You'll work closely with Operations and other functions to translate business strategy into financial projections and insights that leadership can trust. The role has a clear growth path to Senior Analyst for someone who wants FP&A to inform operational and strategic decisions in real time.
The company emphasizes a data-driven culture balanced with pragmatism, a people-first approach, and a fully remote team spread across the US with periodic in-person department and company off-sites.

- Familiarity with AI tools (Claude Code, Codex) and experience automating finance workflows

- ERP exposure, particularly NetSuite; auditing experience preferred over implementation experience
- Consumer, CPG, or DTC industry background
