Job Description

• Own monthly revenue forecasting across campuses, brands, and programs using key operational drivers including starts, re-entries, drops, graduations, tuition yield, and fee assumptions. • Build and maintain driver-based forecast models that tie student population assumptions directly to revenue and profitability outcomes. • Support annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, and long-range planning with scenario analysis and sensitivity modeling. • Develop and manage recurring executive scorecards, KPI tracking, and forecast variance reporting for the CFO and FP&A team. • Own the student population dashboard, tracking beginning population, new starts, drops, graduates, ending population, and forecast versus actual trends. • Partner with Finance and Operations to maintain a monthly student waterfall and validate enrollment and retention assumptions. • Define and document forecasting logic, metric definitions, and reporting governance to ensure consistency and transparency. • Reconcile forecast outputs to source systems and identify anomalies or inconsistencies in reporting. • Write and manage SQL queries to join, validate, and reconcile data across systems. • Partner with BI/Data teams to resolve data quality issues and improve reporting accuracy. • Maintain and enhance executive dashboards in Tableau, Power BI, or similar BI tools. • Produce actionable analysis on revenue performance, conversion, retention, and unit economics to inform capital allocation and operating decisions. • Conduct root-cause variance analysis and trend evaluation for executive leadership. • Translate complex financial and operational insights into concise executive-ready materials, including dashboards, one-pagers, and presentation decks. • Establish repeatable reporting cadence and governance processes to support forecast updates and KPI reviews.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Business Intelligence, or a similar analytical role supporting senior finance leadership.
  • Strong experience with revenue forecasting and driver-based financial models that translate operating metrics into P&L impact.
  • Experience building monthly forecast frameworks in multi-site, high-volume, or education-adjacent environments preferred.
  • Advanced Excel skills, including financial modeling, scenario analysis, and model quality control.
  • Advanced Tableau, Power BI, or comparable BI tool experience for executive dashboards and recurring scorecards.
  • Strong SQL skills for querying, joining, validating, and reconciling data across multiple systems. Experience with cloud warehouses (Snowflake or similar) preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain student population, enrollment, or waterfall-style reporting.
  • Strong understanding of core FP&A processes including annual budget, rolling forecast, variance analysis, and management reporting.
  • Ability to manage sensitive financial and student data with discretion and sound judgment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present insights clearly to executive and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, SharePoint, Teams). Familiarity with SIS/CRM/LMS data structures is a plus.
  • Ability and willingness to occasionally work outside standard business hours for critical deadlines.
