About the Role

Skillz operates across multiple unique business lines with distinct revenue models, and without dedicated senior FP&A leadership, capital allocation decisions are made on incomplete information and budget overruns go undetected until it's too late. This role owns the Corporate FP&A function end-to-end: calendar and process across different business units, forecast accuracy for Corporate (including CashFlow), BvA delivery/month end process, team performance, and the financial accountability culture across all department heads. Beyond execution, this hire builds the infrastructure and team capability that makes FP&A a scalable, strategic function as the business grows.

Responsibilities

• Lead financial planning and forecasting models for assigned business areas, maintaining accuracy within operating plan targets.
• Deliver monthly Budget vs. Actual analysis and updated operating models within three business days of Accounting close.
• Partner with department heads to embed a culture of financial accountability, establishing consistent cadences for budget review and variance management.
• Build and maintain SOPs for the FP&A function, creating a documented, scalable operating model for the team.
• Lead, develop, and performance manage a high-caliber FP&A team.

Key Competencies

• A resilient, self-directed leader who thrives in ambiguity and takes pride in building from the ground up.
• An internal entrepreneur who can rapidly understand a new business unit and translate its dynamics into predictive KPIs and financial models.
• A results-oriented professional with a clear track record of connecting financial work to measurable business outcomes.
• A hands-on leader who brings both strategic vision and operational depth, able to drive execution at the highest level while inspiring and developing a team to deliver exceptional results.
• A clear communicator who is comfortable with conflict, willing to challenge poor investments, and able to hold stakeholders accountable with credibility and professionalism.
• Proficient in SQL and financial modeling, with the technical fluency to lead a self-sufficient, data driven team.

Experience

• 10+ years in FP&A or corporate finance, with at least 5 years in a leadership or management capacity.
• Proven experience leading an FP&A function or sub-function within a multi-hundred-million dollar consumption-based business or business unit; gaming industry experience strongly preferred.
• Consistent track record of business impact and career progression demonstrated through measurable results and in-company advancement.
• Advanced SQL proficiency and financial modeling expertise, with demonstrated ability to build and maintain complex operating models independently.
