About the Role

We're looking for a Director of FP&A to join our finance team and own financial planning and analysis across the company. This is a critical role with a direct impact on company strategy, financial forecasting, and operational decision-making.

We’re looking for a builder — someone who thrives on clean models, crisp insights, and clear thinking under pressure. Someone who loves the nuts and bolts of the SaaS business model and is ready to grow into a CFO role over time.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead financial modeling and budgeting
    Build and own our operating model, forecast cash flow, analyze spend patterns, and forecast revenue. All this rolls up to the board financial model which you will own.
  • Bring clarity to complexity
    Translate financial and operational data into insights and dashboards that help us make better decisions. Clean models, clean views, and strong opinions backed by numbers.
  • Support strategic projects
    Analyze pricing strategies, evaluate debt terms, help structure vendor agreements, and assess growth scenarios. You'll lead “first pass” contract reviews and know when to pull in legal.
  • Partner cross-functionally
    Work closely with all department heads to ensure alignment between forecasts, budgets, and business plans. You’ll help teams understand their budgets and forecasting.
  • Present to leadership and the board
    Be calm, thoughtful, and precise when answering questions from the Board of Directors, executive leadership, and investors. When you don’t know something, you say so — and then go get the answer fast.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong financial acumen
    You know your way around an income statement. You understand terms like opex, cash flow, accounts receivable/payable, and debt. However, you are not an accountant (and that’s a good thing).
  • SaaS-native mindset
    You get how a recurring revenue business works — from ARR and ACV to renewal rates and churn (GDR/NDR). You don’t need to be a metrics geek, but you speak the language and can learn fast.
  • Modeling wizard
    You build smart, scalable models. Separate tabs for inputs, calculations, and dashboards. No QuickBooks exports. No tables crammed onto one sheet. Your models are scalable and maintainable financial tooling.
  • Operationally sharp
  • You confidently navigate new projects with a problem-solving mindset. Whether it's renegotiating debt terms or doing a pricing deep dive, you’re both analytical and resourceful.
  • Board-ready presence
    You’re poised, clear, and credible in high-stakes settings. You think before you speak and know how to hold the room — or confidently say, “I’ll get back to you.”
  • Executive headroom
    This is a Director-level role, but you are on a career path to CFO. You’re smart, curious, and driven. You might not know it all today, but there’s no doubt you’ll get there.

Bonus Experience (Not a strict requirement)

  • Possesses an MBA and has 2-3 years of relevant post-MBA experience
  • Previous experience in finance - could be PE, banking, M&A, etc.
  • Familiarity with GTM and Financial software tools
  • Exposure to venture debt, cap table planning, or fundraising cycles
