Head of FP&A & Operations AI-Driven, Multi-Entity Growth

We're a fast-moving company in the education space, and we're hiring an in-house Head of FP&A and Operations. This is a foundational role — you'll be the single owner of the financial plan, the operating budget, and the FP&A function across multiple business lines. If you're a smart generalist who can build a 10-year model from a blank sheet, talk with CFOs, and use AI tools to do the work of a small team, we want to talk. What you'll own The long-term financial model. Build and maintain a multi-year, multi-entity operating model. Unit economics, revenue build, cost structure, consolidated P&L. Every number ties. The annual budget and rolling forecast. Run the budgeting cycle. Refresh actuals monthly. Produce variance commentary an executive can read in 60 seconds. Cash forecasting. Rolling 13-week cash forecast across entities. Unit economics. Own CAC, LTV, payback, contribution margin, and cohort analysis. Be the person who can explain in 30 seconds why a number moved. Investor-grade materials. Financial sections of fundraising decks, data rooms, diligence Q&A, KPI dashboards. AI-leveraged FP&A operations. Build repeatable AI workflows so monthly close and reforecast take hours, not weeks. Operations glue. Headcount planning, vendor contracts, comp design, pricing analysis — the finance‑literate generalist work that needs an owner. 5–10 years in FP&A, investment banking, private equity, strategic finance at a high‑growth operator, or a top‑tier consulting firm with finance‑heavy work. You can build a multi-year, multi‑entity operating model from scratch and defend every assumption. Excel/Sheets master. Pivot tables, dynamic arrays, scenario toggles, sensitivity tables are reflexes. Aggressive, high‑taste user of AI tools (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Perplexity, agentic workflows). You've built things with them, not just chatted. You can talk finance‑to‑finance with a top‑tier CFO and not get rolled. You write tight. One‑page memos that get read once and acted on. You QA your own work obsessively. You catch your errors before sending. When you don't, you own it cleanly. Strongly preferred Experience supporting a capital raise (data room, diligence Q&A, model audit). Experience with cohort‑based or multi‑unit business economics. You are not a fit if You think AI output doesn't need to be checked. You need a finance team underneath you to be productive. You're uncomfortable being the only finance person in the room with the CEO and external advisors. Why this role is a great opportunity Foundational hire. You define the function, the tools, the cadence, and the standard. Real scope. Multi‑entity, multi‑business‑line, with capital‑raise work on the horizon. Build the AI playbook. We expect FP&A to be radically AI‑leveraged. You get to build the playbook from day one. #J-18808-Ljbffr
