The role will provide a holistic view and help shape how we tell our financial story to executive leadership, Board and public markets. .

You will partner closely with leadership to evaluate key business questions, develop insights from complex data, and influence decision-making through rigorous analysis and thoughtful storytelling.

• Actively seek opportunities to improve tools and processes to modernize workflows, increase efficiency, and unlock deeper business insights
• Own the cash forecasting process, partnering closely with Billing Systems, Accounting, Treasury, and SEC reporting
• Lead and coordinate ad hoc projects and analytical requests from executive leadership to translate complex financial and business data into clear actions, risks, and opportunities across a range of topics, such as capital allocation, guidance strategy, etc.

What We're Looking For

• 8–10+ years of experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, Corporate Development, Investment Banking, Private Equity, or related analytic roles, ideally within high-growth technology or SaaS environments
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with the ability to structure ambiguous problems, develop hypotheses, and drive toward actionable insights
• Advanced financial modeling skills with experience building flexible, scalable models that support decision-making
• Relentlessly curious, you question everything and hold yourself and those around you accountable to understanding the why behind the data and trendlines
• Self-driven and detail-oriented with an extreme ownership mentality
• Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely, and to influence stakeholders across all levels of the organization
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-changing environments, with the ability to bring structure and drive results without clear precedent

We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these

• Public company reporting, close-process, and audit-support experience
• Prior experience in a SaaS, infrastructure, or high-growth tech environment
• Familiarity with AI/automation tools applied to finance workflows
• Experience with Adaptive Planning and BI/data tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker)
