About the Role

Osmo, a digital olfaction company, is seeking a Finance & Operations Engineer to join the Office of the CFO. This role encompasses financial planning and analysis (FP&A), financial modeling, finance engineering, business operations, and investor support. The ideal candidate will bring a tech-forward, builder's mindset to streamline processes, automate workflows, and partner with business leaders to drive informed decision-making.

Responsibilities

• FP&A and Financial Modeling:
  • Own and maintain the corporate financial model, including P&L, cash forecasts, and scenario analyses.
  • Build and manage department-level budgets, track actuals vs. plan, and provide variance analysis.
  • Prepare board- and investor-facing financial materials, including slides, data room exhibits, and ad hoc analyses.
  • Support month-end close and financial reporting processes.
  • Design models for strategic decisions (e.g., make-vs-buy, pricing, headcount ROI, capital allocation).
  • Automate manual processes and improve data infrastructure connecting business systems to the corporate model.
• Finance Engineering & Systems:
  • Identify and improve manual processes, brittle workflows, and data gaps.
  • Build automations for reporting, reconciliations, variance alerts, and close checklists.
  • Integrate finance tools and systems for real-time data flows.
  • Evaluate and implement AI capabilities to enhance finance operations.
• Business Operations & Finance Business Partnering:
  • Serve as the primary finance contact for department heads, translating financial data into actionable insights.
  • Partner with business units on budget planning and forecast updates, challenging assumptions and ensuring financial rigor.
  • Own variance narratives and collaborate with leaders to address gaps.
  • Lead cross-functional projects and maintain operational infrastructure (vendor management, contract administration, compliance filings).
• Investor & Leadership Support:
  • Prepare materials for investor due diligence and fundraising processes.
  • Support board and investor reporting, drafting materials for board packages and updates.
  • Take on delegated workstreams from the CFO, delivering finished products independently.

Qualifications

• 4–8 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or a similar analytical role.
• Advanced financial modeling skills, with the ability to build and audit complex models.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects independently with strong stakeholder management.
• Excellent written communication skills, with a focus on clarity and conciseness.
• Tech-forward approach, including AI tooling, scripting/API familiarity, and automation focus.
• Comfort with ambiguity and making judgment calls in the absence of complete information.
• Experience with ERP or accounting systems (NetSuite preferred).

Ways to Stand Out

• Experience building or maintaining finance-related data pipelines, automations, or integrations.
• Previous role at a venture-backed startup (Series A/B/C) in finance or business operations.
• Exposure to investor relations, due diligence, or fundraising processes.
• Familiarity with spend management and HRIS platforms (e.g., Ramp, JustWorks).
