Role Overview
We are seeking a sharp, commercially minded Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis to join our Finance team.

You will own the company's consolidated P&L planning process, deliver insightful management reporting, and bring a point of view to every business conversation you touch.
Responsibilities
- Own the annual operating plan (AOP) and quarterly re-forecast processes for the consolidated P&L, including Net Sales, Gross Margin, and SG&A
- Build and maintain a rolling 12-month forecast model, incorporating volume drivers such as SKU count, sell-through rates, channel mix, and seasonal trends
- Partner with Merchandising and Buying teams to develop bottoms-up sales plans by category, channel, and geography
- Model gross margin scenarios across product categories, factoring in COGS, markdowns, promotional cadence, and input cost pressures
- Produce the monthly business review package for the CEO, CFO, and Board — including P&L performance vs. plan, KPI dashboards, and executive commentary
- Develop channel-level profitability reporting across DTC (e-commerce and retail) and wholesale, enabling leadership to evaluate portfolio trade-offs

- Partner with Accounting to ensure forecast-to-close alignment and accurate variance explanations
- Lead financial evaluation of strategic initiatives including new store openings, international expansion, brand collaborations, and capital investments
- Build ROI models and business cases for marketing investment, product launches, and go-to-market strategies in collaboration with brand and channel teams
- Conduct competitive benchmarking and industry analysis to contextualize financial performance against peer fashion and beauty companies
- Identify risks and opportunities within the P&L and proactively surface recommendations to leadership
- Drive continuous improvement of FP&A processes, reporting infrastructure, and planning tools — including ERP and EPM system enhancements
- Partner with Data & Analytics to build automated reporting pipelines that reduce manual effort and improve data integrity
- Mentor and develop junior analysts, establishing best practices and a high standard for financial analysis and storytelling
