This team operates as a true business partner across every function at Collibra; the work here doesn't end with a report, it ends with a decision. You'll report directly to the Director of FP&A and work alongside a team whose mission is to not just tell Collibra where it has been, but to help shape where it's going
- In this role, you'll be the dedicated finance partner to Collibra's R&D organization, owning the financial analysis behind product investment decisions, cloud hosting infrastructure, and product line performance reporting as Collibra continues to scale its product portfolio

- Serve as the day-to-day finance partner for R&D fielding budget questions, modeling one-off scenarios, and providing financial clarity for leadership decisions
- Build business case models for R&D investments, new product development, platform initiatives, and major capability builds including projected costs, revenue assumptions, and payback periods
- Model investment tradeoffs for R&D leadership and track actual performance of approved investments against their original business cases
- Support growth and profitability target-setting by modeling how R&D investment levels translate into product capability timelines and downstream revenue potential
- Own cloud hosting cost reporting and forecasting tracking actuals by product line against budget and maintaining a forward-looking model that reflects planned usage growth
- Identify optimization opportunities across the cloud portfolio idle resources, over-provisioned environments, and commitment vs. on-demand mix and partner with engineering on cost implications of architectural decisions
- Build and maintain a product-level P&L for key product lines covering ARR, recognized revenue, gross margin, and associated R&D and GTM investment
- Contribute product line P&L, ARR, and pipeline performance to executive and board-level reporting
- Within your first month, you will
- Have a working understanding of the R&D cost structure, cloud hosting landscape, and product familiarity
- Have met key stakeholders across R&D, Product, Sales, and Finance and and begun dialogue on reporting gaps and priorities
- Have taken ownership of at least one existing reporting segment and running it independently
- Within your third month, you will
- Own R&D financial reporting with actionable insights and analysis
- Build a cloud hosting unit economics model that tracks hosting cost across the portfolio - enabling real-time assessment of rate or volume spikes, product-level profitability visibility and optimization conversations with engineering
- Product-level ARR and pipeline reports are being analyzed on regular cadence for insights tying back to product investments being made
- Within your sixth month, you will
- Contribute financial analysis that directly informs R&D investment or prioritization decision
- Proactively surface financial risks/opportunity from product investments to GTM product-line performance, and provide recommendations on ways to adjust or accelerate
- Become trusted stakeholder across R&D, Product, Sales, and Finance by understanding and driving end-to-end process of product investment to GTM execution
Our take
Collibra wants to help firms understand data governance. As companies gather ever more data, Collibra helps them understand what data they have, who has access to it and how to move it through a workflow of data analysis tools.
Historically, large corporations have not thought much about the data they collect and how to use it. In this day and age, however, data is super valuable, so everyone wants to make the most of it, which has made businesses turn to products such as Collibra's. The company has secured many big-name clients, including T-Mobile, Lloyds Banking, and Equifax.
The company's growth has been helped by increasing data privacy legislation like GDPR, which means companies have a legal obligation to be in control of the data they're collecting and giving their employees access to. In 2022, the company was named an Innovation Summit Honoree by the Bank of America’s annual Technology Innovation Summit. It has continued to add new features and integrations to maintain its offering's premium status, including a new data marketplace, which provides a shopping-like experience from which users can access a company’s internal datasets.
