Associate, Corporate Strategy & Finance in Denver, Colorado at Havenly, Inc.

Havenly is seeking an Associate to join our Strategy & Corporate Finance team to help drive long term growth for the business by providing actionable analysis and empowering stakeholders across the business to make data-driven decisions. The ideal candidate is not afraid to roll-up-their-sleeves to deliver measurable results. This individual will be responsible for developing and implementing business strategies, conducting financial analysis, and providing insights to senior management to support decision-making, including around acquisitions. We are looking for a teammate with a strong analytical mindset, exceptional problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate complex financial information effectively. Candidates should be customer and brand-focused and naturally curious about new ways to help grow our business and make our systems more efficient over time.

What You'll Do

• Solve problems across the entire business, not just finance—digging into marketing, site merchandising, product development, promotions, and inventory to surface insights and drive better decisions across all of our brands
• Work with an AI-first mindset, leveraging AI tools to work faster and smarter alongside traditional analytical methods. Excel proficiency is essential, but learning how AI can solve problems in new and exciting ways is part of the role
• Go beyond building Excel models and producing standard financial reports—success in this role means solving complex, often non-finance problems and thinking through the first-, second-, and third-order effects of decisions spanning marketing, inventory, accounts payable, and everything in between
• Support corporate development including mergers & acquisitions, capital raises, and partnerships including modeling, negotiation, and decision making
• Lead preparation of strategic financial reporting and conduct ongoing financial forecasting to provide management clear visibility into the company's financial performance and outlook
• Own special projects, analyses, and outcomes end-to-end with little to no direction or supervision, exercising sound judgment and strong decision-making to take ambiguous problems from question to recommendation
• Play a key role in our annual budgeting and forecasting process, collaborating across all departments and ensuring alignment with our corporate strategy
• Analyze financial and operational data across all of our brands to explain variance drivers and provide recommendations for improvement with a strong understanding of our strategic priorities for each business unit and overall corporate strategy
• Develop and keep various business analytics across functions including marketing, finance, operations and development KPIs, via sophisticated dashboards and performance tracking
• Summarize analytical results clearly and concisely to support recommendations and inform key decisions in resource allocations
• Continuously develop and innovate around both standard, ad-hoc reporting and analytics

Who You Are

• Demonstrated financial acumen and analytical experience delivering results-driven strategic recommendations, complex business modeling in excel, and creating meaningful analysis to drive key business decisions
• 3+ years of experience in Private Equity, Investment Banking, Strategy Consulting, or other strategic finance or corporate development roles
• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience, in business, management, or a related field; MBA preferred
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, highly organized, exceptional attention to detail, strong and proven project management capabilities and stakeholder relationship development, and able to manage competing priorities
• Comfort managing through ambiguity and working with limited data
• Prior experience in a new business or startup highly desired
• Advanced MS Excel user with experience building complex financial models and dashboards
• An innate sense of curiosity about different brands within the market, as well as trends in the market and AI
• Ability to thrive in an in-person work environment but also effective in collaborating across multiple teams located in multiple geographies
