Lead Financial Analyst

Strategic Finance Leader: Lead Financial Analyst (Remote) at TalentPop

Transform Data into Strategic Decisions

TalentPop is a high-growth partner for top E-commerce brands (including Core Power Yoga and Liquid I.V.), rapidly scaling our customer experience and operational model. We are looking for an exceptional Lead Financial Analyst (LFA) to join our remote Finance team. This role is not about maintaining the books; it's about being a strategic co-pilot to the executive team, providing the critical financial intelligence needed to fuel our aggressive growth targets.

You will be the core engine driving our FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) function, responsible for understanding, modeling, and predicting the financial trajectory of the entire business.

Your Mission: Financial Forecasting & Insight

You will own the integrity and strategic interpretation of TalentPop's financial performance. Your core focus areas will be:

• Financial Modeling & Budgeting: Develop, maintain, and own the comprehensive corporate financial model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), driving the annual budget process, and quarterly forecasting cycles.
• Strategic Analysis: Conduct deep-dive analysis on key performance drivers, including Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), labor efficiency, and gross margin optimization to identify opportunities for value creation.
• Executive Reporting & Narratives: Prepare detailed, high-impact financial presentations for the leadership team and Board of Directors, clearly articulating performance, risks, and strategic recommendations.
• Business Unit Performance: Partner directly with the Head of Recruitment and Head of Operations to provide financial oversight, helping them manage their departmental budgets, headcount planning, and expense control against strategic goals.
• System Optimization (Finance Focus): Work closely with the Accounting team to improve the efficiency and accuracy of financial data flow, ensuring alignment between the general ledger (GL) and planning tools.
  
  

What Makes You the Right Fit

• 5+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Investment Banking, Management Consulting, or Corporate Finance, preferably within a high-growth SaaS or E-commerce services environment.
• Expert-level proficiency in financial modeling (3-statement modeling) and advanced data manipulation in Excel/Google Sheets is non-negotiable.
• Proven ability to manage and own the full corporate budgeting and forecasting process for a multi-million-dollar organization.
• Strong understanding of GAAP/IFRS principles and how they apply to financial reporting and variance analysis.
• Exceptional ability to synthesize complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations for non-finance leaders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related quantitative field.
• Bonus Points: Experience with Financial Planning Software (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan) and working knowledge of SQL or BI Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
  
  

Remote Technical Requirements

To ensure seamless remote collaboration and performance in this role, candidates must meet the following minimum technical standards:

• Internet Connection: Reliable internet connection with 20 Mbps minimum for both upload and download speeds.
