We are looking for an FP&A Manager who sees that opportunity and is excited to help build it. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys modernizing how FP&A is done at scale, bringing AI and automation into the core of analysis, and partnering closely with operational and commercial leaders to influence real outcomes.
