As LVT scales toward our next phase of growth, we’re adding a Lead Financial Analyst to our FP&A team, a senior individual contributor role built for someone who wants to own R&D finance end to end. You’ll bring predictability to how we budget, forecast, and evaluate return on our R&D and product development spend, and you’ll become the embedded finance partner our Engineering and Product leaders turn to first.
