About The Role

We're looking for a senior FP&A professional to join Fundraise Up's Finance team as a strategic partner to Sales, Revenue, Product, and Operations leadership.

Reports to the Manager, FP&A and Strategic Finance.

  • At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve. You should already be using AI meaningfully in your work and understand where it adds value and how it can improve the way you operate.
