Role
Who you are
- Bring 10+ years of progressive finance experience including investment banking and 3+ years leading FP&A at a B2B SaaS company
- Have owned the full planning cycle end-to-end — plan, forecast, LRP — and partnered cross-functionally to drive execution
- Know SaaS unit economics cold (ARR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, payback) and how to operationalize them with GTM and Product
- Are an exceptional modeler and communicator — turning complex analysis into simple narratives and concrete recommendations
- Have advanced Excel / modeling chops; experience with NetSuite and a BI tool (e.g., Power BI or similar)
- Experience with planning tools is a plus
- Thrive in fast-moving, high-ownership environments where the bar is high and impact is tangible
- Bonus: exposure to IPO readiness, investor relations, diligence, or public-company-level reporting
What the job involves
- As Director, FP&A, you’ll lead the planning, forecasting, and decision-support muscle of the company — turning data into clarity, and clarity into action across every function
- Own the company planning rhythm: annual plan, quarterly forecasts, and long-range model — tying financial targets to operational levers and measurable outcomes
- Build and maintain dynamic models for growth scenarios, capital allocation, hiring plans, and unit economics; pressure-test assumptions and surface the “so what.”Be the financial storyteller for the business: synthesize performance into insights and recommendations for executives and the Board; craft clear, compelling materials for monthly/quarterly reviews and board meetings
- Partner with Sales, RevOps, Marketing, Product, and the CTO Office to align investments with pipeline, adoption, and retention — creating a common language for ARR, NRR, CAC, payback, and productivity
- Collaborate with Accounting to shorten close-to-insight cycles, improve forecast accuracy, and strengthen revenue recognition and expense accrual processes
- Co-own the revenue and demand attribution (data cube) with RevOps/Analytics to illuminate sources of growth and ROI across the funnel
- Stand up standardized KPI dashboards and variance analysis — delivering timely, actionable views of performance and leading indicators
- Drive process and systems excellence across FP&A (e.g., Adaptive Planning, NetSuite, Power BI or similar) to automate, scale, and improve data quality
- Build and mentor a high-performing FP&A team known for analytical rigor, speed, and pragmatism
- 30 Days: Deep grasp of our model, metrics, and data sources. Establish operating cadences with CFO, Accounting, and GTM leaders. Baseline forecast and reporting
- 60 Days: First forecast refresh and standardized monthly reporting live. Initial KPI dashboard (ARR, NRR, churn, CAC/payback) in place; common definitions adopted across functions
- 90 Days: Lead preparation of the Board package; implement variance analysis that ties results to drivers and actions. Close-to-insight timeline shortened and forecast accuracy improving
- 6 Months: FP&A is the operating system for planning and decisions: predictable forecasts, clear investment frameworks, and a shared view of growth levers across the company
