About TalentPop
TalentPop is a high-growth partner for top E-commerce brands, including industry leaders like Core Power Yoga and Liquid I.V. We are rapidly scaling our customer experience and operational model. We are seeking an exceptional financial strategist to join our remote team and act as a strategic co-pilot to the executive team. This role is about transforming data into the critical financial intelligence needed to fuel our aggressive growth targets.

The Role: Lead Financial Analyst (LFA)

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you will be the core engine driving our FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) function. You will be responsible for understanding, modeling, and predicting the financial trajectory of the entire business, moving beyond reporting to financial architecture.

Your Mission: Financial Forecasting & Strategic Insight

You will own the integrity and strategic interpretation of TalentPop's financial performance. Your core focus areas will be:

• Financial Modeling & Budgeting
  • Develop, maintain, and own the comprehensive corporate financial model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow).
  • Drive the annual budget process and quarterly forecasting cycles.
• Strategic Analysis & Value Creation
  • Conduct deep-dive analysis on key performance drivers, including Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), labor efficiency, and gross margin optimization.
  • Identify clear opportunities for value creation and operational efficiency.
• Executive Reporting & Narratives
  • Prepare detailed, high-impact financial presentations for the Leadership Team and Board of Directors.
  • Clearly articulate performance, risks, and strategic recommendations to non-finance leaders.
• Business Unit Performance
  • Partner directly with the Head of Recruitment and Head of Operations to provide financial oversight.
  • Support departmental budget management, headcount planning, and expense control against strategic goals.
• System Optimization (Finance Focus)
  • Work closely with the Accounting team to improve the efficiency and accuracy of financial data flow, ensuring alignment between the General Ledger (GL) and planning tools.

What Makes You the Right Fit

• Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Investment Banking, Management Consulting, or Corporate Finance.
• Preference for experience within a high-growth SaaS or E-commerce services environment.
• Modeling Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in financial modeling (3-statement modeling) and advanced data manipulation in Excel/Google Sheets is non-negotiable.
• Process Ownership: Proven ability to manage and own the full corporate budgeting and forecasting process for a multi-million-dollar organization.
• Financial Acumen: Strong understanding of GAAP/IFRS principles and how they apply to financial reporting and variance analysis.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to synthesize complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations for non-finance leaders.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related quantitative field.
• Bonus Points: Experience with Financial Planning Software (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan) and working knowledge of SQL or BI Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).

Remote Technical Requirements

To ensure seamless remote collaboration, candidates must meet the following minimum technical standards:

• Internet Connection: Reliable internet connection with 20 Mbps minimum (upload and download).
• Personal Computer: Personal computer with at least an i5 processor (or equivalent).
