About the role
We are seeking a strategic and analytically rigorous Finance Business Partner to join the Strategic Finance / FP&A team as our dedicated commercial finance lead for our Sales & Marketing function.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end revenue forecast model for the commercial organization, integrating pipeline data, bookings, churn, and expansion assumptions across all GTM segments.
- Serve as the primary finance business partner to the CCO, VP of Sales, and GTM leadership, translating financial data into actionable insights that drive quota attainment, headcount decisions, and growth strategy.
- Led the annual quota-setting and territory planning process in close partnership with Sales Operations, ensuring alignment between top-down revenue targets and bottoms-up sales capacity modeling.
- Build and maintain dashboards tracking key commercial metrics (ARR, NRR, ACV, win rates, CAC, LTV, payback period, pipeline coverage) and deliver regular reporting to the CFO and executive team.
- Support QBRs, board materials, and investor-facing narratives with GTM financial performance analysis and forward-looking commentary.
- Partner with Marketing to develop spend efficiency models, track CAC by channel and segment, and assess pipeline contribution from demand generation programs.
- Drive financial integration work across the Arcadia and ENGIE Impact commercial teams, including harmonizing revenue definitions, CRM data standards, and go-to-market reporting.
- Lead ad-hoc strategic analyses, including pricing and packaging scenarios, market expansion modeling, and M&A revenue diligence — as the company scales post-acquisition.
- Continuously improve FP&A processes, tools, and automation in partnership with RevOps, Sales Ops, and the broader Finance team.

- Deep fluency in SaaS and recurring revenue metrics: ARR/MRR, NRR, GRR, ACV, TCV, CAC, LTV, payback period, magic number, and pipeline coverage ratios.
- Demonstrated experience supporting quota-setting, territory carving, or incentive compensation design in partnership with Sales Operations.
- Strong data skills - proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets at a minimum; experience with Salesforce and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, PowerBI) strongly preferred.
