Corporate Finance Manager

About the role

We are seeking a Corporate Finance Manager to join our FP&A team. This role will play a key role in our monthly forecasting cadence and Long-Range Plan, contributing to investor relations and quarterly earnings work. You will also own headcount and payroll reporting, the data feeds behind it, and the automation layer that lets us move quickly.

The ideal candidate should have 6–8 years of FP&A or corporate finance experience, ideally from a high-growth technology company. You should have a passion for data and its power in creating a competitive advantage, and be able to build clean, flexible models under time pressure. You should also have experience with Pigment, SQL, and Databricks, and be comfortable working autonomously with limited direction.

Responsibilities

• Build the consolidated story behind the monthly forecast and analyze variances to plan - focusing on the "why" and not just the "what".
• Produce executive-level analyses across headcount, expenses, and revenue streams, and surface what matters to leadership.
• Be a key partner in our Long-Range Plan and Annual Plan processes, quantifying the impact of strategic initiatives on our consolidated P&L, pressure-testing assumptions, and driving the executive narrative.
• Act as a subject-matter expert in Pigment, owning corporate model logic and company-wide planning assumptions, identifying bottlenecks, and unlocking efficiency gains.
• Partner with Finance Data and Finance Transformation to bring AI and automation into our workflows.
• Be the trusted finance business partner of our People & Talent organization, helping build and manage their forecasts and budgets, and partnering on projects that bolster our people-related analytics and workflows.
• Own headcount analysis and hiring reporting leveraged across all recruiters and hiring managers at Life360.
• Build the analysis behind the questions that need to be answered, whether they come from accounting, our internal team, business partners, or the CFO. Generate ad-hoc analyses on tight timelines without sacrificing rigor.
• Flex into Cash Flow forecasting, quarterly earnings, special projects, and business acquisition integration as the cycle demands.

Requirements

• 6–8 years in FP&A or corporate finance at a public company, with progressive scope and exposure to executive-level reporting.
• Ideal from a high-growth technology company with multiple revenue streams.
• Passion for data and its power in creating a competitive advantage for a company.
• Exceptional at financial modeling, building clean, flexible models from scratch under time pressure, and having an instinct for the right level of detail.
• Bias for quality and continuous improvement, doing less work at an A+ level than lots of work at a B+ level.
• Comfortable in a fast, deadline-driven cadence that also requires working autonomously with limited direction.
• A deep understanding of an enterprise planning platform (Pigment, Adaptive, or similar) as more than a casual user, and the systems-thinking to architect models that scale.
• Strong written and verbal communication, proven ability to take agency to move work forward and be an effective collaborator — from junior employees to senior leadership.
• An ownership mindset that recognizes the importance of trust, whether within the team, across the company, in the systems we build, or in the product we sell.
• Curious about AI and willing to use it. Some hands-on exposure to Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• MBA preferred but not required.

Skills

• Experience with Pigment.
• Working proficiency with SQL, familiar with Databricks, Snowflake, or similar product.
• Hands-on use of AI tools in a professional setting.
• Project management experience in cross-functional finance workstreams.
• M&A integration experience.
• Three-statement modeling and direct cash flow method.
• Investor Relations experience.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for US employees).
• Supplemental plans for medical and dental for Canadian employees.
• 401(k) plan with company matching program in the US and RRSP with DPSP plan for Canadian employees.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental wellness.
• Flexible PTO and 12 company wide days off throughout the year.
• Learning & Development programs.
• Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a productive remote environment.
• Free Life360 Platinum Membership for your preferred circle.
