Role
Who you are
- If you're looking for a high-impact role with broad exposure across the business, this is it
- You have 6-8+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or a related analytical role, ideally at a product-led or self-serve SaaS company
- You deeply understand the dynamics of a self-serve business: churn, contraction, expansion, net new revenue, and the full funnel from visitor to signup to paid conversion to upgrade
- You're proficient in SQL and comfortable pulling and manipulating data yourself rather than waiting on a BI team or data analyst to get you what you need. SQL is a requirement for this role
- You've operated effectively in environments where ownership is distributed. You know how to build relationships and drive alignment across product, marketing, engineering, and finance
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building something from scratch, new processes, new analyses, new ways of looking at the business
- You're a strong communicator who can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for both finance leadership and cross-functional business partners
- You have good judgment and a bias toward surfacing issues and opportunities proactively, not waiting to be asked
- You use AI in your work today — not occasionally, but as part of how you operate at a high level. You can point to workflows you’ve built, how your approach has evolved through iteration, and the impact on quality, efficiency, and experience — while intentionally applying AI for the right outcomes, setting a high bar for outputs, and taking ownership of what ships
- We encourage you to apply even if your skills and experiences don’t exactly match the job description
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Sr Strategic Finance Manager - Self Serve and New Products to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Zapier's self-serve and new products businesses
- This is a unique opportunity to drive top-line forecasting, planning, and analysis for one of the most important parts of our business
- You’ll report to the Head of Strategic Finance and partner closely with product, marketing, and finance leadership
- You’ll own revenue models, build analytical infrastructure, and drive insights that give you exposure to the executive team
- Serve as the dedicated finance partner for Zapier's self-serve business, working across the Chief Product Officer, SVP of Marketing, and CFO to bring a unified financial perspective to a business that spans multiple functions
- Build and own the forecasting, reporting, and analytical infrastructure for self-serve, this is largely net-new work, so you'll be defining what good looks like
- Analyze the self-serve funnel end-to-end: from top-of-funnel acquisition through activation, conversion, expansion, and retention. Identify where the business is leaking value and where the biggest opportunities are
- Own self-serve unit economics and provide perspective on key levers, pricing, packaging, churn reduction, and growth investments
- Use SQL and other tools to self-serve data and build analyses that drive decisions, rather than relying on pre-built reports
- Proactively surface trends, risks, and opportunities to senior leadership. Don't wait for someone to ask the question, be the person who sees the issue first
- Partner with product and engineering teams to understand how product changes impact financial outcomes, and bring a financial lens to product investment decisions

Our take
Even before remote working became the "in thing", freelancers, small business owners, and large organisations have found themselves needing more and more software platforms to serve their operational needs. As people used more software services, Zapier founders saw the need to connect the actions between these software and save everyone some time.
Zapier is the largest integration and automation tool for businesses. Since its founding, Zapier has grown its suite of automation offerings across almost every mainstream software service. The company is one of the most successful to come out of Y Combinator and has also been a pioneer of remote working.
Zapier has so far been able to capitalise heavily on its advantage as one of the first entrants and has had very little actual competition. Software services aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and organisations are only going to need more of them. This puts Zapier in a strong position for growth, but also opens up room for bolder companies to get in on the action. Companies like Airtable and Integromat are already preying on more niche segments of Zapier's market share.

Additional info
- As a fully remote company with 800+ team members across 40+ states, 38 countries, and 18+ timezones, we’ve adopted a culture of asynchronous work. This work style allows teams to collaborate effectively across locations, time zones, skills, and each individual’s energy levels, and empowers employees to work in a setting that fits their needs. In practice, we live on Slack, with most conversations in public channels. It mimics the open-office feel and allows everyone to search the chat logs if they need to find something that happened when they weren’t around
