About the role

Havenly is seeking an Associate to join our Strategy & Corporate Finance team to help drive long-term growth for the business by providing actionable analysis and empowering stakeholders across the business to make data-driven decisions.

Responsibilities

• Work with an AI-first mindset, leveraging AI tools to work faster and smarter alongside traditional analytical methods
• Excel proficiency is essential, but learning how AI can solve problems in new and exciting ways is part of the role
• Support corporate development including mergers & acquisitions, capital raises, and partnerships including modeling, negotiation, and decision making
• Lead preparation of strategic financial reporting and conduct ongoing financial forecasting to provide management clear visibility into the company's financial performance and outlook
• Own special projects, analyses, and outcomes end-to-end with little to no direction or supervision, exercising sound judgment and strong decision-making to take ambiguous problems from question to recommendation
• Play a key role in our annual budgeting and forecasting process, collaborating across all departments and ensuring alignment with our corporate strategy
• Analyze financial and operational data across all of our brands to explain variance drivers and provide recommendations for improvement with a strong understanding of our strategic priorities for each business unit and overall corporate strategy
• Develop and keep various business analytics across functions including marketing, finance, operations and development KPIs, via sophisticated dashboards and performance tracking
• Summarize analytical results clearly and concisely to support recommendations and inform key decisions in resource allocations
• Continuously develop and innovate around both standard, ad-hoc reporting and analytics

Requirements

• Demonstrated financial acumen and analytical experience delivering results-driven strategic recommendations, complex business modeling in excel, and creating meaningful analysis to drive key business decisions
• 3+ years of experience in Private Equity, Investment Banking, Strategy Consulting, or other strategic finance or corporate development roles
• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience, in business, management, or a related field; MBA preferred
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, highly organized, exceptional attention to detail, strong and proven project management capabilities and stakeholder relationship development, and able to manage competing priorities
• Comfort managing through ambiguity and working with limited data
• Prior experience in a new business or startup highly desired
• Advanced MS Excel user with experience building complex financial models and dashboards
• An innate sense of curiosity about different brands within the market, as well as trends in the market and AI
• Able to thrive in an in-person work environment but also effective in collaborating across multiple teams located in multiple geographies
