Your role involves challenging commission rates, modeling partnerships, analyzing margins, and proactively communicating P&L insights to leadership ahead of meetings.

• Challenge commercial assumptions with rigorous data analysis to ensure decisions are backed by accurate numbers.
• Translate complex P&L figures into concise, actionable narratives for GMs and executive leadership.
• Lead financial evaluations for new initiatives including commission tiers, exclusivity agreements, deal launches, and marketing co-investments, focusing on ROI, payback, and risk assessment.
• Co-manage promotional strategies with Commercial teams by modeling discount impacts, basket economics, customer lifetime value, and margin trade-offs.
• Identify potential risks and opportunities within the Food P&L before they materialize in actual results, recommending corrective actions.
• Develop and maintain business intelligence tools and dashboards that provide clear, self-service insights from complex commercial data streams.

Qualifications & Skills

• Strong background in FP&A, commercial finance, or business partnering, with proven ability to be a trusted finance advisor to commercial leaders.

• Excellent storytelling skills with data and confident presence to effectively communicate with GMs and senior leadership.
• Constructive and assertive mindset, comfortable questioning narratives when data suggests otherwise.
• Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous, and high-growth environments, with ability to build processes on the fly.

Preferred Experience

• Seven or more years of experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or business finance, ideally within food delivery, quick commerce, marketplaces, e-commerce, or other consumer technology sectors.
• Deep understanding of restaurant economics, pricing strategies, promotional mechanisms, and customer incentives impacting margin performance.
