The role involves splitting time between these areas, with flexibility based on business priorities as determined by the Sr. Manager, FP&A.
How You'll Own It
- Own the recurring National Fleet reporting cadence, including weekly sales and KPI reporting and monthly close P&L reviews with variance analysis versus budget, forecast, and prior year
- Support monthly forecasting, annual budgeting, and long-range planning for the National Fleet portfolio, including revenue build-ups, sales-mix analysis, FTE ramp and headcount expense modeling, and identification of risks and opportunities to outlook
- Support the DA.com business as the secondary finance partner — contributing to its monthly forecast, annual budget, and KPI reporting, and stepping in on ad-hoc DA.com analysis as needed
- Build and maintain dynamic, driver-based financial models and what-if scenarios to support pricing, sales-mix, fee-structure, and strategic-investment decisions
- Design and evolve KPI dashboards used by National Fleet and DA.com leadership to track daily, weekly, and monthly performance
- Serve as a trusted business partner to National Fleet leadership — translating operational activity into financial insight and proactively surfacing risks and opportunities
- Prepare and present monthly financial review decks, quarterly earnings materials, and executive one-pagers for senior leadership
- Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Procurement, Sales Ops, and other FP&A teams to compile results and reconcile performance drivers
- Translate business requirements into new reporting tools, and continuously look for ways to elevate existing processes rather than simply maintain them
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field
- 5+ years of progressive FP&A or financial-analysis experience, ideally supporting a commercial, fleet, retail, or e-commerce P&L
- Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills, including experience building driver-based models from scratch
- Proven ability to work independently, anticipate business needs, and proactively address them with minimal supervision
- Demonstrated experience creating executive-level summaries and presenting to senior leadership
- Highly organized with the highest standards of accuracy and precision
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable navigating ambiguity and competing priorities
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to work well across functions and levels
Added Fuel
- If you have FMVA or CFA certification
- Prior experience independently supporting a distinct product line, functional area, or commercial/fleet business
- Prior experience with headcount and FTE-ramp expense analysis
- Knowledge of planning technologies; Oracle EPM strongly preferred
- Prior project-leadership experience (formal people-management not required)
