- We are looking for a Corporate Finance Manager to join our growing Finance team In this role, you will partner with the Director of Corporate Finance, VP of Finance on consolidations, opex, balance sheet and cash flow forecasting, internal business reviews, external board reporting, and ad hoc analyses
- Reporting to the Director of Corporate Finance, you will contribute to financial reporting delivered to executive leadership and other stakeholders including our board and investors
- This role requires a high degree of independent ownership, rigorous accuracy, and proactive communication — and a hands-on appetite for using AI to automate and improve how we work
- The role operates with meaningful autonomy: you frame problems yourself, build the mechanisms that keep budgets and forecasts honest, and bring recommendations rather than questions, often where no template or precedent exists yet
- Own the execution of our monthly, quarterly, and annual FP&A; processes, including the forecast calendar, key milestones, and long-term financial modeling, driving these cycles independently end to end
- Develop deep understanding of the Babylist business model and key levers in our business — build genuine business curiosity and fluency in how we make money, what drives growth and margin, and where the risks live. Use that understanding to deliver insights and commentary that connect the numbers to the underlying business, not just describe variances
- Contribute to executive and board of directors presentation materials on business performance and strategic business decisions — preparing analyses, drafting slides, and owning the accuracy of underlying data
- Prepare consolidated income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow models.



Analyze actual to expected performance with rigorous variance commentary grounded in data, not guesswork
- Ensure that our short, medium, and long range financial plans are built and delivered as part of a rigorous and collaborative process
- Own and improve the total company opex budgeting process (who requests, who approves, who loads, how it is documented) at the GL and department level, in partnership with department heads, Accounting, and the People team on headcount planning
- Build the inspection mechanisms (budget log, approval thresholds, plan-to-actual GL mapping) that hold budget owners accountable to plan
- Develop and maintain financial models, reports, and analysis to support key business decisions and strategic initiatives
- Perform ad-hoc reporting and analysis as required, proactively surfacing insights and risks to the Director of Corporate Finance, VP of Finance, CFO, and business partners
- Identify and implement AI-enabled automation across FP&A; workflows — actively experiment with AI tools to reduce manual effort on reporting, modeling, variance analysis, and deck production, and share learnings across the Finance team
- Improve and scale by developing repeatable processes, including standardizing and automating reports and implementing enhancements to planning and forecast systems




- Take pride in your work and operate with a strong accuracy and quality control mindset — building review checkpoints, reconciliations, and self-QC habits into every deliverable before it leaves your desk
