You will own the company’s financial planning engine end-to-end and operate as a deeply embedded partner to leaders across the company.

This is a role for a steady, proactive operator who sees around corners and brings clarity to complex decisions.

Lead all end-to-end planning cycles (annual operating plan, monthly rolling forecasts, long-range plan), from creating the process to building templates through executive review and Board approval.
Own the monthly business review to diagnose financial health of the business (budget vs actual analysis, variance drivers, and forward-looking implications).
Build capital allocation and investment frameworks to build business cases for growth initiatives, evaluate experiments, and tradeoffs with financial discipline.
Build unit economics, cohort, and scenario analysis to identify optimization opportunities and inform strategic decisions.
Partner with GTM, Data, and RevOps on revenue and pipeline forecasting; proactively identify risks and opportunities to achieving company targets.
Prepare clear, investor-ready narratives that connect financial performance, operating drivers, and forward-looking strategy.
Manage one Finance Business Partner.

Requirements

8+ years of experience across corporate finance, FP&A, strategic finance, or related roles, including at least 5 years in corporate/strategic finance at a high-growth B2B technology or SaaS company.
2+ years of people management experience, building and leading high-performing teams.
Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; experience with modern FP&A tools.
Exceptional storyteller, capable of distilling complex analyses into strategic insights for executive and board audiences with clarity and precision; ability to influence across all levels without direct authority.
A collaborative, proactive, curious, and growth mindset with a passion for problem solving and driving impact.
Systems thinker who connects financial drivers to business strategy.
