Reports to: Associate Director, FP&A
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah (Hybrid - 3x/week in-office)
About the Role:
Backcountry is looking for a finance leader to own the planning, forecasting, and analytical engine that powers business decisions across the company. As Manager, FP&A, you will lead the annual budgeting and forecasting cycles, build financial models that inform strategic investments, and champion an AI-first approach to how the finance team operates.
In your first 6–12 months, success means delivering reliable monthly reporting packages and executive dashboards, tightening variance analysis, and identifying at least one high-impact area where AI or automation materially improves speed or quality of FP&A output.
This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
What You'll Do:
- Lead the annual budgeting and forecasting processes, partnering with department heads to develop accurate and achievable financial plans aligned with overall business objectives.
- Own monthly reporting packages, variance analysis, and executive dashboards; translate insights into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.
- Analyze financial and operational performance to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement across the business.
- Develop and maintain financial models to support scenario analysis, investment decisions, and strategic planning.
- Evaluate the financial impact of proposed business initiatives and provide data-driven recommendations.
- Prepare and present monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports to senior leadership, communicating complex financial information clearly across departments.
- Collaborate with accounting, operations, marketing, and other teams to gather data and incorporate key business drivers into planning processes.
- Operationalize recurring analyses into always-on dashboards and automated alerts so stakeholders receive timely insights and next-best-actions.
- Champion an AI-first approach to FP&A by identifying process steps where AI can improve speed and quality, and implementing solutions ranging from CustomGPTs to automated workflows.
