Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is a rigorous analytical thinker who is equally comfortable building complex models from scratch and translating results into clear, compelling narratives for senior audiences
- You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and take pride in bringing structure and clarity to complex problems
- 10–12+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with meaningful time in SaaS or recurring revenue businesses
- 3+ years of people management or mentorship experience
- Prior experience in investment banking, private equity, or venture capital is strongly preferred
- Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, churn, LTV/CAC) and how they connect to financial statements
- Proven ability to build and maintain complex, driver-based financial models with limited guidance
- Strong executive communication skills — you can distill nuance into a clear narrative and present it confidently to senior leaders
- Experience supporting or directly contributing to board-level financial materials
- Exposure to M&A financial modeling or integration work
- Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets; experience with FP&A planning tools (Adaptive, Anaplan, Planful, or similar)
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-growth environments where priorities shift
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Finance Manager to join our Corporate FP&A team, reporting to the Senior Director of Corporate FP&A
- This role sits at the center of how we understand and communicate our business — owning the top-line revenue model, leading our long-range planning process, and partnering closely with executive leadership on board-level financial storytelling
- You will also serve as a key thought partner on M&A activity and drive continuous improvement across our Corporate FP&A team
- You will report to our Senior Director of Corporate FP&A., and ideal candidates reside on the West Coast
- Own and maintain the company's top-line revenue model, including ARR, billings, churn, and expansion drivers
- Serve as a deep subject matter expert on core SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, churn, expansion, LTV/CAC); go beyond reporting the numbers to understand and articulate what is driving results and what they mean for the business
- Lead the company-wide long-range planning (LRP) process, partnering with FP&A, strategy, and executive leadership to develop and maintain a flexible, multi-scenario financial model
- Drive alignment between LRP, annual operating plan, and rolling forecast assumptions
- Identify and surface key model sensitivities to help leadership prioritize investments and trade-offs
- Own reporting and deep-dive analysis across core SaaS and business performance metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, churn, expansion, pipeline, pricing, and product usage); go beyond the numbers to explain what's driving results and why it matters
- Partner cross-functionally with pricing, pipeline, and product teams to synthesize insights into cohesive narratives for senior leadership and board materials
- Partner with Corporate Development and FP&A leadership on M&A financial modeling, due diligence support, and integration planning
- Assist in building acquisition models and post-close integration tracking
- Manage and develop direct reports, including goal setting, prioritization, and individual development planning
- Contribute to the team strategy and lead improvement initiatives
- Set clear objectives, evaluate progress, coach, train, and instill a high performance culture with focus on teamwork, excellence and ownership for resolving issues
- Proactively identify and implement improvements to FP&A processes, systems, and reporting cadences to increase team efficiency and output quality
- Create a culture of inclusivity, recognizing the strengths that individuals bring to the team to promote engagement and development opportunities
- Other duties as assigned
Our take
With teams increasingly moving to remote work across many industries, companies have been reaching for tools to keep operations smooth and communications open. Founded in 2005, Smartsheet is a cloud-based work management platform helping a vast range of companies, from small businesses to large enterprises, plan, track, and report on work.
Like other team collaboration software companies, such as Lucid and Atlassian, Smartsheet saw strong growth in the early 2020s and achieved 17% year-on-year revenue increases through 2025. If the company can maintain this success, it stands to make real gains in a global team collaboration market expected to be worth about $20 billion by 2028.
Smartsheet has embedded itself across various industries, with deep integrations with applications from the likes of Salesforce, Atlassian, Google, and Microsoft, making it the first work management sector Unicorn to reach $1 billion in recurring annual revenue in 2024. Thanks to its successes, it was bought by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners for $8.4 billion in 2025 with an eye on further international scaling, leveraging the reach of its new parent companies.
