About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the full FP&A cycle — reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis — with narrative depth to help leadership understand what happened, why, and implications for next quarter.
  • Act as the company’s internal consulting bench — pick up ambiguous, cross-functional problems and run them from problem framing to decision to implementation.

  • Drive action using data for real-time decisions on staffing, pipeline performance, pricing, and resource allocation.
  • Connect dots across the company — surface insights spanning teams proactively.
  • Build with a systems mindset — evaluate tools, data infrastructure, and processes for scalability, integration, and impact.
  • Lead highest-stakes analytical work — unit economics, investment cases, new business models, and deep dives shaping company direction.
  • Serve as strategic thought partner to SVP of Finance — pressure-test assumptions, flag second-order impacts, and bring rigor to business decisions.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience spanning FP&A and Business Operations, ideally including investment banking, management consulting, or BizOps/Strategy & Operations at a scaling company.
  • Track record owning FP&A cycle end-to-end (reporting, budgeting, forecasting, board-level narrative) at a company with operational complexity.
  • Deep analytical rigor and experience running ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives from framing to decision.
  • Think in systems, communicate complex analysis clearly, bias toward operational action.
  • Experience in SaaS, legal tech, or marketplace businesses highly valued.
  • Familiarity with tools like Looker, dbt, or Snowflake.
