We don't just work in the sporting industry; we are actively changing it. Since 2006, our solutions have been leading the way in sports performance software, science, and data, in a world where 1% can literally mean the difference between winning and losing.

We work with over 5,000+ teams around the world, empowering coaches, managers and trainers in premier teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, EPL, AFL, NRL, NCAA and more. We provide the information they need to optimize athletes’ health, game-day readiness, and performance, as well as in-game tactics.

Catapult is a sports technology company that empowers professional teams to make data-driven decisions. We deliver health, performance, video, and AI insights from the locker room to competitive environments, ensuring every decision is an opportunity to gain an advantage, sharpen performance, and build lasting success.

• Analyze and report on P&L actuals vs. budget variances
• Own budgeting and forecasting for multiple business units, identifying potential risks and opportunities
• Drive the development of the CFO Reporting Package, working with the wider team to improve current reporting and analysis
• Build and maintain self-service BI dashboards and automated reports that replace manual, ad-hoc reporting and give business leaders real-time visibility into performance
• Lead the end-to-end automation of FP&A reporting — identifying manual processes and replacing them with scalable, AI-powered or system-driven solutions in collaboration with key stakeholders

What You’ll Need:

• Strong business partnering skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with senior leaders, influence decisions with data, and translate complex financial information into clear, actionable narratives
• Demonstrated experience automating manual financial processes using AI tools, system integrations, or scripting - a builder's mindset with a bias for scalable solutions
• Naturally curious with a genuine passion for data and comfortable exploring large datasets and driven to surface insights beyond the numbers
• Ability to work independently, take on ambiguous tasks, and deliver quality output on time
• Advanced Excel skills (including Power Query or Power Pivot) and proficiency with Google Workspace

Preferred:

• Experience with BI tools (e.g. Power BI, Databricks) and systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, and Workday Adaptive
• Experience in global, technology-based subscription businesses

• You have significantly improved the CFO Reporting Package, with better structure, accuracy, and speed of delivery.Self-service BI dashboards are live and actively used by business leaders, reducing reliance on manual, ad-hoc reporting.
