As a newly public company, General Fusion is seeking a strategic, hands-on Manager, FP&A to help strengthen and scale our financial planning, reporting, and analysis capabilities.

The Manager, FP&A will lead financial reporting, forecasting, and budgeting across the organization, partnering with Commercial, Operations, department leaders, and Accounting to turn financial data into meaningful insights for management, the Board, and the investment community. This role will maintain the corporate forecast and cash runway, including the three-year corporate model and 10-year long-range forecast, while helping build a more robust and scalable FP&A function.
