Strategic FP&A Manager

About the role

As we expand operations, we are looking for an experienced and highly analytical FP&A Manager to join our finance team and help drive strategic decision-making through rigorous financial analysis. This role reports directly to the Head of Finance and will support high-velocity decision-making across markets and business units.

What you’ll be doing

• Financial Modeling & Analysis - Continuously evolve the company's financial models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), built in Excel with a robust structure, auditability, and version control
• Build scenario and sensitivity models that stress-test fleet expansion assumptions, financing structures, CapEx timelines, and revenue ramp curves
• Develop and maintain unit economics models tracking cost per mile, vehicle utilization, depot throughput, deployment rate, and contribution margin by market
• Support pricing strategy analysis and capital deployment planning across various service models
• Planning & Forecasting - Support the annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning processes in close collaboration with business units
• Maintain a rolling forecast, updating it monthly with actual results and revised business assumptions
• Drive monthly and quarterly business reviews: package actuals vs. budget vs. forecast with clear variance analysis and narrative commentary for leadership
• Partner with Operations and Strategy teams to translate physical KPIs (vehicles on road, miles driven, depot capacity, AV operational performance) into financial projections
• Business Partnering - Serve as the analytical right hand to the Head of Finance, preparing data-driven briefings, and decision-support packages
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations and Strategy teams to evaluate fleet optimization, and scalability initiatives
• Evaluate the financial impact of strategic initiatives including new market expansion, fleet investments, and strategic partnerships, using DCF, payback, and IRR frameworks
• Work closely with accounting to ensure the close process feeds cleanly into FP&A reporting; flag variances early and own the reconciliation between actuals and the model
• Prepare materials for leadership and ad hoc analysis
• Infrastructure & Process - Design and implement the FP&A operating cadence, close calendar, reporting templates, planning timelines
• Maintain data integrity across planning systems and financial tools
• Evaluate and implement FP&A tooling to automate consolidation and reporting as the company scales
• Drive continuous improvement in financial processes, automation, and systems integrations
• Establish documentation and governance standards for all models and financial reports so outputs are auditable

• - Ability to build large, multi-tab, financial models from scratch
• - Mastery of advanced Excel functions: INDEX/MATCH, dynamic arrays, XLOOKUP, and Power Query
• - Proficiency with BI tools and financial planning systems; VBA, Python, or SQL for automating data pulls is a plus
• - Consistent model structure: inputs separated from calculations separated from outputs; color-coded hardcodes vs. formulas.
• Skills & Competencies
• - Deep understanding of operational drivers in transportation technology and on-demand platforms, familiarity with metrics such as cost per mile, utilization, and AV operational performance
• - Financial storytelling: ability to distill complex data into actionable insights and communicate effectively with leadership

• - Strong cross-functional communication, equally comfortable presenting to leadership and working through operational data with a fleet manager
• - Self-starter with strong project management skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• - High ownership mindset: you identify what the business needs to know and build the analysis without waiting for direction
