In addition, this role will support broader FP&A data reporting, and other ad hoc consolidated reporting requests.

- Build and maintain recurring dashboards and reporting packages for leadership review
- Monitor performance trends and proactively flag risks and opportunities
Data Analysis & Insights

- Identify the underlying business drivers behind performance trends and help quantify their financial impact
Budgeting and Forecasting
- Help roll forward and maintain complex financial models each month, updating them with the latest business drivers, actuals, and assumptions from topline through contribution margin
- Gather, organize, and validate underlying source data to support model updates and first-draft AOP/forecast outputs
- Contribute to upside and risk scenario modeling, incorporating channel-level growth assumptions, trends, and sales driver trajectories
Consolidated Reporting
- Own end-to-end production of weekly company-wide sales reporting for leadership
- Help the broader FP&A team ensure marketing inputs are properly reflected in total-company reporting and forecasts
- Other reporting and ad hoc requests as needed.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Serve as day-to-day finance support for Digital and Marketing teams

- Experience with NetSuite a plus
- Demonstrated ability to work with large, complex data sets and distill them into clear, actionable insights
