Company mission
To manage change so software teams can innovate faster, empowering technology-driven organizations to do their best work – and making engineering teams more productive and innovative.
Role
Who you are
- We value curiosity, precision, and a builder mindset — and we’re excited to add a teammate who thrives in both the numbers and strategy
- You have 5–8+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or business analytics, ideally in a SaaS or tech environment
- You’re fluent in Excel/Sheets and skilled in building complex, multi-driver financial models
- You can write and optimize SQL queries to pull and analyze data from multiple sources
- You have hands-on experience with planning platforms like Pigment, Anaplan, or Adaptive
- You’ve worked closely with cross-functional partners across G&A, R&D, or COGS orgs
- You have a solid understanding of GAAP vs. Non-GAAP metrics and how they inform reporting and planning
- You’re detail-oriented, curious, and proactive in driving clarity and insight from data
- You enjoy building repeatable processes and tooling that scale with the business
What the job involves
- Join our Finance team as a Senior Financial Analyst driving strategic financial planning and analysis
- In this high-impact role, you'll own core planning processes, partner cross-functionally with R&D and G&A to guide investment decisions, and deliver financial insights that shape business strategy
- You'll leverage financial modeling, data analytics, and automation to drive better decision-making across the organization
- Our FP&A team partners with stakeholders across to provide financial insights that fuel smart growth
- We lead budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning processes, while also developing tools and frameworks that help leaders understand their performance and make confident investment decisions
- You'll own the end-to-end planning and forecast rhythms for the company — leading the annual plan, quarterly reforecasts, and monthly close/BvA reviews, while driving alignment between top-down targets and bottom-up business plans
- Build and maintain fully-linked financial models across P&L, balance sheet, cash, billings, and ACV metrics used by the CFO and executive team for decision-making
- Develop scenario and sensitivity frameworks (pricing, headcount pacing, gross margin levers, investment trade-offs) to support strategic choices by the CEO/CFO
- Serve as finance partner to R&D and G&A — reviewing spend, headcount plans, and vendor strategy; quantifying ROI and resource efficiency to shape budget allocation
- Drive COGS and unit economics understanding — including gross margin decomposition, cloud cost modeling, cost-to-serve analysis, and MAC/preferred-pricing strategy evaluation
- Collaborate with Engineering, Procurement, and Operations to identify and implement cost optimization initiatives that improve operating leverage
- Write and modify SQL queries to pull financial and product-usage data from Snowflake for self-serve analysis, data validation, and forecast integration
- Design planning structures and workflows in Pigment — building scalable modules, dashboards, and driver logic powering forecast submissions and executive views
- Automate recurring financial reporting — including executive readouts, operating reviews, and board-level materials — improving accuracy, speed, and consistency of insight delivery
Our take
Engineering has seen the rise of agile, containerisation and DevOps over the last few years. As a result, the idea of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has grown to be an important part of the engineering space. CircleCI is one company that taps into this field, offering a lightweight and open service.
There are now a lot more companies that have a culture of continuous delivery. CircleCI specifically helps automate all the steps that occur between the time developers make changes to the code and when the application gets in front of the customer. The company has a strong tailwind from this macro trend and their product is loved by engineers, putting them in a strong place to build a strong business.
Services in the sector have grown constricted and cost-heavy, but in 2022, CircleCI debuted a free tier service for engineering teams in a move away from this. By offering flexibility across an increased number of major platforms, including Docker, Windows, and MacOS, the company works towards its ultimate aim to empower technology-driven organisations.
