Senior Financial Analyst

LMK Recruiting Solution is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join our client's North American FP&A team. This is not a traditional "output-based" reporting role; we are looking for a proactive Strategic Business Partner who will drive growth and efficiency across our wellness and consumer product portfolio. The Role This position serves as a critical finance partner to three primary commercial channels: Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), Marketing, and Sales. Reporting to the FP&A Manager for North America (who reports directly to the CFO), you will be expected to operate with high levels of autonomy. We need a self-starter who does not require "hand-holding" and is comfortable engaging deeply with stakeholders to propose meaningful changes. What You'll Do Commercial Partnership: Serve as the lead finance partner for DTC, Marketing, and Sales, moving beyond data entry to provide high-level decision support. Stakeholder Engagement: Within your first two weeks, you will meet with approximately 10 key stakeholders to understand their business needs and establish a collaborative relationship. Reporting & Presentation: Manage and execute three major monthly leadership presentations using PowerPoint to tell a clear, compelling story with financial data. Process Transformation: Adopt a "blow it up and make it better" mindset; you are encouraged to challenge existing processes that "suck" and implement more efficient workflows. Strategic Modeling: Build and maintain complex models for revenue forecasting, margin bridges, and ROI frameworks for marketing campaigns. AI Integration: Leverage Claude (AI) and other emerging tools to streamline analysis and improve forecasting accuracy. What You'll Bring 2–5 years of experience in FP&A, Finance, or Accounting. Robust FP&A Fundamentals: You must have strong experience in variance analysis and GL exposure. Advanced Excel Skills: High proficiency in financial modeling is non-negotiable. Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. AI Literacy: A willingness to learn and use Claude (AI) to enhance productivity (this will be a key interview topic). Industry Experience: While CPG or DTC experience is a plus, we value strong finance fundamentals above specific industry knowledge. Software Literacy: Familiarity with BI/ERP tools is helpful, though it is lower on our priority list as these systems can be taught. Compensation & Schedule Base Salary: $90,000 – $105,000 per year, plus bonus eligibility. Schedule: This is a hybrid role based at our Chicago Loop location, requiring in-office collaboration Tuesday–Thursday. Benefits: Comprehensive package including medical/dental/vision, 401(k) match, and paid parental/sick/vacation leave. #J-18808-Ljbffr LMK Recruiting Solutions
