- Ensure budgets, forecasts, and systems remain aligned as business activity evolves
- Enforce spend discipline and financial controls while enabling teams to move quickly
- Act as a reliable, Pacific Time finance partner, improving responsiveness and reducing friction across the organization
What We’re Looking For:
- 4+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or operational finance
- Hands-on ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and expense management in a high-transaction environment
- Direct experience reviewing and approving purchase orders for budget and policy compliance
- Experience managing headcount tracking, hiring changes, and role approvals in partnership with HR or Recruiting
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills with the ability to maintain accurate financial models and trackers
