Finance Manager ~ Stuffy Number Crunchers Need Not Apply
Job #: MODM-FMGNR
Expand your horizons in an opportunity far more interesting than your
typical, run-of-the-mill finance position. As a Finance Manager for
Publicis Modem in San Francisco, you will be responsible for the overall
financial operations of our regional clients. Beyond that, you will be
the on-the-ground expert supporting the general manager of this office,
so you will have the chance to learn the operational side of the
business from a strategic perspective. We are a dynamic, entrepreneurial
office with a growing list of growing clients, so there will be significant
potential for your day-to-day professional development as well as
long-term career growth.
Publicis Modem is a digital and direct marketing agency that works with
world-class companies across the globe in more than 40 countries. We
offer a range of integrated marketing services, including strategy and
planning; award winning creative design and execution; media research,
planning and buying; search marketing; online and offline direct
marketing; and technology enablement. Publicis Modem is part of the network
Publicis and a member of the Paris-based Publicis Groupe (NYSE:PUB).
As a Finance Manager, you will be based in San Francisco, near Pier 39
and Fisherman´s Wharf. You will be focused on the revenue side,
developing forecasts and budgets, reviewing monthly financials, projecting
cash flow, responding to client requests and reporting, and supervising
account billing and receivables for our region´s group of clients.
Proficiency with Excel, combined with the ability to quickly learn and
maximize technology such as PRISM or PeopleSoft, will enable you to
interpret, evaluate, and present financial data efficiently. Relationship
building skills are more important here than in other environments because
you will work closely with other internal teams such as marketing and
project management, as well as external customers like A/P and procurement
at client companies. Experience in a similar industry will prepare you
for the intricacies of financials unique to professional services. If
you can translate finance concepts to non-finance people and you´re
seeking the opportunity to interact more with others in a collaborative
environment, this could be an ideal next step for you.
