The Director will work closely with the CFO and business leaders to:

Strategy and FP&A will serve as the analytical foundation for owning the end-to-end Board of Directors presentation process, which includes:

• Financial analysis
• Storyline development
• Executive synthesis
• Final presentation development

The Director will also anticipate the Board's questions and ensure management is prepared with the analysis and context needed to address them.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience, including meaningful experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, strategic finance, FP&A, business operations, or a similarly rigorous strategic environment.
• Advanced PowerPoint skills with demonstrated experience owning and developing executive or Board-level presentations, including storyline development, executive synthesis, and presentation design.
• Strong Excel and financial/analytical modeling skills, with the ability to independently analyze data and translate findings into strategic recommendations.
• Proficiency in Google Workspace, particularly Google Slides and Google Sheets, preferred.
• Strong executive communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to distill complex financial, operational, and strategic information into clear messages for the Board and senior stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to bring structure to evolving business inputs, identify what matters, and develop clear recommendations.
• Strong business and financial acumen with the ability to evaluate business models, growth opportunities, and investment decisions.
• Ability to communicate clearly and credibly with senior executives and work effectively across functions.
• High degree of ownership, intellectual curiosity, and ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial, and relatively flat organization.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with a willingness to be hands-on and drive work through execution.

Requirements

• Prior management consulting experience is strongly preferred, particularly at a leading strategy consulting firm such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or a Big Four firm.
• Experience in gaming, esports, media, entertainment, live events, technology, sports, or other adjacent industries is a plus, but not required.
