Sr. Strategic Finance Manager (Bellevue, WA or Chicago, IL)
Location: Bellevue, WA (Hybrid) or Chicago, IL (Hybrid).
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Strategic Finance Manager / Senior FP&A Manager to be the finance partner to our Go-to-Market (GTM) organization — Sales, Marketing and Customer Success. Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, you will own the analytical engine behind our go-to-market motion: forecasting, SaaS and bookings metrics, sales productivity, and the efficiency analysis that shapes our growth strategy. This is a high‑ownership role. You will run recurring analyses end‑to‑end and act as the finance decision partner to GTM leadership.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary finance point of contact for Sales, Marketing and Customer Success leaders, partnering on budgets, headcount plans, forecasts and resource allocation.
- Partner with RevOps, Marketing Ops and Accounting to align on definitions and data sources, ensuring consistent numbers across teams.
- Provide financial analysis for incentive plan design, modeling cost, coverage, and expected impact.
- Build and maintain driver‑based forecasting models for revenue, pipeline conversion, staffing and marketing spend; run scenario analyses on hiring pace, pipeline coverage and CAC.
- Maintain headcount and compensation forecasts for the GTM organization, flagging risks against plan.
- Contribute to annual budgets and long‑term strategic plans, including segment‑level growth targets and GTM investment cases.
- Own recurring GTM reporting and serve as the finance voice in the monthly executive pack (bookings, ARR, marketing efficiency, forecast risks).
- Partner with GTM Ops to establish a single source of truth for pipeline coverage, capacity and productivity.
- Lead the GTM month‑end close: compare actuals to plan, explain variances and recommend next steps.
- Define and maintain methodology for core SaaS metrics (CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC, ARR, NRR, gross retention) across teams.
- Analyze sales capacity and productivity (quota coverage, ramp, attainment, win rates) with RevOps.
- Evaluate marketing spend by channel and segment; measure CAC payback and pipeline sourced per dollar spent, recommending reallocation.
- Analyze churn, contraction and expansion with Customer Success; quantify revenue at stake in retention initiatives.
- Support pricing, discounting and non‑standard deal analysis, including margin and payback implications.
- Maintain GTM models, reporting definitions and source‑data reconciliations for accuracy and repeatability.
- Automate and standardize recurring reporting to improve speed and reliability of finance support to GTM.
Requirements
- 6+ years in corporate FP&A or strategic finance, ideally supporting a GTM organization.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
- Deep understanding of SaaS business models and key metrics (subscription revenue, sales productivity, marketing efficiency).
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; hands‑on experience with Salesforce reporting and a corporate planning system (Anaplan, Pigment, Adaptive, or similar).
- Proven ability to turn ambiguous business questions into defensible, decision‑ready answers with minimal direction.
- Comfort operating as a peer to operations functions, building shared definitions and jointly owned reporting.
- Strong communication skills to translate complex analysis for non‑financial leaders and influence executive decisions.
- Genuine curiosity about AI tools and experience applying them to modeling, analysis, or reporting.
Nice to Have
- MBA (Master’s in Business Administration).
- Direct experience implementing a corporate planning system from the ground up.
- Experience with NetSuite and Ramp.
- Hands‑on fluency with AI assistants such as Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT for building models faster, automating analysis, or streamlining reporting.
