In addition, this role will support broader FP&A data reporting, and other ad hoc consolidated reporting requests.

- Track marketing and promotional activations, financial performance, channel mix shifts, and project ROI
- Help translate finance output into clear narratives for non-finance stakeholders, and translate digital/marketing data into financial terms for finance leadership

- Build and maintain recurring dashboards and reporting packages for leadership review
- Monitor performance trends and proactively flag risks and opportunities

- Identify the underlying business drivers behind performance trends and help quantify their financial impact
Budgeting and Forecasting
- Help roll forward and maintain complex financial models each month, updating them with the latest business drivers, actuals, and assumptions from topline through contribution margin
- Gather, organize, and validate underlying source data to support model updates and first-draft AOP/forecast outputs
- Contribute to upside and risk scenario modeling, incorporating channel-level growth assumptions, trends, and sales driver trajectories
Consolidated Reporting
- Own end-to-end production of weekly company-wide sales reporting for leadership
- Help the broader FP&A team ensure marketing inputs are properly reflected in total-company reporting and forecasts
- Other reporting and ad hoc requests as needed.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Serve as day-to-day finance support for Digital and Marketing teams
- Collaborate with broader FP&A team, Accounting, and Data/Analytics teams to align on data definitions, financial treatment, and reporting cadence

- Advanced Excel and Power Query skills; experience with BI/visualization/AI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker, Claude) preferred
- Experience with NetSuite a plus
- Demonstrated ability to work with large, complex data sets and distill them into clear, actionable insights

“Our love for dogs is truly the guide upon which we base our product and business.” - Shawn Buckley
It all starts with nutrition. The single most important element to a dog's life,(after he has found the love of his family) is his daily diet. The food you put in your dog's body, more than anything else, will determine his future health, happiness, energy level and perhaps even his vet bills. 100% of the ingredients we use to make JustFoodForDogs are certified for human consumption by the USDA. All of our dog recipes are cooked at minimum levels in our own kitchens in Newport Beach and West Hollywood, California. They are not a 'factory' or a 'plant' certified to make dog food but kitchens that have never seen the presence of even one 'feed quality' ingredient - ever. This method is much more hands on, it takes longer and costs more but it retains the nutritional value of the ingredients and in our view, makes JustFoodForDogs the best food in the world for your dog.
