Senior Manager, FP&A

Apply Description Living Proof is looking for a high-potential Sr. Manager, FP&A to step into a visible, business-critical role at the center of financial planning, performance management, and strategic decision-making. This is not a back-office finance role — it is a true business partnering opportunity for someone who wants to influence priorities, challenge assumptions, and help shape how the company grows. The right candidate will bring strong analytical horsepower, commercial curiosity, and the confidence to work directly with senior leaders across the business. You will help build sharper forecasts, clearer performance narratives, and more scalable FP&A processes — while gaining broad exposure to brand strategy, innovation, sales channels, profitability, and long-term growth priorities. Key Responsibilities Influencing the Organization: Provide thought leadership across teams, driving influence and creating alignment to business objectives. Strategic Financial Planning: Support management of the company’s P&L, connecting financial outcomes to strategic priorities, commercial choices, and operational execution. Support the development of the annual budget, monthly forecasts, and long-term financial plans. Collaborate with senior leadership in crafting and refining the company’s overall strategy, ensuring financial targets support the broader business vision. Lead high-impact financial analyses and business cases, translating models into clear recommendations that support smart, value-creating decisions. Analysis & Performance Insights: Analyze financial performance against budgets, forecasts, and strategic plans, providing clear variance explanations, root cause analysis, and actionable insights. Develop and maintain financial models to guide key business decisions and drive operational efficiency. Prepare financial reports and executive-ready performance narratives, translating complex data into clear insights for senior leaders and cross-functional partners. Partner with Controlling team to ensure proper and accurate financials and forecast accuracy. Process Optimization & Technology: Support the automation of FP&A processes, including the implementation and ongoing management of tools like Workday Adaptive Planning. Identify opportunities to improve financial systems, enhance forecasting accuracy, and streamline workflows. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with marketing, sales, operations, innovation, and supply chain to understand business drivers, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure financial plans reflect real commercial priorities. Support preparation of leadership presentations and strategic materials, helping shape the financial story behind business performance, risks, and opportunities. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in finance, Business Administration, Economics, or related field. MBA strongly preferred. 6-8+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related field, ideally in a fast-paced consumer, beauty, CPG, or branded environment. Demonstrated ability to lead workstreams, influence partners, and raise the quality of financial thinking across the organization. Strong financial modeling, analytical, and storytelling skills, with the ability to connect numbers to business drivers and practical recommendations.
