At Docker, we make app development easier so developers can focus on what matters. Our remote-first team spans the globe, united by a passion for innovation and great developer experiences. With over 20 million monthly users and 20 billion image pulls, Docker is the #1 tool for building, sharing, and running apps—trusted by startups and Fortune 100s alike. We’re growing fast and just getting started. Come join us for a whale of a ride!

We are looking for a Senior Strategic Finance Analyst (Systems and AI) to join Docker’s Finance team, with a focus on owning Pigment (our FP&A tool) and enabling better decision-making through scalable models and reporting. This person will act as the team’s go-to expert on Pigment, building and maintaining models, driving adoption of new use cases, and ensuring data quality. They will also support financial reporting and provide ad hoc analysis to cross-functional partners.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being both a systems builder and a finance problem solver, and who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Serve as the Pigment owner for the Finance team: manage system setup, build new models, and continuously improve existing structures.

• Partner with Finance leadership to translate business needs into Pigment use cases (e.g., new forecasting modules, scenario planning, reporting automation).

• Build and maintain recurring finance reports and dashboards, ensuring accuracy and usability for stakeholders.

• Leverage AI tools to automate financial processes, enhance forecasting accuracy, and generate actionable insights that improve decision-making.

• Support the team with ad hoc analysis across revenue, expenses, and operational metrics.

• Ensure data integrity across Pigment, Excel, and Google Sheets models; streamline workflows where possible.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (GTM, Product, Operations, People) to collect inputs, align on assumptions, and improve forecast accuracy.

• Contribute to budgeting, forecasting, and monthly reporting cycles.

• 4+ years of experience in FP&A, finance systems management, or related roles.

• Hands-on experience with Pigment including advanced features such as AI modeling

• Strong skills in Excel and Google Sheets (modeling, scenario analysis, data manipulation).

• Strong problem-solving mindset: able to build scalable solutions in systems, not just one-off models.

• Detail-oriented with the ability to spot errors and ensure data quality.

• Clear communicator who can translate financial/system concepts into simple terms for non-finance stakeholders.

• Experience building out and scaling financial tools in a high-growth company.

• Exposure to SaaS metrics and subscription-based business models.

• Hands-on experience applying AI or automation technologies to finance workflows (e.g., forecasting, reporting, data reconciliation).
