WHO ARE WE?
We are the VMS Co-Op, a group of fast growing companies in the Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements (VMS) space. The VMS Co-Op includes OLLY, SmartyPants and future acquisitions to come! This position's home company is OLLY.
We’re seeking a high-impact finance leader to consolidate and govern an $800M+ retail sales P&L across OLLY and SmartyPants. The Senior FP&A Manager owns the month, the forecast, and the story—harmonizing reporting and performance reviews across both OpCos, orchestrating the month-end close with Accounting, and elevating visibility and speed through automation and AI.
Functional business partners own and explain their line items; you own what rolls into the consolidated P&L and forecast. This role reports to the Senior Director, Head of Commercial & Strategy, VMS, and manages one FP&A Associate.
Monthly landing & forecast cadence: Run preclose risk/opportunity reviews, bridges, and executive narratives; deliver accurate rolling forecasts across Revenue → GM → UOP → Cash.
Month-end reporting & close orchestration: Own the close pack and co-lead “closing the books” with Accounting (cutoff, accruals, late-post governance) to produce timely, accurate P&L, balance sheet, and cash views.
Harmonized reporting & forums: Standardize KPI dictionary, deck templates, and forum cadence so both OpCos share the same look, feel, and process across performance reviews, QBRs (Wellbeing/Unilever), AOP, and 3YP.
Overheads ownership: Lead end-to-end Overheads planning, forecasting, bridges (rate/volume/one-offs), and spend governance with functional owners and HR, supported by the FP&A Associate.
Key member, S&OP: Serve as a critical member of OLLY and SmartyPants S&OP; responsible for cash-up, overlays, and input into Consensus S&OP.
Working capital leadership: Own WC forecast, actuals, and reporting (DSO/DIO/DPO, CCC/CTN, payables usage); align targets and narrative with the Wellbeing team and maintain actions log with accountable owners.
GMVA, price/volume & supply chain economics: Build and maintain GMVA frameworks to report underlying price, volume growth, and supply chain GMVA (PPV, yield, waste, freight, logistics, mix); ensure reconciliation to consolidated bridges.
Decision support & tooling: Deploy automated dashboards (e.g., Power BI) and AI-assisted analysis to reduce cycle time from data → insight → decision; govern a single source of truth for models, queries, and master data logic.
Planning (AOP & 3-Year Plan): Coordinate consolidated plans, assumptions, scenarios, and sensitivities with line-of-sight from functional plans to VMS P&L and cash; codify and monitor guardrails (price/mix/trade/BMI/COGS/OH/WC).
Team leadership: Coach, develop, and performance manage one FP&A Associate; raise the bar on clarity, speed, accuracy, and analytical rigor.
