Role
Who you are
- 5–8+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or related roles within high-growth SaaS or tech environments
- Advanced-level experience building and maintaining multi-dimensional financial models—and strong intuition for translating business strategy into numbers
- Ability to partner with executives and cross-functional teams with clarity, confidence, and strong business acumen
- Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, break down complex problems, and develop structured, data-driven recommendations
- Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, CAC, payback, pipeline coverage, churn/retention dynamics, etc.)
- Strong analytical rigor with the ability to interpret complex data sets and convert insights into compelling narratives
- High ownership mindset—comfortable leading initiatives, anticipating stakeholder needs, and operating with minimal direction
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to tailor messaging for senior leadership, cross-functional partners, and non-financial audiences
What the job involves
- Our Finance team is small, mighty, and deeply embedded in shaping Honeycomb’s next stage of growth
- As a Principal Financial Analyst, you’ll operate as a strategic partner across GTM, R&D, and G&A—diving into complex forecasting, strategic modeling, and supporting leadership with insights that drive high-quality decisions
- You’ll influence how we plan, invest, and scale, working in a fast-moving environment where your analysis directly impacts our revenue trajectory, operational performance, and long-term planning
- This role isn’t about maintaining models—it’s about helping steer the business
- Build, refine, and own complex financial models that support forecasting, scenario planning, resource allocation, and strategic decision-making across the company
- Partner closely with GTM, R&D, People, and Finance leadership to translate business strategies into actionable financial insights and operational recommendations
- Conduct deep-dive analyses into revenue performance, unit economics, cohort behavior, pipeline trends, and cost structures to surface meaningful drivers and levers
- Lead monthly/quarterly forecasting cycles—synthesizing data, identifying variances, and shaping insights for exec-level reporting
- Develop and maintain dashboards, reporting mechanisms, and data views that ensure leaders have clear visibility into performance and trends
- Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders by proactively identifying risks, opportunities, and signals that shape our planning and investment roadmap
- Drive continuous improvement across Finance processes, modeling standards, and reporting frameworks to increase accuracy, clarity, and speed
- Support board-level materials, long-range planning, annual budgeting, and cross-functional planning initiatives
Our take
Traditional processes of debugging apps and IT services are becoming obsolete due to the mass adoption of cloud-based tools. However, whilst cloud-based development presents a modern and unified solution to application building, frameworks for troubleshooting such services are not something all businesses are prepared for.
Honeycomb provides troubleshooting tools that allow cloud-based software developers to observe code on API tools, live applications and microservices. The troubleshooting dashboard is designed to be highly visual and user-friendly, allowing developers to diagnose cloud-based problems without having a deep understanding of computer science.
The company is building momentum after impressive revenue growth and a robust amount of funding. This is being channelled into geographical expansion and the development of its offerings. In 2025, Honeycomb signed a three-year strategic collaboration agreement with AWS and launched several new product advancements.
