ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM:

The Financial Planning and Analysis team provides comprehensive financial insight into our business, forecasting and driving efficient growth. We partner with business leaders across The Knot Worldwide to forecast TKWW's continued growth and provide timely insights, reporting, and analysis on high-impact business decisions. Our team is passionate about using data, analytics, and strong business judgment to drive optimal decision-making across the organization.

TKWW is looking for an innately curious, data-driven Senior Director, FP&A to join our team in New York, NY. As a senior leader on the FP&A team, you will own the company's planning, forecasting, and performance-reporting cadence and lead a team of finance professionals across the US and Europe. You will serve as a trusted thought partner to the executive team, translating business performance into clear recommendations that shape strategy, investment, and resource allocation. You will also help scale our planning and analysis capabilities globally.

## RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop a team of FP&A managers and analysts across multiple locations. Set clear priorities, raise the bar on analytical rigor and communication, and build a strong bench of talent.
- Strategic Partnership: Act as a senior finance partner to the CFO and executive leadership team. Work closely with department heads and business leaders to translate their goals into financial plans, and challenge assumptions constructively.
- Planning & Forecasting: Own the annual budget, long-range plan, and rolling forecast processes across a diverse set of business lines and functions. Establish a deep understanding of the key drivers of each supported function, and build insights about our products, marketplace dynamics, and competitors.
- Modeling & Strategic Analysis: Direct the development of financial models to evaluate strategic alternatives, investments, pricing and packaging, M&A, and other high-impact decisions. Ensure models are accurate, scalable, and well documented.
- Reporting & Insights: Build and maintain repeatable, scalable processes for management, Board, and investor-ready reporting. Deliver clear, concise narratives that explain variances to plan and highlight risks and opportunities.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Accounting on monthly and quarterly closes and incorporate actual results into the rolling forecast. Work with Data, Analytics, and Systems teams to improve data quality, tooling, and automation.
- Process & Capability Building: Continuously improve the FP&A operating model, including planning tools, KPI frameworks, and reporting infrastructure, as the business scales.

## SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES HAVE:

- Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business administration, economics, or statistics required; MBA or CPA/CFA a plus.
- 12+ years of progressive experience in investment banking, private equity / venture capital, FP&A, corporate finance, strategic finance, or related analytical roles, including 5+ years leading teams and managing managers.
- Experience partnering directly with C-suite leaders and presenting to Boards or investors.
- Background in a technology, marketplace, subscription, or SaaS environment preferred. Strong familiarity with marketplace and subscription business metrics (ARR, CAC payback, LTV:CAC, retention / churn, unit economic analysis).

- A track record of using AI tools, both general-purpose (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) and / or embedded in ERP / FP&A platforms, to redesign finance processes, not just speed up existing ones, with a bias towards automating manual reporting and freeing the team for higher-value analysis.
- Ability to build models from scratch and to improve existing ones, ensuring quality, timeliness, and accuracy.
- Proven ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and drive execution in a fast-paced environment.
