As Director of FP&A at Cents, you will serve as the leader of the FP&A function and play a pivotal role in guiding the company’s financial planning, analysis, and strategic decision-making processes.

Working closely with the CFO and senior leadership team, you will help scale the company’s financial infrastructure, improve visibility into performance drivers, and support high-impact decisions across the business.

We're a hybrid team that works together in our NYC office three days a week. Our in-office anchor days are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, when you'll find the broader team collaborating, meeting, and connecting in person. Tuesdays and Fridays are remote, giving you dedicated time for focused work while still maintaining the flexibility of a hybrid schedule.

Key Responsibilities:

    Departmental and Corporate Budgeting & Forecasting:

    Lead the annual budgeting process, rolling forecasts, and long-range planning across all departments and at the corporate level. Build and maintain driver-based models that improve planning accuracy, support resource allocation, and align financial targets with company strategy.
