About Wing:

About the Role:
Wing is looking for a Finance Manager to join our FP&A team. This role is hybrid based in Palo Alto, CA or remotely in the U.S. In this role, you will be the primary architect behind the sophisticated financial models that underpin our strategic growth, translating complex operational data into scalable frameworks for our unit economics and long-term planning. You will be a key partner to leadership, distilling deep insights into clear, actionable narratives that drive decision-making.
We are looking for a forward-thinking finance leader, who is as comfortable managing complex cross-functional projects as they are building models. The ideal candidate is a 'super-user' who is relentless about driving efficiency—constantly seeking out new AI and automation tools to elevate our workflows—and has a keen eye for detail, capable of turning intricate financial data into polished, board-ready presentations.
What You’ll Do
- Drive the annual budget and monthly forecasting cycles, ensuring accuracy and alignment with operational goals.
- Act as a core FP&A business partner by connecting the dots between unit economics and the budget, ensuring stakeholders understand the financial levers of the business.
- Manage month-end close processes, track key performance indicators (KPIs), and prepare clear, high-impact reporting for leadership.
- Perform ad-hoc analysis to unlock insights and help the business make data-driven, strategic decisions.
- Continuously optimize our reporting and planning frameworks to increase efficiency and predictive accuracy.
- Build and maintain sophisticated financial models (including unit economics and long-term planning) that serve as the foundation for our strategic decisions.
What You’ll Need
- 8+ years of progressive experience in Finance, with experience as a Finance Business Partner.
- Ability to leverage AI and automation tools with a relentless mindset for efficiency and continuous improvement.
- Proficiency in creating neat, insightful slides that simplify complex problems, while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
- Experience program managing cross-functional projects.
- Expert-level proficiency in financial modeling in Google Sheets. The ability to build flexible, intuitive, and scalable models from scratch is essential.
- Strong ability to synthesize large datasets into strategic insights and "board-ready" narratives.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field or equivalent experience.
