About the role:

We’re looking for a highly experienced FP&A leader to build and scale the FP&A function. This person will own budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial planning, while partnering closely with Accounting and budget owners across the business. The ideal candidate has built FP&A processes from the ground up and has experience operating in a high-growth, scaled environment ($1B+ ARR).

What you'll do:

• Own the company-wide budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.

• Build the FP&A function, processes, reporting, and operating cadence from the ground up.

• Lead monthly and quarterly budget-to-actual and variance analysis, identifying key drivers and translating them into actionable insights.

• Partner directly with functional leaders and budget owners on headcount, spend, investment decisions, and ongoing budget management.

• Work closely with Accounting to ensure actuals, accruals, and financial reporting are accurate and appropriately reflected in forecasts.

• Develop scalable financial models and scenario analyses to support strategic and operating decisions.

• Establish clear financial KPIs, dashboards, and reporting for leadership.

• Improve forecasting accuracy and create greater visibility into business performance as the company scales.

• Bring structure and financial discipline without creating unnecessary process or slowing down the business.

Requirements:

• 15+ years of progressive FP&A, strategic finance, or related financial planning experience.

• Deep, hands-on experience owning budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.

• Experience building or significantly scaling an FP&A function, rather than only operating within an established process.

• Experience at a company operating at significant scale, ideally $1B+ ARR/revenue.

• Strong partnership experience with Accounting and cross-functional budget owners.

• Exceptional financial modeling and analytical skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations.

• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a fast-growing, rapidly changing environment.

• Strong executive communication skills and ability to influence senior leaders.

*Nice to have:

• Experience in high-growth SaaS, technology, AI, or another rapidly scaling business.

• Experience supporting a company through hypergrowth and/or major financing, IPO-readiness, or public-company scale.

• Experience implementing or improving FP&A systems, tooling, and automation.

• Experience developing headcount and workforce planning models in partnership with Finance and People teams.
