Director, Strategy & FP&A

RTS is an enthusiast culture company that builds at the intersection of gaming, creators, and brands. From global live events to bespoke branded content, we exist to create meaningful connections between fans and the worlds they love. Our team brings deep expertise across partnership sales and marketing, talent management, event production, media, community building, and IP development.

RTS is seeking a Director of Strategy & FP&A to help shape and execute the company's strategic priorities while leading its financial planning and analysis function across its global esports, live events, media, e-commerce, and partnership businesses. Reporting directly to the CFO, this highly visible, hands‑on role will serve as a key strategic and financial thought partner to the CEO, Chairman of the Board, and senior leadership team on the company's most critical initiatives.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, finance, and operations, with responsibility for overseeing FP&A, including budgeting, forecasting, long‑range planning, financial and operational analysis, and management reporting. The Director will work closely with the CFO and business leaders to challenge assumptions, connect financial performance with strategic priorities, and translate complex financial, operational, and market data into clear, decision‑oriented insights and recommendations.

Strategy and FP&A will serve as the analytical foundation for one of the role's most important responsibilities: owning the end‑to‑end Board of Directors presentation process. This includes financial analysis, storyline development, executive synthesis, and final presentation development, ensuring that strategy, operating performance, financial outlook, key risks, and management priorities are presented as a cohesive narrative. The Director will also anticipate the Board's questions and ensure management is prepared with the analysis and context needed to address them.

This role is ideally suited for someone with experience in management consulting, strategic finance, FP&A, or corporate strategy who combines structured, data‑driven thinking with strong financial acumen and exceptional executive storytelling skills. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating both strategically and hands‑on, from reviewing and building financial models and analyses to developing Board‑level presentations and helping translate high‑level strategy into execution.
