About the Role
Are you energized by turning data into strategy, building reporting that executive leadership relies on, and shaping decisions at the highest levels of a growing public company? This role pairs the foundations of FP&A (month-end close, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation) with forward-looking analysis that helps R&D and the broader company determine where to invest and how to scale. You'll be a key contributor to Strategic Finance, trusted partner to business leaders, a thought partner on high-visibility strategic work, and a key contributor to the consolidation and corporate forecasting that tell the story of the whole company.
What You'll Do
- Partner with R&D: Drive budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for R&D. Work with functional leaders to understand what's driving spend and translate it into clear, decision-ready insights.
- Drive Strategic Analysis: Support and advise on our most important strategic questions around R&D, hardware and AI evolution, including unit economics, return on investment, and how we deploy capital across new and existing product lines. Build models that reveal data trends; turning ambiguity into recommendations.
- Infrastructure Optimization: Translate complex software contract terms into clear financial forecasts collaborating cross-functionally with Procurement and Accounting teams to ensure comprehensive, accurate financial reporting and also, delivering on the forward-looking infrastructure ROI framework.
- Lead the financial evaluation of new business verticals and the creation of business cases to justify strategic projects, ensuring alignment with company growth goals
- Consolidation and Corporate Forecasting: Support the team's financial consolidation, corporate forecast, systems, and reporting work, and serve as a supporting partner during peak periods like quarter-end close, budget, and re-forecast. Work closely with Accounting to ensure accurate, timely data flow and tie-out between the actuals and the forecast.
- Reinvent Reporting: Automate and improve the reports and dashboards leadership depends on, and help keep our planning and consolidation systems (e.g., Adaptive) running smoothly and continuously improving.
- Lead with AI: Use AI to supercharge our financial analytics, dashboard reporting and workflows, and bring fresh ideas for making the team faster and sharper.
- Challenge the Status Quo: Don't just crunch numbers. Question the process, think boldly, and help turn financial analysis into action.
- Collaborate and Conquer: We value people who are low-ego, solution-oriented, and energized by partnering across teams.
- Own Your Impact: You'll have real autonomy and responsibility. We'll trust you to lead workstreams and deliver results, even with lean resources.
