Job description
Olo was born out of a simple idea: What if you could order and pay for a coffee from your phone and have it ready upon arrival at the cafe? We got to work in 2005, sending text message orders to printers—two years before the iPhone would change the world.
Today, Olo operates as a leading SaaS platform accelerating digital transformation in the restaurant industry. Our Order, Pay, and Engage solutions help restaurants deliver more personalized and profitable guest experiences, and enable brands to do more with less - making every guest feel like a regular.
We are looking for an experienced finance professional to join the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) function of the organization. Reporting to the VP, FP&A, you will own Olo’s G&A model with a dedicated focus on leading cross-functional efforts to drive forecast accuracy and process optimization around key G&A investments. Clear communication that easily resonates with leadership, organization, strong attention to detail, and general leadership qualities are heavily sought after attributes for this role.
This role will also play a critical role in consolidating Olo’s P&L forecasts and relevant reporting, variance analysis, and recommending actions to optimize the P&L. You can work remotely from anywhere in the U.S. or at Olo’s headquarters in NYC.
What You’ll Do
- Lead all aspects of compensation-focused FP&A, driving alignment and understanding across FP&A, People & Culture, Accounting, and Executive Leadership. This comp planning focus includes driving the complete cycle of Olo-wide annual budgeting, forecasting, and analysis around benefits, bonuses, taxes, etc.
- Spearhead the optimization of existing processes across headcount reporting, tracking, forecasting, and scenario-based modeling to enhance efficiency and internal controls.
- Take ownership and manage all G&A departmental budgets in partnership with Budget owners, ensuring financial accountability and strategic resource allocation in consideration of company goals and our target P&L.
- Operate with a service focused mindset in support of our Budget owners.
- Lead the consolidation of the company-wide P&L forecasts (beyond just G&A) by integrating inputs from other FP&A teams, Accounting counterparts, and P+C partners to drive toward specific timelines catering to C-team meetings, Auditor and Board related deadlines, and public reporting needs.
- Deepen FP&A’s support of IR by translating internal variance analysis into simplified external narratives for public consumption by investors, analysts, etc.
- Collaborate closely with the Accounting team during the month-end close to ensure accurate actuals are reflected in the P&L and to maintain data fidelity through proper coding and timely reclassifications.
- Play a key role in the implementation and optimization of financial planning tools, with a focus on closing our transition to Pigment.
- Identify and address opportunities to improve processes and thresholds around invoice and contract approvals in partnership with Accounts Payable and Legal. Aim to strike the right balance between managing risk and driving focus toward what truly matters.
- Manage and develop a FP&A Manager in a collaborative environment
What We’ll Expect From You
- 7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Finance, Strategic Planning, Accounting or related fields; restaurant or restaurant tech experience is a plus, but not required.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics or equivalent experience.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills to build strong working relationships and rapport with Exec level leaders across the organization.
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills with the ability to translate details into clear, high level summaries.
- Proven ability to design and implement streamlined processes and improve internal controls.
- Experience managing multiple Budget, Forecast, and Operating Plan versions with meticulous attention to detail and documentation.
- Ability to proactively identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency gains.
