Sr. Manager, FP&A

About the role

The Senior Manager of FP&A at Qualia is a high-visibility individual contributor role with direct exposure to executive and C-level audiences. You will own high-impact analytical workstreams end-to-end, serve as the go-to financial partner for senior functional leaders, and help set the direction for how the FP&A function evolves.

Responsibilities

• Own Qualia's planning and forecasting infrastructure: Lead the design, build, and continuous improvement of our operating model, annual plan, and long-range financial plan, ensuring they accurately reflect the current and future state of the business.
• Drive financial rigor at the executive level: Lead preparation of monthly and quarterly management reporting, Board materials, and investor-facing financial packages; distill complex financial results into clear narratives that drive action at the leadership level.
• Serve as the senior financial voice for key business units: Serve as a strategic thought partner to VP and C-level leaders across some key functions throughout Qualia; proactively surface insights, flag risks, and bring independent analytical judgment to the most consequential decisions.
• Lead high-impact ad hoc analysis: Own complex, cross-functional analytical projects including M&A support, fundraising preparation, scenario planning, and strategic initiative evaluation from end to end.
• Architect scalable FP&A processes and automation: Identify and eliminate structural inefficiencies in how we plan, report, and analyze; build AI-powered workflows and automation that meaningfully reduce manual effort and improve the quality and speed of financial insights.
• Set the analytical standard: Establish best practices for financial modeling, data quality, and insight communication across the FP&A function; be the person others look to for how financial work should be done.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Strategic Finance at a high-growth technology company or experience in Investment Banking or Consulting, with a demonstrated track record of increasing scope and ownership over time.
• Deep financial modeling expertise - able to architect complex, multi-driver models from scratch, pressure-test assumptions, and communicate analytical conclusions with conviction to executive audiences.
• SaaS business model fluency - strong command of SaaS metrics (ARR, NDR, GDR, CAC, LTV, cohort analysis) and the ability to connect operational drivers to financial outcomes across a multi-product, multi-revenue-stream business.
• Executive-level communication - proven ability to distill nuanced financial analysis into crisp, actionable narratives for C-suite and Board audiences; equally effective in writing and in the room.
• Strategic business partner - experienced working directly with VP and C-level leaders, earning trust through sound judgment, intellectual honesty, and a point of view, not just analysis.
• Owner mentality - comfortable taking full end-to-end ownership of complex, ambiguous workstreams with minimal direction; you define the problem as much as you solve it.
• Ai-forward - actively uses AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) to automate workflows, accelerate analysis, and build more scalable financial infrastructure; both experimenting, and ultimately operationalizing.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field.
• CPA certification preferred.

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with financial modeling software such as Excel, Tableau, or similar tools.
