2K

2K is an American video game publisher founded in 2005 as a label of Take-Two Interactive, and it holds the sports and strategy franchises that sit alongside Rockstar's open-world titles in the group. Its portfolio includes the NBA 2K basketball series, the Civilization strategy franchise, Borderlands, BioShock, WWE 2K and PGA Tour 2K, developed across studios including Visual Concepts, Firaxis, Gearbox and Cloud Chamber. Headquartered in Novato, California, it depends heavily on annual sports releases and their in-game economies, which now generate more revenue than the games themselves.

Who We Are

At 2K, we create some of the most iconic and culture-shaping video games in entertainment, including NBA® 2K, one of the top-selling franchises in the world, and legendary titles like BioShock®Borderlands®MafiaSid Meier’s Civilization®, and XCOM®, as well as fan favorites WWE® 2KTopSpin®, and PGA TOUR® 2K. We build unforgettable experiences by pushing the boundaries of creativity, authenticity and innovation across every genre.

Our portfolio is brought to life by some of the most influential game development studios in the world. Visual Concepts, Firaxis Games, Hangar 13, Cat Daddy Games, 31st Union, Cloud Chamber, Gearbox, HB Studios,  and 2K SportsLab  create world-class experiences across platforms.

But what truly powers 2K is our people.

We believe the best ideas come from teams that feel empowered, supported, and inspired. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace where people are encouraged to come as they are  and do their best work.

What We Need

The Manager, FP&A serves as the critical financial bridge between the Studio, Publishing and other operational partners.

Rather than just reporting numbers, you will act as a Business Partner, working side-by-side with Studio Heads and Operational Partners. You will support 1-2 Studios and be responsible for ensuring that financial models reflect the unique "personality" and requirements of each business line while maintaining the rigor of our global financial standards. You will be comfortable in presenting findings and analysis to leaders, explaining narrative and drivers associated with variances to help influence business decision making. You will be comfortable operating with limited supervision, conferring with senior managers only on highly complex or unusual items outside the day-to-day.  

What You Will Do

  • Studio Business Partnership: Act as the primary financial point of contact for 1-2 Studio Leaders and Operational partners. Translate complex P&L data into actionable business narratives that help Studio Heads make informed decisions. You will operate with limited supervision, conferring with senior managers only where required
  • Communication: Present financial analysis to leadership with clarity and impact, clearly articulating key drivers and the “so-what” so as to influence business decision making
  • Collaborative Budgeting & Planning: Drive the Annual Operating Budget process by partnering deeply with Studio management. Ensure that resource assumptions and project plans are grounded in both studio reality and corporate financial targets.
  • Operational Decision Support: Provide Studio leadership decision modeling and scenario planning across lifetime P&Ls and initiatives, such as technology upgrades, studio expansions, or changes in staffing models.
  • Workforce & Capacity Consultation: Partner with HR and Studio leads to model resource utilization. Help leaders understand the financial impact of their talent strategy, including capitalization rates and "staff-up" vs. vendor-model scenarios.
  • Performance Insight: Identify and track KPIs that matter to the business units. Deliver monthly variance analysis that doesn't just explain the "what," but explains the "why" to the stakeholders who managed the spend.
  • Process Implementation: Use practical project management skills to implement financial workflows that integrate seamlessly with studio operations, minimizing friction for creative and technical teams.
  • Decision Authority: Exercises judgment within defined financial planning procedures to prioritize analyses and set assumptions for assigned studios; confers with senior leadership on decisions involving material forecast deviations or enterprise-level policy exceptions

Who We Think Will Be A Great Fit

  • Experience:   4 - 6+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, management consulting, or a business-facing finance role (preferably with Gaming or Entertainment industry experience)
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field; or equivalent practical knowledge gained through industry experience.
  • Mastery of Function: You have mastered all standard FP&A duties (forecasting, variance analysis, modeling) and have a strong grasp of the broad principles governing the gaming or creative services industry.
  • Business Savvy: Proven ability to "frame" financials for non-finance audiences, particularly creative or technical leadership.
  • Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel & PowerPoint is essential for building the models and presentations that drive business decisions.
  • Project Management: Practical knowledge of project management to lead cross-functional financial improvements across various business units.
  • Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills; ability to build trust with diverse stakeholders and navigate the unique cultural nuances of a studio environment.

As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to ensuring that qualified individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform their essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.  Please contact us if you need reasonable accommodation.

The pay range for this position in California at the start of employment is expected to be between $100,200.00 - $148,320.00 per Year.

Subject to those same considerations, the total compensation package for employees in regular roles may also include other elements, including a bonus and/or equity awards, in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, provided that temporary or intern roles will not be eligible for many of these payments or benefits. Details of participation in compensation and benefit plans (if applicable) will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment. If hired, employee will be in an "at-will position" and the company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation or benefit program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, company or individual department/team performance, and market factors.
