At Leatherman, we believe that with the right tools in hand, people can achieve extraordinary things. For over 40 years, we've been designing and manufacturing innovative products trusted by adventurers, tradespeople, first responders, military personnel, and everyday problem-solvers around the world.

We're looking for a curious, analytical, and technology-minded FP&A Analyst who wants to do more than report numbers. This role is an opportunity to influence business decisions, improve processes, leverage AI, and partner with leaders across a globally recognized manufacturing company.
