Senior Financial Planning & Analysis Partner (FP&A) - Product & Growth

Role Overview

As the first dedicated FP&A hire at RTS, you will have the opportunity to help build the FP&A function from the ground up. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own and develop the company's financial planning, forecasting, and management reporting processes across RTS and Evo's global esports, live events, media, e-commerce, and partnership businesses.
