FP&a Manager

Welcome to Brightline! We are seeking an FP&A Manager for a 6-month contract role, with the possibility of conversion to full-time based on performance and business needs. We are seeking someone with a proven track record of scaling FP&A in high-growth startups, bringing expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and complex financial modeling. This role is hands-on and expects that you have touched it all on the P&L, from variable revenue modeling and demand/supply planning to OPEX management. You will dive deep into data, build financial models, and deliver clear, actionable insights for leaders that will shape the company’s strategy. As a key business partner to the executive team, you will play a critical role in performance reporting and strategic decision-making.

The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, is highly analytical, and acts as a collaborative business partner.
