About the job
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end financial planning process for a major domain GTM — from brief to delivery — setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms that others follow.
- Define the 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators.
- Build business cases for major investments with clear assumptions, risk quantification, and second-order effects — giving leadership the analytical foundation to make high-confidence decisions.
- Design and improve planning processes, tooling, and data definitions that reduce rework across teams and raise the quality of financial outputs org-wide.
- Lead cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and crisp financial narratives tailored to each audience.
- Partner with functional budget owners to ensure data quality, metric consistency, and alignment on assumptions — acting as a cultural anchor for data-driven decision-making.
Requirements
- 5–8 years of FP&A or Strategic Finance experience, ideally in high-growth SaaS; demonstrated ownership of a planning domain end-to-end

- Deep expertise across GTM; experience partnering with senior functional leaders on budget strategy and investment decisions

- Excellent communication skills — can distill complex financial analysis into crisp narratives tailored to exec audiences
- BS/BA in Economics, Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CFA a plus
