You will support budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, monthly reporting, and strategic analysis across areas including headcount, professional fees, business matters, settlements, insurance, software, and other corporate costs. This role operates with meaningful autonomy and judgment.

• Steward payroll and G&A expenses across the supported functions, with ownership of key performance indicators and mechanisms that drive accountability to financial targets.
• Translate business strategies and executive priorities into financial plans, tradeoffs, and actionable recommendations, while proactively identifying risks, opportunities, and dependencies.
• Own and maintain detailed financial models for headcount and payroll, professional fees, business matters, settlements, insurance, software, and other corporate expenses.
• Support target setting and annual, quarterly, and rolling forecast processes by developing assumptions, evaluating business drivers, and influencing prioritization through clear financial insights.
• Lead monthly close and management reporting activities, including variance analysis, accrual support, forecast updates, and preparation of accurate, timely, and decision-relevant executive summaries.
• Create inspection mechanisms for budgets, forecasts, headcount, and actual results to improve forecast accuracy, financial visibility, data quality, and accountability to plan.
• Partner with functional stakeholders to improve planning and reporting across key spend categories, including professional services, business matters, settlements, insurance, and other corporate expenses.
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis and decision support for strategic initiatives, investment requests, cost optimization opportunities, and organizational changes. Develop standardized reporting and dashboards that translate complex financial data into actionable insights and ensure consistent communication with business partners and stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement and automation across reporting structures, close processes, governance, and planning mechanisms to increase efficiency and scalability.
• Extract, reconcile, and analyze data from central systems and databases using tools such as Hyperion SmartView, Oracle ERP, Tableau, Excel, and SQL.

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• 3+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, Finance Business Partnering, Accounting, or a related analytical role, with an understanding of GAAP and financial statements.
• Advanced analytical and financial modeling skills, including demonstrated experience building complex models from the ground up and working with large, detailed datasets.
• Advanced Excel skills, including lookups, SUMIFS, pivot tables, scenario modeling, and large-data analysis; strong PowerPoint and data visualization skills.
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, headcount and payroll analysis, key performance indicators, variance analysis, and financial controls.
• Confidence interacting with senior business leaders and the ability to distill complex analyses into clear, concise insights and recommendations for senior and executive audiences.
• Strong influencing, written, and verbal communication skills, with sound business judgment and the ability to build effective working relationships and drive data-backed decisions.
• Ability to independently navigate ambiguity by framing problems, setting priorities, and driving analytical work forward in the absence of established templates or clear precedent.

Bonus:
