Who We Are

Great Minds is a high-growth, mission-driven organization founded by educators in 2007. As a for-profit, Public Benefit Corporation, we believe all students deserve access to meaningful, challenging content—and all teachers deserve tools that are intuitive, effective, and built for the realities of today’s classrooms.

We develop high-quality, knowledge-rich math, science and ELA curricula grounded in research and designed in collaboration with educators. Our materials reflect real classroom needs and are built to drive lasting student outcomes.

We are committed to usability, coherence, and practical implementation—supporting teachers not just through curriculum, but with professional learning, purposeful technology, and responsive service that enable strong adoption and impact.

What We Build

Our products—Eureka Math and Eureka Math², Wit & Wisdom, PhD Science, Geodes, and the newly launched Arts & Letters ELA—are trusted by thousands of schools and districts nationwide.

  • Eureka Math is the most widely used math curriculum in the U.S., and is focused on balancing conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application.

  • Wit & Wisdom® and Arts & Letters ELA™ anchor our reading strategy with content-rich, grade-level instruction that integrates literature, history, and the arts, grounded in the science of reading. Geodes® complements our reading suite with decodable texts that pair phonics with meaningful content to support early literacy.

  • PhD Science is a hands-on K-5 Science program that sparks curiosity as students build enduring knowledge of how the scientific world works.

These programs reflect a shared belief in high expectations, joyful rigor, and deep respect for educators and students.

Where We’re Headed

Great Minds is entering a new stage of growth and product maturity. We are focused on building more connected, customer-informed experiences across the full educator journey—from curriculum to professional learning to platform and support.

Our long-term vision is to become a true partner in impact—not just delivering curriculum, but supporting educators in achieving outcomes at scale.


Job Purpose

We’re looking for a Lead Financial Analyst to take point on high-impact financial analysis and modeling that informs decision-making across the business. This role sits within our FP&A team and is ideal for someone who thrives on turning complex financial data into insights, driving business performance, and building scalable models.

You’ll own the development of balance sheet forecasts, scenario planning, and executive-ready dashboards that help us see around corners. You’ll also be a key partner to our Finance and cross-functional teams, ensuring we’re leveraging the full power of tools like PowerBI, Adaptive Planning and other modeling tools.


Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain detailed financial models, especially balance sheet and cash flow forecasts.

  • Lead the development of forecasting and planning processes that scale with the business.

  • Own and evolve dashboards and reporting tools in PowerBI, with strong use of PowerQuery and PowerPivot.

  • Plays pivotal role in the development, automation, and scalability of key reports, presentations, and analyses to support external stakeholders and Board reporting

  • Advanced Excel skills; confident in PowerQuery, PowerPivot, and DAX formulas.
