We’re looking for an innovative individual with strong business acumen to join our Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team. This role isn’t your typical data science position.

• As a core member of the Corporate FP&A team, prepare, review, and enhance key financial forecasts as part of quarterly, annual, and long‑range planning.
• Conduct in‑depth analyses to uncover the underlying drivers of business performance, profitability, and variance against plans.
• Act as the team’s subject‑matter expert on generative AI and other emerging technologies. Research, prototype, and implement innovative solutions (e.g., using LLMs for variance commentary, creating AI‑powered analytical assistants) to enhance the efficiency and impact of the FP&A function.
• Partner directly with senior leaders to understand their strategic questions and take ambiguous problems, frame them into analytical projects, execute the analysis, and deliver clear, concise recommendations.
• Present complex analytical findings in a simple and compelling way to diverse audiences, from C‑suite executives to operational managers.
• Collaborate with data engineering and IT teams to improve data accessibility and quality.
