Senior Financial Planning & Analysis Partner II

Join our dynamic, fast paced, FP&A team, partnering with the Product leadership team within the Audience Measurement division. This highly visible role is responsible for driving financial performance, providing actionable insights into core business investments, and ensuring fiscal discipline throughout the product lifecycle. The Senior Financial Planning & Analysis Partner II will support the comprehensive planning, forecasting, and reporting for all operating and capital expenditures related to product development. Success in this role requires a collaborative, high-impact individual who not only possesses deep analytical rigor but also a thorough understanding of product development economics and the broader media and measurement landscape. You will be instrumental in influencing senior leaders to make data-driven decisions that fuel top-line growth and enhance long-term valuation.

While most work will be done remotely, employees may be required onsite, in our NYC headquarters, for special projects, meetings etc.

  • Present comprehensive financial performance packages to Senior Management and Executive teams, clearly articulating key performance drivers, identifying financial risks, and highlighting strategic opportunities.
  • Oversee the monthly financial close process, including detailed variance analysis against plan / forecast, trending analysis, and providing strategic support to the Accounting function on accruals and required journal entries.
  • Champion continuous process improvement and best practices within the FP&A function, focusing on increasing efficiency, accuracy, and automation through leveraging financial systems and technology.
