FP&A Director

Curri is seeking an FP&A Director to build and own the company's financial planning and analysis function from the ground up. Right now finance bandwidth is stretched, and this role adds dedicated FP&A leadership to own forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, and board reporting, freeing the CFO and VP Finance to focus on strategy. You will inherit a functioning but underbuilt finance function and make it meaningfully better: faster reporting, cleaner models, and significantly less manual work, deploying modern tooling and AI to get there. You will act as the primary architect of our financial planning systems, ensuring rigor and scalability. You will translate complex financial data into clear narratives that drive executive action and alignment. This position requires a leader who thrives in building processes where none exist previously. You will be instrumental in establishing the financial discipline that supports our rapid growth. Your work will directly influence how efficiently the company allocates capital and measures success.
