Job Summary:We are seeking a strategic, results-driven Sr. Manager, Finance & Strategy to join our GTM Finance & Strategy team at OpenGov. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role responsible for the financial strategy and business partnership for Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing - with direct influence on decisions that shape OpenGov's growth trajectory.
You'll own the analytical infrastructure, financial narrative, and strategic advisory relationship for the GTM business, leading a team and operating with a high degree of autonomy and independent judgment. The right person has already demonstrated the ability to structure ambiguous problems, build conviction-backed points of view, earn the trust of senior stakeholders, and develop the people around them - and is ready to expand that scope further. This position is in-office at our San Francisco HQ, reports directly to the Director, GTM Finance & Strategy, and works closely with the CFO and GTM leadership.
Responsibilities:- Manage and develop a Sr. Analyst, providing clear direction, meaningful coaching, and prioritization support - setting a high bar for analytical rigor and delivering as a team
- Drive the financial strategy and performance narrative for Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing, connecting operational drivers to enterprise-wide financial outcomes
- Forecast and explain topline performance - bookings, capacity & productivity, retention, pipeline coverage, win rates, and backlog - at the product and segment level, tying those drivers to revenue outcomes
- Own end-to-end configuration and maintenance of the systematized ARR reporting infrastructure; collaborate with Commercial Ops on CPQ data structure, hygiene, and deal guardrails, and with Accounting on GAAP revenue dynamics
- Own the end-to-end P&L - forecast and manage GTM spend, including headcount, T&E, and complex areas like commissions; drive accountability through budget vs. actual partnership
- Architect and continuously improve the financial models, reporting infrastructure, and forecasting frameworks that underpin how the business plans and measures itself
- Lead high-impact strategic projects: long range planning, go-to-market strategy, sales capacity analysis, market analysis, variable compensation design, and other initiatives that shape how OpenGov grows
- Build deep, trusted partnerships cross-functionally with Sales, Professional Services, RevOps, Customer Success, and the CFO's office, and represent Finance & Strategy in cross-functional strategic planning
Requirements and Preferred Experience:- Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field, or equivalent work experience; MBA a plus
- 6-10+ years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, management consulting, or a high-growth SaaS environment, with demonstrated progression of scope and ownership
- Prior experience managing or developing others, with a track record of raising the bar for a team
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to and influencing senior executives
- Track record of driving structured, well-reasoned analysis and decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, largely independently
- Advanced financial modeling skills; you build complex models from first principles and know how to make them scalable
- Fluency with CRM/CPQ data and BI tools (Looker); comfortable working directly in the weeds to diagnose and resolve issues in complex, messy data
- Actively experiments with AI tools to simplify and scale your work - you build workflows, not workarounds, and you think in systems rather than one-offs
- Established experience partnering directly with and influencing senior/executive business leaders
- Low ego, high output - you care about the work, not the credit
