FP&A Consultant (Budgeting & E-Commerce Operations)

Duration: Contract / Consulting Engagement

Department: Finance & Analytics

Role Overview

We’re seeking a hands-on FP&A Consultant to lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning for a fast-growing e-commerce business. This role is deeply operational - partnering with merchandising, marketing, supply chain, and fulfillment teams to build accurate budgets, strengthen financial models, and improve visibility into performance drivers. You’ll own the budgeting process end-to-end while building scalable tools, tightening assumptions, and delivering clear insights that help leadership make smarter decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Budgeting & Forecasting

• Lead the full annual budgeting cycle, including revenue, COGS, fulfillment, marketing spend, headcount, and operating expenses.
• Build and maintain driver-based forecasting models aligned to e-commerce KPIs (traffic, conversion, AOV, CAC, repeat rate, return rate).
• Refresh monthly forecasts based on actuals, trends, and updated business assumptions.
• Partner with business leaders to validate assumptions, challenge inputs, and ensure alignment across departments.
• Develop dynamic financial models for pricing, promotions, inventory planning, and marketing ROI.
• Run scenario analyses to evaluate demand shifts, margin impacts, supply chain constraints, and marketing investment trade‑offs.
• Translate model outputs into clear recommendations for leadership.

Performance Reporting & Insights

• Build weekly and monthly reporting packages covering revenue, margin, marketing efficiency, fulfillment costs, and contribution profit.
• Analyze variances vs. budget/forecast and identify root-cause drivers.
• Surface actionable insights to improve profitability, reduce cost leakage, and optimize spend.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work closely with Marketing, Merchandising, Operations, and Supply Chain to align financial plans with operational realities.
• Support inventory planning, SKU profitability analysis, and vendor cost negotiations with data-driven insights.
• Partner with Accounting on month-end close, accruals, and reconciliation of budget vs. actuals.

Process Improvement & Tooling

• Build scalable budgeting templates, dashboards, and SOPs for recurring FP&A processes.
• Improve data accuracy and streamline workflows through automation and better reporting structures.
• Recommend enhancements to financial systems, data pipelines, and analytics tools.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of FP&A, corporate finance, or consulting experience; e-commerce or consumer products strongly preferred.
• Strong financial modeling skills (Excel, Google Sheets; bonus for SQL or BI tools).
• Deep understanding of e-commerce KPIs, unit economics, and digital marketing metrics.
• Experience running budgeting cycles and building driver-based forecasts.
• Ability to translate complex data into clear insights and business recommendations.
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities.
• Strong communication skills and ability to partner across technical and non‑technical teams.

Hands-on, analytical, and operationally curious - someone who can dig into the numbers, challenge assumptions, build clean models, and help an e-commerce business understand exactly what drives performance and profitability.
