What the job involves
- This is a hybrid role based in the San Francisco Bay Area or New York City. Mixpanel is seeking a high-impact Strategic Finance Associate to serve as a domain owner within our Financial Planning and Analysis team
- This role is a trusted advisor to functional leaders across the business, owning the end-to-end financial planning process for a major domain and driving the analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions
- A successful candidate will bring deep FP&A expertise, strong business partnership instincts, and the ability to design scalable planning processes—not just execute within them
- The FP&A team enables Mixpanel's ongoing financial success. Doing so means creating visibility into our financial outcomes by running and improving tight financial reporting processes with all members of executive leadership. It means using these processes coupled with analytical prowess and strong communication skills to deliver keen insights upon which strategic decisions will be made
- It means identifying key trends to support these decisions with constantly improving financial models. Through this, the FP&A team guides the company through financial hurdles, fuels growth opportunities, and ultimately drives long-term success
- Own the end-to-end financial planning process for G&A teams — 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
Our take
Understanding customer behaviour is a vital part of any business. Mixpanel allows companies to answer detailed questions about their customers' behaviour over web and mobile applications. Google has struggled to modernise its somewhat clunky analytics platform in recent years, allowing Mixpanel to become an industry leader in the space.
Technology VC firm Sequoia Capital has backed the company, demonstrating its significant growth potential. Mixpanel CEO Max Levchin was also a previous co-founder of Paypal, which may have helped the company facilitate a tie-up with Paypal-owned Venmo early on. Mixpanel now serves thousands of companies from different industries around the world, including Expedia, Uber, Ancestry, DocuSign, and Lemonade.
The company serves 7,700+ customers across its seven global offices. In line with its global expansion efforts, the company has aimed to enhance localized data, helping its clients tailor their offerings to customers in the right way and at precisely the right time. Mixpanel has also focused on expanding its integrations, being available on more platforms such as Google Cloud Marketplace.
