    • Identify and communicate drivers of performance—what happened, why it happened, and what to do next.
    • Develop dashboards and reports that make data actionable for non-financial stakeholders.

    • Track record of using Financial Planning Software such as NetSuite or Tableau
    • Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups, dynamic models).
    • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills—able to simplify complex data into clear recommendations.
    • Effective communication and presentation skills; confident working with all levels of leadership.
    • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, hybrid environment.

    Preferred:

    • Experience in consumer goods, ecommerce, or manufacturing industries.
    • Familiarity with ERP and BI tools (NetSuite, Power BI, Looker, or similar).
    • Experience with multi-channel revenue models and inventory forecasting.
    • Understanding of supply chain and COGS drivers in a physical product business.

    The Type of Person Who Thrives Here

    You’re equal parts analytical and strategic. You dig into the numbers not just to explain what happened—but to influence what happens next. You’re meticulous with details but never lose sight of the bigger picture. You love improving processes, finding efficiencies, and helping teams make smarter, faster decisions.

    If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
