We're looking for a Senior Manager, Strategic Finance- Insights and Analytics to join the Strategic Finance & Insights team working closely with the CFO and Executive Leadership Team on capital markets strategy, long-range planning, and multi-year business design. This role contributes directly to that work by leading the analytical layer that connects Lightspeed's revenue streams and by holding the FP&A relationship with data and analytics partners across the company. What you'll be doing: You will lead the cross-functional analytical work that supports executive decision-making and serve as a partner to the Data Office and adjacent data and analytics teams. The team is anchored by senior individual contributors who own the forecasting and modeling for each of Lightspeed's revenue streams. This role works across them to produce analyses, methodology, and insights that no single revenue stream owner is positioned to deliver alone. You will report to the Director, Strategic Finance & Insights. Your responsibilities will include: - Insights and Analysis: Lead the structuring, execution, and delivery of cross-functional analyses spanning all revenue streams (Software, Payments, Capital, and Hardware). Translate variances, structural shifts, and emerging trends across the business into clear narratives for senior finance leadership. - Data Partnership and Stewardship: Serve as the senior FP&A point of contact for the Data Office, analytics teams, and platform owners across the company. Represent FP&A's position on the definition and integrity of finance-critical metrics, contribute to cross-functional alignment on master data management, standardized reporting dimensions, and data governance frameworks, and translate between technical data discussions and finance audiences. - Forecasting Methodology and Accuracy: Support the evolution of Lightspeed's forecasting methodology and the framework used to assess forecasting accuracy. Identify structural sources of variance and contribute to improvements in how the team forecasts the business. - AI and Innovation: Integrate AI tools, automation, and emerging analytical techniques into the team's analytical workflows where they meaningfully improve quality or efficiency. What you need to bring: - Experience & Education: - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field. - 7+ years of progressive FP&A, strategic finance, or analytical experience, ideally in a multi-product SaaS or payments environment. - Experience with EPM platforms (Pigment, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar). - Experience at a public company is preferred. - Track record of producing executive-facing analysis across multiple business lines or revenue streams. - Experience partnering with data, analytics, or BI teams as a primary stakeholder. - Experience with or exposure to master data management, data governance frameworks, or standardized reporting dimensions is a bonus. - CPA or CFA designation is a bonus. - Technical & Analytical Skills: - Deep fluency in SaaS metrics: NRR, ARPU, churn, LTV/CAC, Rule of 40, etc. - Strong financial modeling skills in Google Sheets/Excel. - Familiarity with SQL and modern data tooling sufficient to partner with data teams as a peer and understand what good looks like. Hands-on coding proficiency is not required. - Comfortable building structure across large, messy datasets where processes don't yet exist. - AI fluency. You use LLMs, copilots, and automation tools in your actual workflow, not just as a talking point. Excitement about what's next matters as much as what you already know. - Communication & Collaboration: - Ability to translate complex analysis into simple, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders. - Comfort operating with ambiguity and making methodology calls with incomplete information. - Cross-functional fluency. You've worked across Data, Accounting, and business teams, not just within Finance. - Experience presenting to and influencing senior leadership, not just producing deliverables for them. You'll enjoy: - A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work - A culture that celebrates performance - The chance to make an impact in a team that's big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard - Career-defining opportunities Plus benefits designed to keep you happy, healthy and fulfilled. - Flexible paid time off and remote work policies - Equity options, because this is your company too - Contributions to your pension plan. Your future matters - Training opportunities to grow your skills and career - Health and wellness credit so you feel your best - Time off to volunteer and give back to your community - Interest groups, employee led networks, social committees to sponsored sports teams - Computer purchase program to get your personal Macbook - Enhanced parental leave to support growing families #LI-SS3 To all recruitment agencies: Lightspeed does not accept unsolicited agency resumes.
