MarginEdge is seeking a highly analytical, business-minded Senior Manager of FP&A to build and lead our financial planning & analysis function. This is a unique opportunity for a strong FP&A leader to own the entire function, partner directly with executive leadership, and shape how financial insights drive decision-making across the company.

While this is currently a mid-management role, it has a clear path to grow into a Director-level position as the company scales.

Our environment is fast-moving and dynamic — priorities evolve, strategies pivot, and we move quickly to respond to opportunities in the market. The right candidate will bring both financial rigor and the flexibility to operate effectively amid change, helping leadership make smart decisions even when the path isn’t perfectly linear.

This role reports directly to the CFO and will work closely with every executive and VP to provide strategic insight into the financial performance of their departments.

MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology

As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back-office tasks off their plates, while empowering them with real-time data.

Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 11,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.

We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.

We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.
