JOB DESCRIPTION:

Driven Brands' FP&A department is looking for a Driven FP&A Lead Analyst who wants to make a difference. Reporting to the Sr. Manager, FP&A, this role supports the primary day-to-day finance partner to our National Fleet business, with additional support for our e-commerce platform, DrivenAdvantage.com (DA.com), as well as our Procurement organization. Time is expected to be split between National Fleet, Procurement, and DA.com, with flexibility based on business priorities as determined by the Sr. Manager, FP&A. This is a high-ownership role for a self-managed finance professional who can drive insights and deliver results independently, exercising sound judgment and prioritization without continuous oversight.

How you'll Own it:

• Own the recurring National Fleet reporting cadence, including weekly sales and KPI reporting and monthly close P&L reviews with variance analysis versus budget, forecast, and prior year
• Own monthly forecasting, annual budgeting, and long-range planning for the National Fleet portfolio, including revenue build-ups, sales-mix analysis, FTE ramp and headcount expense modeling, and identification of risks and opportunities to outlook
• Support the DA.com business as the secondary finance partner — contributing to its monthly forecast, annual budget, and KPI reporting, and stepping in on ad-hoc DA.com analysis as needed
• Build and maintain dynamic, driver-based financial models and what-if scenarios to support pricing, sales-mix, fee-structure, and strategic-investment decisions
• Design and evolve KPI dashboards used by National Fleet and DA.com leadership to track daily, weekly, and monthly performance
• Serve as a trusted business partner to National Fleet leadership — translating operational activity into financial insight and proactively surfacing risks and opportunities
• Prepare and present monthly financial review decks, quarterly earnings materials, and executive one-pagers for senior leadership
• Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Procurement, Sales Ops, and other FP&A teams to compile results and reconcile performance drivers
• Translate business requirements into new reporting tools, and continuously look for ways to elevate existing processes rather than simply maintain them

What you'll Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field
• 5+ years of progressive FP&A or financial-analysis experience, ideally supporting a commercial, fleet, retail, or e-commerce P&L
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills, including experience building driver-based models from scratch
• Proven ability to work independently, anticipate business needs, and proactively address them with minimal supervision
• Demonstrated experience creating executive-level summaries and presenting to senior leadership
• Highly organized with the highest standards of accuracy and precision
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable navigating ambiguity and competing priorities
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to work well across functions and levels

Added Fuel if you have:

• FMVA or CFA certification
• Prior experience independently supporting a distinct product line, functional area, or commercial/fleet business
• Experience with headcount and FTE-ramp expense analysis
• Knowledge of planning technologies; Oracle EPM strongly preferred
• Prior project-leadership experience (formal people-management not required)
