Strategic Finance Manager, Corporate

175k – 210kUnited StatesFinance & AccountingRemote4+ YOE
Summary

Drive core financial workstreams including operating model, quarterly reforecast, cash flow forecast, and board reporting. Partner across Finance, Accounting, RevOps, and Data to build trusted metrics and support strategic decision-making.

About the role

What You'll Do

  • Maintain our rolling, driver-based operating model, keeping it accurate and decision-ready so leaders can trust the numbers in every planning conversation.
  • Drive the quarterly reforecast cycle end to end, running the calendar, inputs, and mechanics so each cycle lands on time and with clean outputs.
  • Help run our planning cycles, from the annual operating plan to headcount and workforce planning, working with People and team leaders to connect hiring decisions to budget and strategic priorities.
  • Run the monthly and quarterly operating rhythm, including budget-versus-actuals and variance analysis, and explain the "why" behind the numbers rather than just the what.
  • Strengthen the rigor and consistency of our SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR and GRR, magic number, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, burn multiple, and Rule of 40) so they are defensible and trusted.
  • Partner with Accounting, RevOps, and our Data team to build a single source of truth for our numbers and help accelerate the monthly close.
  • Prepare the analysis and supporting materials behind board and investor reporting, in close partnership with the Head of Strategic Finance and CFO.
  • Lead ad hoc strategic and scenario analysis that helps leaders across the company make faster, better-informed decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • 4 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, ideally including time at a high-growth software company.
  • Advanced financial modeling skills, including three-statement and driver-based operating models, cohort analysis, and scenario work.
  • Strong command of SaaS metrics and unit economics, such as ARR, NRR and GRR, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, magic number, and burn multiple.
  • Fluency working directly with data, including comfort writing SQL and navigating a modern warehouse and BI stack (for example Snowflake, dbt, and Looker or Omni).
  • Expert proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, with a high bar for accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Clear, concise communication, with the ability to translate complex analysis into a narrative that executives and the board can act on.
  • High ownership and low ego, comfortable driving workstreams independently in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
  • A first-principles mindset and strong business judgment, with genuine curiosity about how the business works.

Bonus If You Have

  • Experience scaling a finance function at a high-growth software company through rapid revenue growth.
  • Familiarity with AI or usage-based COGS and consumption economics, and how they affect gross margin.
  • Experience partnering directly with a GTM or product org to influence spend and resource-allocation decisions.

Compensation

  • Base salary only range for this position is $175,000−$210,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy.
  • We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.
