Leadership
Punt is a fast-growing technology company behind a portfolio of market-leading digital entertainment products. We operate at high velocity across multiple product verticals — and we're scaling fast. Our finance function is being built for the long term, and this role sits at the center of that effort.
This role is based out of our Vancouver, BC office on a hybrid basis.
ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking for a Head of FP&A to own the financial planning and analysis function at Punt. This is a high-impact individual contributor role reporting directly to the VP, Finance. You will be the architect of our financial forecast model, the analytical engine behind our business decisions, and a trusted partner to leadership across the company.
As we expand across product verticals and build out new capabilities, the complexity and strategic importance of FP&A grows with us. This role is an opportunity to build something — a rigorous, data-driven planning function that directly shapes how Punt allocates capital, evaluates opportunities, and pursues growth.
This is not a reporting role. It is a thinking and building role — one that requires commercial judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to translate complex data into clear decisions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own and continuously improve the consolidated financial forecast model across all of Punt's product lines
Build and maintain cohort-based revenue models, retention curve assumptions, and multi-product contribution frameworks
Lead the annual budgeting process and manage rolling re-forecasts in partnership with the Controller and VP, Finance
Partner with the Controller and VP, Finance on Punt's ERP implementation — defining FP&A data requirements, informing system design, and maintaining forecast integrity through the transition period
Variance Analysis & Reporting
Produce a monthly FP&A package for leadership: actuals vs. forecast bridge, key driver analysis, and forward narrative
Partner with the Controller on the close process to ensure actuals are structured to support meaningful variance analysis
Identify anomalies, trends, and risks in financial performance and surface them proactively
Build scenario and sensitivity models to support strategic decisions — new product launches, market expansion, partnership economics, and capital allocation
Analyze revenue and profit opportunities across the business, including funnel efficiency, monetization levers, and cost structure
Provide financial framing for major initiatives and help leadership understand the trade-offs
Data & Dashboard Architecture
Collaborate with data analysts and analytics teams to design and maintain financial dashboards and reporting infrastructure
Work to reduce reliance on manual exports by connecting the FP&A layer to live data sources over time
Define and own the KPIs and metrics that drive the FP&A function
Business Partnering
Serve as the finance partner for marketing, product, and operations — helping teams understand the economics of their decisions
Translate financial insights into language that resonates with non-finance stakeholders
Proactively identify profit and revenue opportunities through analysis and close collaboration with business leaders
QUALIFICATIONS
6+ years of progressive FP&A or finance experience, with meaningful time in a senior individual contributor or function-owning role
Exceptional financial modeling skills — you build models that are accurate, flexible, and built to last
Demonstrated experience with cohort-based economics — LTV modeling, retention curve analysis, FTD cohort tracking, and translating player-level data into forward-looking financial projections
Experience in B2C digital businesses such as iGaming, gaming, fintech, or consumer technology strongly preferred
Demonstrated ability to operate independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment — you define your own workplan, set your own standards, and deliver without a defined playbook
Demonstrated ability to work with large, complex data sets and collaborate with data or engineering teams on reporting infrastructure
Strong business partnering instincts — you are comfortable in the room with senior leaders and able to influence decisions with data
Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or similar) is a strong asset
CPA or MBA is an asset but not required — we care about what you can do, not just your credentials
WHY PUNT
Rare opportunity to own the FP&A function at a high-growth, multi-product digital entertainment company
Direct partnership with the VP, Finance and exposure to senior leadership across the business
A fast-moving, intellectually stimulating environment where your work visibly shapes decisions
Expanding product portfolio and long-term growth runway
Flexible, high-autonomy culture with competitive compensation ($130,000 – $150,000 CAD base plus bonus)
