What the job involves
- At Airspace, the FP&A team is key to understanding the true health of the organization, enabling cross-functional collaboration, and driving the long-term strategic direction of the business! We’re looking for a flexible, highly capable, motivated individual to join the FP&A team and contribute to the company’s financial planning and reporting!
- This person will work extensively with the CFO & President and will contribute to the company's budgeting and financial planning, will build analyses to manage resources and strategic planning, and will build executive and board-level reporting. This person will collaborate frequently with the CEO, the other Executive Team members, and the head of global accounting to steward financial accountability and transparency across departments!
- This opportunity offers a broad scope of work ranging from ensuring smooth daily operations to spearheading cross-departmental initiatives to owning long-term forecasting to improving the overall financial health of the business!
- Voice of the Finance Team: Become a true partner with department heads alongside and on behalf of the CFO. This role offers opportunities to collaborate closely with executives across the board in resource planning, value optimization, etc. However, it requires a strong sense of leadership and fiduciary responsibility
- Understand the inner workings of the business: This role provides an incredible level of access; successful candidates will leverage that access and turn it into insights to discover and understand what drives the business forward, and help educate the rest of the company. This person acts as the watchtower for the business's financial health
- Technical solutions builder: In order to accurately and comprehensively identify, monitor, and solve issues & opportunities across the company, this person is expected to build & maintain innovative tooling that incorporates or builds upon existing financial outputs (e.g., models using Netsuite outputs to evaluate spending vs budget); Strong candidates will bring a clear understanding of market terminology, best practices, structures, etc., and will help upskill the broader organization
- Manage cross-functional projects: Much of the building and maintenance of these tools will require substantial cross-functional collaboration directly with department heads, the Finance team, and other ‘Problem Solvers’ across the company. The person in this position will need to engage and potentially lead productive, structured problem-solving, develop project plans with clear goals & target outcomes, and work to ensure smooth collaboration across internal teams
- Thought leader & problem solver: Ultimately, given the exposure to leadership and sensitive information, the expectation is that this person develops into a vocal leader of the business, able to proactively identify opportunities for value creation
Our take
The consumer market today expects high reliability, quick arrivals and tracking, and many delivery and logistics services haven’t always met these high standards. Airspace aims to mend this by replacing out-dated paperwork processes with a trusted delivery network that brings shipping and logistics into the twenty-first century.
Airspace’s combination of human experience and artificial intelligence allows it stand out amongst competitors. Predictive machine learning technology results in packages being delivered with more precision whilst being resilient to potential hiccups along the way, which has enabled the company to have an Amazon-like system for critical shipments for healthcare, manufacturing and aerospace markets.
Since its conception, Airspace has repeatedly seen major new funding, which has enabled tremendous growth, including international expansion. New capital will not only go towards accelerating its move into the European and Asian markets, but will allow the core business to be built out whilst launching new service lines.
