You are equal parts strategic advisor, hands‑on modeler, and team builder, and you are energized by the opportunity to scale a finance function alongside a business that is growing quickly and moving into its next chapter.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Own the Company's financial planning architecture end-to-end, including long-range strategic plan, annual operating plan, rolling forecast, and 13-week cash and liquidity model.
• Serve as the SVP Finance and Accounting's principal analytical partner on board materials and executive communications.
• Establish the financial performance management cadence through monthly and quarterly business reviews, driver‑based variance analysis, and forward‑looking guidance.

• In your first 6 months, you'll have led your first full budget or re‑forecast cycle under your governance, established the KPI framework and business review cadence, delivered board‑ready financial materials the SVP Finance and Accounting can rely on, and put a credible plan in place for the team, systems, and processes needed to scale.
• In your first 12 months, you'll have a functioning FP&A team, a long-range strategic financial plan that leadership actively uses to make decisions, and a track record of being the person executives call when a hard financial question needs a defensible answer.
• You’ll be measured on the quality and reliability of the plan and forecast, the caliber of the team you build, the strategic value of the analysis you deliver into executive decisions, and the degree to which finance becomes a genuine partner to the business.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including a meaningful tenure in investment banking, corporate development, private equity, venture capital or an elite corporate FP&A function.
• 5+ years as a VP leading FP&A teams, including managing multiple team members, with at least one tour of duty at a growth oriented, media related, venture or PE‑backed sub‑$500m revenue company.

• Proven track record advising a SVP Finance and Accounting, CEO, and Board on strategic and capital decisions.
• Sophisticated command of financial modeling, forecasting, capital structure, liquidity management, and M&A.
• Ability to drive the adoption of AI and automation across the FP&A function, embedding best practices into forecasting, reporting, and analysis workflows to increase speed, accuracy, and analytical depth.
• Ability to introduce structure, governance, and prioritization in environments with imperfect data, undefined processes, and competing urgent priorities.
• Executive presence and communication skills sufficient to advise, challenge, and influence C‑suite leaders.
• Proven leader of people who develops talent, builds durable teams, and sets a high bar.
