Role Overview
SuperOrdinary is seeking a strategic and commercially minded Senior Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis to serve as the finance partner to our new business initiatives.
This role sits within the Finance organization and serves as both the forecast owner and a strategic advisor to commercial leadership, brand partners, and internal teams. The ideal candidate combines rigorous financial modeling, fluency in marketplace and channel economics, and executive-level communication skills to guide the business through new-channel launches and profitable scaling.
