FP&A Manager

Skylight is a technology startup based out of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Our mission is to connect loved ones by creating the world’s simplest products and services that improve family life. We make consumer products, like Skylight Frame and Skylight Calendar, that are loved by millions of people across the globe. Our founders are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs, who have scaled the business to $100M+ in annual revenue while being completely bootstrapped. We think often about the thousands of smiles we are able to put on our customers’ faces each day, and it fills our hearts with purpose. That’s why we have been working hard to expand our team and invent, so that we can continue to bring the magic of Skylight to millions of loved ones throughout the world.

Skylight has undergone a huge amount of growth over the past 18 months and we’re not stopping! That’s why we’re seeking an experienced FP&A Manager as the first dedicated FP&A hire. This position will report to our Senior Director of Finance, and will be a key member of the team as we continue to scale the business.

What You’ll Do:

• Work closely with our Senior Director of Finance to manage the forecasting process across the full P&L
• Own the cash forecast
• Provide monthly, quarterly, and year-end variance analysis in order to help us better understand business performance
• Help define and track key performance indicators (KPIs), and provide updates to executive team
• Analyze e-commerce metrics, including customer acquisition costs, lifetime value, and conversion rates, to inform strategic decisions
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to evaluate the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and discounting strategies
• Lead ad-hoc analyses to help support strong financial business decisions as the company continues to expand
• Work cross functionally with the Operations team on our inventory planning and ordering process
• Work closely with the accounting team to improve reporting and establish robust processes as we introduce new systems

Who You Are:

• Strong written and verbal communicator - you must be able to convey complex financial concepts and analyses to a variety of audiences
• Detail oriented - a must for any finance role; you double and triple check your formulas and links
• Naturally curious - if you see something that doesn’t make sense or piques your interest, you naturally want to get to the bottom of it.
• Collaborative - we all have our own areas of expertise but everything we do impacts other teams so working cohesively with other teams is key to success
• Able to make decisions with imperfect information and on short timelines - we’re a startup and we don’t always have every data point we’d like to, but we have to make decisions and be nimble
• Organized and strong time and expectation management - we have a lot to do, but it’s important that we’re honest with each other about how much can be done in a day.

Need to Have:

• Proven experience (5+ years) in financial planning and analysis, preferably in a startup or high-growth environment
• Strong financial modeling skills with a diverse set of modeling experiences (e.g. new initiative, cash flow, investment opportunities, operations analysis, LTV/CAC, M&A, etc.)
• Prior experience working at a DTC, E-Commerce, or Retail brand
• Bachelors’ degree in Finance, Accounting, or other relevant field

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with Looker or other BI tools
• Familiarity with ERP systems, experience with implementations a plus
• Experience putting together board decks or investment memos
• Preference for candidates based in LA
