Role Description

We are seeking a Senior FP&A Partner to help shape and accelerate growth across our core business. This highly visible role will serve as a strategic thought partner to Product leadership, using financial analysis, business insights, and structured problem-solving to influence both near-term priorities and long-term strategy.

The ideal candidate combines strong financial acumen with a deep understanding of SaaS business models and growth drivers. They will translate complex data into clear insights, identify opportunities to improve business performance, and help leaders evaluate investments and strategic tradeoffs. Success in this role requires a self-starter who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, building structure where it does not yet exist, and collaborating across Product, Finance, Data Science, Marketing, and other cross-functional teams.

This individual will also be expected to embrace AI-enabled ways of working, using modern tools to improve the speed, quality, and scalability of financial analysis and decision support.

Responsibilities

Serve as a strategic thought partner to Product leadership, helping shape short-term priorities and long-term direction for the core business

Build driver-based financial models that connect product performance and customer behavior to revenue, ARR, retention, and profitability

Evaluate growth initiatives, product investments, pricing strategies, and resource allocation decisions through rigorous financial and strategic analysis

Develop business cases and scenario analyses that clearly articulate expected returns, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs

Partner across Product, Finance, Data Science, and Marketing to establish targets, define success metrics, and evaluate business performance

Identify emerging trends, performance gaps, and growth opportunities, translating complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership

Improve the speed, quality, and scalability of financial analysis through automation, standardized processes, and AI-enabled workflows

Requirements

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related quantitative field, with eight or more years of relevant experience in FP&A, strategic finance, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, or a similarly analytical role

Advanced financial modeling skills, including experience building driver-based forecasts, scenario analyses, and investment cases

Experience supporting Product, Growth, or Monetization teams within a subscription-based or SaaS company

Strong understanding of SaaS business models and metrics, including ARR, conversion, retention, churn, customer lifetime value, marketing customer acquisition metrics, and unit economics

Demonstrated ability to translate complex data and open-ended business questions into clear insights and actionable recommendations

Proven ability to work independently, take ownership, and create structure in fast-moving or ambiguous situations

Excellent communication and cross-functional partnership skills, including the ability to influence senior leaders and non-finance stakeholders

Practical experience using AI tools to improve analysis, modeling, automation, communication, or other daily workflows

Preferred Qualifications

Experience evaluating product-led growth initiatives, pricing and packaging decisions, customer funnel performance, or retention strategies

Experience developing long-range plans and strategic financial models for a scaled technology business

Familiarity with SQL, data visualization platforms, or other tools for independently accessing and analyzing business data

Experience partnering with Data Science, Analytics, Product Development or Engineering teams to define metrics and measure product performance

Durable Skills

AI fluency means using these tools to amplify human judgment, not replace it. We believe people with these skills will thrive as work and technology continue to evolve:

Awareness: Understand yourself and others.

Judgment: Evaluate information and make decisions in complex situations.

Adaptability: Learn, adjust, and stay effective through change.

Connection: Communicate, collaborate, and build trust.
