About the role: 
We're seeking an FP&A Analyst to serve as a critical financial partner driving revenue accounting accuracy and operating expense forecasting across Ott's Sales, Marketing, and R&D functions. In this role, you'll build rigorous financial models that inform strategic decisions, deliver timely variance analysis that leaders can act on, and play a meaningful role in Ott's finance evolution. This is an opportunity to deepen your FP&A expertise within a mission-driven global organization where your analytical contributions have direct business impact. 

You'll work closely with leaders across Sales, Marketing, and R&D — as well as the Finance Transition Lead — to align forecasts with business strategy and surface insights that influence resource allocation, investment decisions, and performance outcomes.

• Drive the Sales, Marketing, and R&D opex forecasting cycles, delivering variance-explained results to L1 leaders and the Finance Transition Lead on a timely and consistent basis. 

• Analyze actual versus plan performance across revenue and operating expense lines, identifying key risks, opportunities, and trends that support sound business decision-making. 

• Partner with L1 leaders in Sales, Marketing, and R&D as a dedicated financial advisor, translating complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights. 

• Build and maintain dashboards and financial reporting tools that enhance spend visibility, forecast transparency, and KPI tracking across functions. 

• Collaborate with accounting teams to validate cost accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and ensure financial integrity throughout the monthly close cycle. 

• Support annual budgeting and long-range strategic planning processes by coordinating functional-level inputs and delivering structured submissions to finance leadership. 

• Execute ad hoc financial analyses and scenario modeling that equip leaders to evaluate business initiatives, resource trade-offs, and investment priorities. 

• Implement continuous improvements to forecasting workflows, reporting tools, and analytical processes that increase efficiency, scalability, and forecast quality. 

What We're Looking For – Must have requirements: 
 

•  Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a closely related field 

• Experience in FP&A, financial analysis, or accounting, with demonstrated progression of responsibility over 3–5 years 

• Proven track record of managing opex forecasting, variance analysis, and monthly financial close activities in a cross-functional environment 

• Experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) to extract, validate, and report financial data 

• Experience with Power BI or a comparable data visualization platform to build dashboards, financial reports, and KPI tracking tools 

• Demonstrated ability to communicate financial insights clearly and influence decision-making when partnering with business leaders 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience supporting Sales, Marketing, or R&D business units as a dedicated finance business partner 

• Familiarity with revenue accounting principles and recognition standards (e.g., ASC 606 or equivalent) 

• Background in finance transformation, ERP migration, or process improvement initiatives
