• 5+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, financial planning, or a related role;
• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, variance analysis, cash flow, and management reporting;
• Demonstrated experience owning or materially supporting recurring budgeting and forecasting processes;
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel;
• Strong business partnership and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights;
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and operate effectively in a fast-paced, growing organization;
• Experience with enterprise planning, reporting, or financial systems.
