Full Job Description
About the Role:

We're looking for an FP&A Manager, Product to join our Finance team. You'll be the financial lead for our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organizations-owning OpEx and headcount planning while building scalable systems that improve visibility and decision-making. You'll partner cross-functionally with Engineering leadership, People, and Strategic Finance to ensure investments are intentional, efficient, and aligned with long-term company strategy.
What You Will Do:
  • Own the Product investment envelope - Manage OpEx and headcount budgets across EPD. Ensure investments align with company strategy while maintaining disciplined spend and margin targets.
  • Drive rigorous workforce planning across technical and corporate teams - Build bottoms-up headcount models by function and level. Partner with Engineering leaders to sequence hiring against roadmap needs, compliance requirements, and operational scale.
  • Model infrastructure and internal systems economics - Develop clear forecasting models for cloud hosting, AI/compute, internal tooling, SaaS applications, and enterprise systems. Identify optimization opportunities across both product infrastructure and corporate tech stack.
  • Translate roadmap and corporate priorities into financial tradeoffs - Evaluate build vs. buy decisions, capitalizable vs. expensed R&D, and vendor investments across EPD. Provide clear recommendations grounded in ROI and long-term cost structure impact.
  • Elevate budget vs. actuals rigor across the organization - Lead monthly BvA reviews for EPD. Automate reporting, improve accrual accuracy, and surface actionable insights-not just variance explanations.
  • Design scalable financial controls without slowing teams down - Implement approval workflows for headcount, vendor spend, and enterprise tooling that are disciplined, fast, and transparent. Use automation and AI to reduce manual review and eliminate bottlenecks.

About You:
  • Proven partner to Engineering leaders - You've supported technical teams and corporate functions, understanding how product velocity and operational infrastructure translate into financial outcomes.
  • Fluent in infrastructure and SaaS cost drivers - You understand cloud economics, AI/compute scaling, enterprise tooling, and how architecture and vendor decisions impact margins.
  • Strong operator in workforce planning - You've managed complex headcount models across multiple departments, aligning hiring pace with financial guardrails.
  • Advanced financial modeler - You build scenario-driven models with clear assumptions and sensitivity analysis that stand up to executive scrutiny.
  • Precision-focused and systems-oriented - You eliminate blind spots in forecasting, improve accrual accuracy, and build processes that scale without creating bureaucracy.

Benefits:
  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.

Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
