- Ability to translate complex analytics into clear executive narratives
- Experience designing or implementing multi-touch attribution models
- Experience supporting PE-backed or high-growth SaaS companies

What the job involves
- We are seeking an FP&A Manager to partner closely with Finance, Marketing, Sales Operations, and Product teams to drive data-backed decision-making across customer acquisition and growth
- This role is responsible for architecting scalable reporting and dashboards that clearly attribute marketing investment to pipeline creation, customer acquisition, and ARR
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning with a strong GTM lens
- Own acquisition-related financial models (CAC, cohort analysis, channel mix)
- Prepare analyses for Executive leadership (board materials, investor diligence)
- Continuously improve forecasting accuracy by incorporating funnel dynamics
- Build and maintain Looker models (LookML) or equivalent semantic layers in other BI tools
- Translate raw data into finance-grade metrics suitable for board and investor reporting
- Design and own executive dashboards monitoring that should be self-service and have early-warning indicators

Our take
Smartling leverages a network of professional translators and AI translation software to enable companies to connect locally with audiences anywhere, through any channel. Over the last few years, the company has emerged as a real market leader.
The appeal is obvious: since a company’s online presence is unlimited by geography, it shouldn’t be limited by language. The advantage of an offering like Smartling is that it doesn’t just loosely translate meaning like a browser would, but can also translate impact. As fast growth companies scale internationally and bring their brand message to new markets, this kind of service can prove crucial.
The roll call of customers is proof of the startup's success, with the likes of Shopify, Lyft, Tinder, Samsung, H&M, Mastercard, and plenty of others all taking advantage of its platform. Smartling has raised substantial funding and achieved a strong rate of growth which is still accelerating - all boding well for its future.
