Role Overview
Catalant is entering its next phase of growth—deepening enterprise partnerships, expanding its product platforms, and launching new productized services. We are seeking a strategic, analytical, and operationally minded VP of FP&A to help drive financial discipline, operational rigor and efficiency, and scalable decision-making across the company.
Reporting to the CFO, partnering closely with the CEO and leaders across Product, Sales, Operations, Talent, and Client Success, this role will lead the company's financial planning and analysis function while also collaborating with financial operations that improve performance, efficiency, and execution. This role will partner closely with the Chief of Staff to ensure financial priorities are tightly aligned with company-wide strategic initiatives and operating rhythms.
