Location: United States - Austin

At Digital Turbine, we make mobile advertising experiences more meaningful and rewarding for users, app publishers, and advertisers — intelligently connecting people in more ways, across more devices. We provide app publishers and advertisers with powerful ads and experiences that captivate consumers, fuel performance, and help telecoms and OEMs supercharge awareness, acquisition, and monetization. In a rapidly evolving industry, we are constantly innovating and creating better paths of discovery to connect consumers, publishers, and advertisers across the mobile ecosystem.

Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.

We are looking for a Lead Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to serve as the primary business focal for our Revenue and Gross Profit (GP) engine. Must be a high-impact finance professional who thrives at the intersection of strategic storytelling and complex data modeling. In this role, you aren’t just "running numbers"—you are the architect of our commercial narrative. You will bridge the gap between financial discipline and market-facing strategy, ensuring our leadership and external partners have a clear and precise view of where the business stands and where it is headed.

This is a high-visibility role where your work directly reaches the desks of our ELT. If you want to own the financial planning for the ODS business and play a pivotal role in how we show up for our clients, this role is for you.

The Impact You’ll Make

• Commercial Cadence: You will own the weekly Revenue and GP forecast, acting as the "Source of Truth" for the organization by interlocking with business leaders, and you’ll drive the cadence that keeps the organization aligned on the trajectory of the business. You won't just report on the business; you will influence its direction through "Call the Ball" alignment and weekly pacing tracking.

• Strategic Partner to External & Internal Stakeholders: While this is a finance-heavy role, you will be a key player in our external-facing communications.

• Building Complex Business Cases: Partnering with commercial leaders to model deal structures for external clients, ensuring our value propositions are both competitive and profitable.

• Commercial Insights: Preparing and reviewing actuals readouts with commercial leaders, providing the financial insights they need to effectively manage the business and present in MBRs.

• Global Revenue Dashboard: Ensuring our Global Revenue Dashboards are aligned and accurate, giving our executives and ELT confidence in our trajectory helping to drive business decisions.

• Annual Operating Plan (AOP): You will own revenue and GP planning for our ODS (on-device business), maintaining a rolling 12-month view (CQ+12) including defining structural changes to our planning systems (ePBCs) and interlocking with BI, Operations and Commercial teams. You’ll ensure our systems and models are accurate and robust to provide the level of granularity needed to drive the business forward.

About the Lead Analyst, FP&A

• Forecasting: Own the ODS Actual/Forecasting models for Revenue/GP, including complex elements like minimum guarantees (MGs) and Credits along with all rate and volume calculations.

• Executive Visibility: Lead the tie-out and review process for the CRO Deck and weekly ELT reporting, translating operational data into executive-level insights.

• Operational Synergy: Partner deeply with Operations and BI to align data efforts and automate reporting dashboards.

• Ad-Hoc Strategy: Dive into unique data requests and high-priority analysis that guide the business teams for critical asks.

About you as the Lead Analyst, FP&A

• 6+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, with demonstrated expertise in revenue and margin forecasting.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or Economics required; MBA or CPA a plus.

• Proven ability to partner with and influence senior executives and cross-functional commercial teams (Sales, Product, Operations)

• Advanced proficiency in financial modeling, budgeting, and long-range planning processes.

• Hands-on experience with enterprise financial systems such as Oracle & Tableau; strong Excel skills required.

• Strong understanding of P&L drivers, including revenue, cost of goods, and gross margin analysis.

• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills — able to translate complex financial data into clear, executive-ready insights.

• High degree of intellectual curiosity, business acumen, and the ability to operate with minimal direction in a fast-paced environment.

• Precision Modeler: You have an extensive understanding of Revenue and Margin reporting and can navigate complex datasets with ease with a high focus on accuracy and timeliness.

• A Collaborative Team Member: You enjoy working across Finance, BI, Operations, and Commercial teams to get everyone on the same page.

• Forward-Thinking: You don't just look at last week’s numbers; you are constantly refining the 12-month horizon and providing proactive insights -- not just reactionary.

• Business Curiosity: You understand that behind every spreadsheet is a client, a contract, and a commercial opportunity and want to understand both internal and external dynamics.
