- Develop financial models, reporting, and analysis that support Corporate FP&A deliverables for finance leadership.
- Drive process improvements across close and planning workflows, with a focus on automation, AI-enabled analysis, and faster access to source data.
- Partner closely with finance teams such as accounting and compensation to support shared planning and reporting needs.
- Prepare clear commentary and insights for leadership reviews, including work that informs CFO, board, and audit committee discussions.
- Evaluate current workflows and identify opportunities to replace manual file management with more scalable, automated approaches.
- Use sound business judgment to connect revenue model outputs to broader financial and operational context.
- Communicate progress, risks, assumptions, and open questions clearly in a fast-moving environment with quick turnaround times.
What You’ll Bring
- Experience in corporate financial planning and analysis with ownership of revenue forecasting, planning, or related financial modeling.
- A working understanding of SaaS revenue concepts, including annual recurring revenue, churn, expansion, and how these drivers affect company performance.
- Experience building and improving models while keeping accuracy, clarity, and business usefulness at the center.
- Experience using automation in finance workflows, along with curiosity about applying AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, or similar technologies to analysis and process improvement.
- Judgment to distinguish between basic task automation and more advanced, scalable approaches that improve how work gets done.
- Communication skills that support direct, transparent updates, thoughtful questions, and effective collaboration across finance partners.
- Comfort working in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment that requires resilience, adaptability, and strong follow-through.
- Openness to applying transferable experience from adjacent backgrounds if you bring strong financial acumen, an automation mindset, and the ability to learn quickly.
