About the role

The Finance Manager will provide financial leadership, strategic support, and operational analysis to drive the growth and success of a Business Unit within our support model. They will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, translating complex financial data into a compelling narrative and influencing strategic outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary finance partner for business unit leaders, providing strategic financial input and leadership on issues affecting the organization, including evaluation of potential investments, new bets, and business development initiatives.
  • Partner with the sales, marketing, and GTM strategy teams to drive the commercial success of the business unit portfolio. Provide financial analysis on pricing and packaging strategies, and other revenue-driving initiatives.
  • Lead and manage all financial planning and analysis processes for the business unit, including annual planning, long-range planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasts.
  • Own the preparation of monthly and quarterly financial reporting and analytics packages. Consolidate and report on business activities, translating complex financial data into clear, concise, and actionable insights for business leaders and executive leadership.
  • Perform qualitative financial analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs), apply financial modeling to generate insights into business performance, and advise on the financial impact of operational decisions.
  • Drive continuous improvement, standardization, and simplification of financial processes and reporting. Build scrappy solutions when needed, then scale them — with accuracy and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment.
  • Actively participate in cross-functional initiatives to establish robust measurement and monitoring practices. Collaborate closely with IT, Data, and other finance teams to align system capabilities with business goals.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of related experience in Finance, Accounting, or a related business function, with a focus on FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis).
  • Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • Demonstrated ability to excel in ambiguous, fast-changing, or greenfield environments.

  • A strong bias for action and a track record of getting things done without waiting for perfect information, structure, or headcount.
  • Experience supporting a GTM or commercial organization is highly desirable.
  • Master's degree in a business function (e.g., MBA, Master's in Finance) is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data and effectively communicate with diverse stakeholders — from analysts to executives.
  • A positive, self-starter attitude with a willingness to adapt to rapid business and organizational changes, and to lead others through them.
  • Experience supporting a business unit focused on technology, AI, or product development is highly desirable.
  • Proven ability to operate as a business partner, with a mindset of co-ownership and a track record of influencing strategic outcomes without formal authority.
  • Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills, with expertise in building scalable and repeatable processes from scratch.
  • Strong proficiency with ERP systems and financial planning tools (e.g., Workday Financials, Adaptive Planning).
