Full Job Description
The Role:

The Senior Financial Analyst, Revenue & Commercial Finance is the embedded finance partner to Sales, Marketing, and Commercial leadership - owning the revenue forecast, bookings and pipeline analytics, and the metrics that define iA's recurring-revenue business. This role translates deal-level and pipeline detail into the forecasts, margin insight, and board-ready commentary that inform iA's growth strategy, and works in close partnership with the Sr. Director, FP&A on the quarterly reforecast and investor reporting cycle.

What you'll do:

Bookings & Pipeline

  • Maintain a rolling view of new bookings, renewals, and expansion vs. plan; partner with Sales Operations on pipeline hygiene, stage-conversion rates, and coverage ratios by segment and rep.
  • Flag revenue risk and upside early by reconciling pipeline movement against the current-quarter and next-quarter forecast; escalate material gaps to the Sr. Director, FP&A.


Revenue Forecasting

  • Build and maintain the monthly revenue forecast model, bridging bookings, implementation/go-live timing, contract escalators, and churn assumptions.
  • Own the actual-vs-forecast variance narrative for revenue; identify root causes (timing, mix, pricing, volume) and present findings to Commercial and FP&A leadership.
  • Support the quarterly reforecast and annual operating plan with revenue build-ups by product line, customer segment, and channel.


ARR/CARR & Recurring Revenue

  • Track and report Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and Contracted ARR (CARR); maintain the underlying contract-level data model.
  • Build cohort and logo-retention analyses to support board and investor reporting; partner with the Sr. Director, FP&A to ensure KPI definitions are consistent, defensible, and audit-ready.
  • Monitor recurring-revenue waterfalls (new, expansion, contraction, churn) month over month.


Pricing Support (Consumables Program)

  • Support the Consumables program's pricing strategy with financial analysis - margin impact, elasticity, and competitive positioning - as the program partners with Sales, Legal, and Procurement.
  • Quantify the revenue and margin impact of proposed pricing or contract-term changes ahead of Consumables/Sales/Legal/Procurement decisions.
  • Maintain visibility into consumables revenue and margin trends tied to the installed automation base.


Sales Compensation & GTM Partnership

  • Serve as the embedded finance voice in weekly pipeline and forecast reviews with Sales leadership.
  • Support commission calculations and payout accuracy in partnership with Sales Ops/HR/Payroll.
  • Provide financial input on quota-setting, territory design, and comp plan design; model the cost and behavioral impact of proposed plan changes before rollout.
  • Analyze marketing spend efficiency (CAC, payback period, funnel conversion) and partner with Marketing on ROI reporting.


Gross Margin Analysis

  • Analyze gross margin by product line, customer segment, and contract type; identify cost-to-serve drivers and margin erosion.
  • Partner with Operations and Product finance counterparts on cost inputs affecting deal-level and portfolio profitability.


Who you are:
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA or CFA a plus.
  • 3-5 years of experience in FP&A, commercial/sales finance, revenue accounting, or investment banking; SaaS, subscription, or recurring-revenue business experience strongly preferred.
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; hands-on experience with Workday Adaptive Planning or a comparable EPM/planning tool.
  • Comfort working with CRM data (Salesforce or similar) to translate pipeline detail into financial forecasts.
  • Strong business partnering skills - able to translate financial concepts for Sales and Marketing stakeholders and hold a credible point of view in cross-functional discussions.
