FP&A Lead / Business Finance Lead

Overview

Lead finance for Skillz's game-level P&L, partnership and distribution deal economics, and first finance coverage for the YayZ build, operating largely solo.

What you'll do

• Own game-level P&L, including the ~$5M annual developer-cost line.
• Review existing developer agreements against title-level performance for optimization or renegotiation opportunities.
• Own partnership and distribution deal economics: NPU from distribution, cost per NPU, D30/D360 ROAS.
• Stand up and run a deal-level IRR approval process for new partnership and distribution deals.
• Provide first finance coverage for the YayZ build, including early P&L and KPI reporting once a cadence exists.
• Track Arena content-sourcing retention and engagement economics with Cheyne Cole's team.
• Flag this seat's own support needs early, given no dedicated analyst is currently assigned.

What you'll need

• Vendor or developer-contract review fluency: able to read existing agreements, benchmark terms, and structure a renegotiation or optimization case.
• Deal-economics fluency: comfortable modeling NPU, cost-per-NPU, and multi-horizon ROAS for partnership deals.
• Able to stand up a net-new approval process (deal IRR) rather than just operate an existing one.
• Comfortable operating solo across four distinct threads (game-level P&L and developer cost, Partnerships, Distribution, YayZ) without dedicated analyst support.
• Build-stage mindset, comfortable establishing a finance function from zero for YayZ.
• 4+ years in FP&A, corporate development, or partnerships/deal finance.
• Direct experience with deal economics, IRR/ROI modeling, or partnership P&L analysis.
• Experience reviewing or negotiating developer, licensing, or vendor agreements, ideally with a cost-optimization mandate.
• Comfortable operating with US-based stakeholders across time zones.

Nice to have

• Gaming, media, or platform-business experience.
