📋 Description

• Serve as the principal FP&A partner to the Chief Financial Officer; build, run, and continuously evolve the annual operating plan, quarterly reforecast cycles, monthly close commentary, and the multi-year long-range plan. • Act as a true business partner to the executive team, translating operational ambition into financial commitments and translating financial constraints into operational priorities. • Drive deep, repeatable analytics around price/mix/traffic, labor productivity, food and paper, four-wall margin, AUV ramp curves, cohort performance, and channel profitability, surfacing the insights that drive same-Shack sales and margin expansion. • Lead the Strategy & Enterprise Planning function; develop the multi-year financial framework that connects strategy, capital plan, P&L outlook, and shareholder expectations, including scenario, sensitivity, and risk-adjusted views. • Partner closely with the head of Investor Relations to develop the financial narrative for earnings, guidance setting, Investor Day, and Board materials; ensure FP&A produces decision-ready analyses for every quarterly cycle and major external event. • Build a best-in-class FP&A organization, creating the bench of next-generation finance leaders; act as career sponsor and coach, and ensure thoughtful coverage planning during team transitions and leaves. • Continually upgrade planning systems, reporting cadences, and the financial data model; champion modern tooling (Workday, Workday Adaptive Planning, Tableau, Snowflake) and embed a single financial language across the enterprise. • Partner closely with Controllership, Treasury, Tax, and Investor Relations to ensure FP&A outputs are auditable, defensible, and consistent with external disclosures and capital structure decisions, without owning those functions. • Model and reinforce Shake Shack’s values and Enlightened Hospitality in every interaction; bring high standards, optimism, and a bias toward action to a publicly traded, growth-oriented business.
