Director, FP&A - QuillBot

Course Hero Inc is scaling, and so is our Finance team! Over the past 15 months, we have executed 4 M&A transactions and raised nearly $400m in Series C funding, valuing the company at $3.6B and accelerating our already impressive track record of responsible growth and sustained profitability. Now, we are looking for a Finance Director to partner with our exciting business vertical QuillBot’s leadership team to develop and execute all things FP&A (reporting, forecasting, planning/budgeting, investment decision-making, ad-hoc support). As the dedicated finance partner to executive-level management, you’ll be empowered to not only provide FP&A support, but also act as a "mini-CFO" to this high-potential, high-growth, international business. In addition to very senior level functional expertise in FP&A, the ideal candidate has proven themselves to be a trusted business partner to their stakeholders, exhibiting indispensable thought leadership and influence. This role is a direct report to the VP Finance and will be a valued member of the finance leadership team.

While we are a hyper-growth tech company, we are also mission-driven and strive to create an environment where our team members can be their authentic selves, do their best work, and help us realize our vision - a world where every student graduates, confident and prepared. Come join us!

Here are some ways you’ll make an impact: 

• Build and lead partnership between the FP&A function & Quillbot leadership. Act as a key member of the Quillbot GM’s staff in support of all business decisions
• Drive the writing vertical’s annual budget process and implement a more robust quarterly update process. Own monthly financial reporting and budget tracking
• Work closely with management on ad hoc projects to provide in-depth business case analysis and intuitive reporting to drive intelligent decision making
• Define and monitor key performance indicators, highlighting trends and analyzing causes of changes
• Identify cost savings opportunities and aid in purchasing decisions
• Own finance integration for potential future new businesses in the writing space, including but not limited to educating the new teams on finance processes, systems and concepts
