At Fanatics, we bring our BOLD Leadership Principles to life every day - building championship teams, obsessing over fans, acting with entrepreneurial speed, and delivering with a determined and relentless mindset.

Role Overview

The Senior Finance Analyst is a key business partner who leads forecasting and performance management, delivers clear insights on P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow drivers, and supports strategic initiatives that improve profitability and operational efficiency across Fanatics Commerce. This role operates independently on highly complex projects with extensive latitude for independent judgment, pairing strong financial acumen with the ability to translate complex data into concise recommendations for leadership. The Senior Finance Analyst delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.

How Will You Drive Impact

Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.

Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)

• Partner cross-functionally with business segment leaders and operational stakeholders to ensure forecasts and financial plans reflect business realities and strategic priorities.
• Serve as a trusted finance partner to leadership, communicating complex financial information clearly and influencing decision making across levels and functions.
• Collaborate with finance systems and data teams to roll out, maintain, and enhance consolidation, reporting, and planning tools used across the organization.

Fan & Customer Impact (Obsessed with Fans)

• Translate financial performance data into actionable insights that help the business make smarter investments and deliver better outcomes for fans and customers.
• Establish and maintain KPIs and scorecards - including margin, productivity, and inventory turns - that keep teams focused on the metrics that matter most.
• Prepare executive-ready reporting packages and dashboards (monthly close, forecast updates, KPI scorecards) that enable leadership to act with speed and confidence.
• Support month-end close activities including journal support, reconciliations, and accruals, ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting.

Innovation & Problem Solving (Limitless Entrepreneurial Spirit)

• Identify and implement process improvements and automation opportunities to streamline forecasting, reporting, and data quality at scale.
• Build and maintain driver-based financial models and run scenario and sensitivity analyses to pressure-test forecasts and inform growth decisions.
• Leverage AI and automation tools (e.g., Claude, Power BI, internal AI applications) to accelerate forecasting cycles, variance analysis, and reporting workflows.
• Conduct ad-hoc ROI analyses to evaluate strategic initiatives and support leadership in making data-driven investment decisions.

Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)

• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasting and budgeting processes, ensuring alignment with business plans and operational realities.
• Consolidate results across segments and partners, proactively highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities across P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow.
• Operate independently with strong prioritization and deadline management in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment, demonstrating a continuous-improvement mindset with unwavering attention to detail and data integrity.

AI & DIGITAL CAPABILITY

We are building a future-ready organization. This role is expected to:

• Apply AI and technology to improve efficiency, quality, and outcomes
• Use data and digital tools to inform decisions and enhance performance
• Demonstrate curiosity and adaptability in adopting new technologies and ways of working
• Contribute to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement

CAPABILITIES & EXPERIENCE YOU BRING

• 3–5 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or related roles; experience in retail, wholesale, CPG, or manufacturing is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong experience with ERP and planning systems (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Anaplan, Adaptive, Hyperion) and BI/reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• AI and automation experience (e.g., Claude, Power BI, internal AI applications) to accelerate forecasting, reporting, and variance analysis.
• Strong grasp of accounting principles and financial statements - P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow - including working capital mechanics.
• Demonstrated ability to distill large and complex datasets into clear insights and leadership-ready materials, with excellent communication and executive presence.
• Proven track record of operating independently, prioritizing effectively, and meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment with a continuous-improvement mindset.
• Commitment to data integrity, scalability, and detail in all deliverables.
