About the Role:

We are hiring for a Lead, Corporate Finance role to be the finance partner for our G&A functions and to own planning and reporting for a set of departments end to end.

  • Partner with Product and Sales to develop pricing models, assess customer unit economics, and keep pricing aligned with our profitability targets
  • Drive the Monthly Business Review (MBR) cadence for your cost centers, preparing clear, concise variance explanations and surfacing operational risks and opportunities, and develop and maintain the KPIs and metrics that give budget owners and leadership a consistent way to measure performance and accountability
  • Partner with the Finance Systems team to improve and automate planning and reporting in Planful, building and maintaining self-service dashboards that give departmental budget owners visibility into their performance while reducing manual work and standardizing processes as the company scales
  • Take on ad-hoc analysis and special projects for finance and business leadership, bringing structure to open-ended questions and turning them into clear recommendations

About You:
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field with 5+ years of FP&A or finance experience, ideally including business partnering with non-finance stakeholders
  • Advanced financial modeling skills and comfort working with large datasets
  • Hands-on experience with EPM/CPM platforms (Planful, Anaplan, Hyperion, or similar) building dynamic reports, creating templates, and manipulating data views
  • Strong communication skills, with a track record of making financial concepts clear to non-finance partners
  • A self-starter who is comfortable operating in ambiguity, creating structure where standard processes don't yet exist
  • Able to manage multiple workstreams and competing deadlines at once
