• Strategic Planning and Initiatives. You will assist leaders in developing strategies and initiatives to drive growth and margin improvements and execute on strategic initiatives such as M-A support, product launches, market entry, and process improvement efforts. Additionally, you will provide analytical support, conduct research as required, and help to develop and coach new and junior associates.

• Business Partnering. You will partner with key stakeholders to align on business priorities and drive effective solutions/execution. You will make compelling arguments based on facts and data and obtain necessary buy-in to deliver on business objectives.

• Exceptional and effective communication skills, including being able to challenge assumptions and drivers while explaining your position on expense metrics and drivers.

• Experience in corporate FP&A, including proven proficiency in performing complex financial analyses and building financial models from scratch.
• Experience presenting to senior leadership.
• You will have a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent. An MBA or credits towards an MBA will allow additional comfortability in the role.
