FP&A Lead

The posting, as Osmo wrote it

WHO WE ARE AT OSMO

Osmo is the Olfactory Intelligence company, on a mission to give AI a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell has the ability to delight us, protect us, and heal us.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone.

We're headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ, with an additional office in Somerville, MA. We provide complimentary shuttle service from Brooklyn and Newark, NJ.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Osmo's finance function is still being built, and that's the opportunity. The Office of the CFO needs a partner who can bring financial rigor to a company moving fast, keep the organization running day to day, and give department leaders a counterpart they can trust with real decisions — not someone who waits to be handed a finished process.

This role owns the full range of FP&A work: modeling, budgeting, reporting, and business partnership across the company. You'll be trusted with real ownership from day one, and the tenacity to chase down a broken process until it's actually fixed, the curiosity to ask why a number looks the way it does instead of just reporting it, and the kindness to make that pressure feel like partnership to the people you work with, will matter as much as the technical skill.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the Corporate Model — Maintain, extend, and defend the long-range P&L, cash forecast, and scenario analyses that anchor company decisions, including one-off models for calls like make-vs-buy, pricing, headcount ROI, and capital allocation.
• Run Department Budgeting — Build and maintain department-level budgets, track actuals vs. plan monthly, and own the variance narrative — not just reporting the gap, but working with the business leader to explain why it happened and what it means.
• Partner on Close — Support month-end close with the Controller and own the financial reporting deliverables and management reporting package that come out of it.
• Support the Board and Investors — Prepare board- and investor-facing materials: slides, data room exhibits, ad hoc analyses, and due diligence support during active fundraising.
• Build the Data Infrastructure — Design and maintain the pipeline connecting business systems to the corporate model, automating the manual bridges that exist today rather than living with them.
• Automate the Recurring Work — Build and maintain automations for reporting, reconciliation, variance alerts, and close checklists — curiosity applied to the question of what shouldn't require a human every month.
• Apply Real AI Judgment — Evaluate new AI tools with genuine curiosity, and the discipline to know what's worth building, what's worth buying, and what's not worth the distraction.
• Be Finance's Front Door — Serve as the prim
