Month 1 — Understand: Develop an understanding of the business, categories, channels, sub-channels, operating expenses, and finance arrangements. Build relationships with the Department Leads.


• Month 2 — Build: Create the Corporate FP&A process — governance, cadence, metrics, and SOPs — to establish a best-in-class FP&A function.


• Month 3 — Advise & Drive: Operate as an advisor to the Head of Finance and management. Drive the monthly FP&A cadence and drive results.
