Director, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
Position Summary
Based in our Roswell, GA, Store Support Center (Corporate Office), the Director, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) is the financial steward of the company’s growth agenda. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, this role leads enterprise budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, and the analytics that drive better commercial and operational decisions. As a forward-looking, business-facing partner, the Director translates financial data into actionable insight for senior leadership across merchandising, store operations, e-commerce, marketing, and supply chain. This is a build-and-scale role for a company on a strong growth trajectory — the ideal candidate will strengthen our planning processes, sharpen our unit economics, and help shape capital allocation as we expand.
Duties And Responsibilities
Lead the annual budgeting process and short- and long-range business planning — own the company-wide budget, quarterly reforecasts, and the 3–5 year long-range financial plan, partnering with each functional leader to build bottoms-up, defensible targets.
Own the management reporting cadence — deliver monthly and quarterly performance reporting to the executive team and Board, with clear variance analysis (actual vs. plan, forecast, and prior year) and a concise narrative of the business drivers.
Drive new-store, capital, and investment analysis — build and maintain new-store pro formas, ROI/payback models, and post-investment reviews to support real estate, remodel, and capital allocation decisions in a growing store fleet.
Lead capital allocation and prioritization across competing investments, applying measurable, returns-based KPIs — including ROIC, IRR, and NPV — to ensure capital is deployed to its highest and best use.
Lead and develop the team — build, mentor, and manage a team of FP&A analysts, raising the analytical bar and the standard of business partnership across the function.
Partner cross-functionally — serve as the embedded finance partner to merchandising, store operations, marketing, and supply chain, supporting promotional planning, pricing, markdown strategy, and inventory/open-to-buy decisions.
Generate insights and actions — distill complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable steps and recommendations that enable leaders across the business to make faster, better-informed decisions.
Sharpen unit economics — analyze sales, margin, inventory productivity, comp-store trends, four-wall profitability, labor, and channel mix (in-store vs. e-commerce) to identify margin and efficiency opportunities.
Own and maintain the financial model — develop and maintain the integrated operating model linking the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, including scenario and sensitivity analysis to stress-test growth assumptions.
Manage liquidity and KPIs — support cash flow forecasting, working capital management, and the definition and tracking of company KPIs and dashboards.
Leverage AI and automation — apply AI, machine learning, and automation tools to enhance forecasting accuracy, accelerate reporting, surface anomalies and insights, and drive productivity across the FP&A function; champion the responsible adoption of emerging AI capabilities to elevate the team’s analytical impact.
