What this role is about:
We are looking for an FP&A Manager who treats financial analysis as a systems problem — building the logic and workflows that let the business make faster, better decisions, and partnering with BI and data teams to put that logic into durable systems. You will join a Finance Team of strategic doers dedicated to eliminating manual spreadsheets and building automated, robust systems that support a "rocketship" growth trajectory. This role is about transforming raw data into the strategic insights that empower our internal business units to make informed decisions.
What you’ll do:
As the owner of key FP&A pillars, you will ensure our financial engine runs with precision and agility:
- Core Modeling: Own and evolve the company’s core operating models, including sophisticated financial modeling and scenario/sensitivity analysis.
- Budgeting & Forecasting: Lead the development and implementation of advanced financial planning and forecasting processes.
- Business Partnering: Act as a strategic partner to cross-functional teams, identifying challenges and delivering actionable solutions.
- Close & Variance Analysis: Support monthly and quarterly close processes, providing deep-dive variance analysis to identify trends and risks.
- Reporting Packages: Deliver timely, accurate monthly reporting packages for the executive team and board.
- KPI Management: Own the development and maintenance of KPI dashboards and performance metrics.
- Systems and Automation: Partner with BI and data engineering to move recurring analysis out of spreadsheets and into governed systems.
- Cross-functional Influence: Raise the analytical bar across finance and the business through the quality of your work.
What we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:
- Experience: 5+ years in FP&A, banking, consulting, or equity research. SaaS or tech exposure preferred, not required.
- Technical Stack: Fluent with modern AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor). Comfortable in Excel and Sheets when needed, but oriented toward moving analysis into durable systems.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
- Mindset: A self-directed "financial innovator" who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
- Skills: Strong first-principles problem solving, clean analytical reasoning, and conclusion-first written communication.
What we offer:
- The chance to work with a passionate team on solving one of the largest challenges globally
- Competitive salary and benefits and equity participation
- A dynamic, flexible and fun start-up work environment with a highly talented team
