About The Role

As a Strategic Finance Manager, you will drive the core workstreams that keep our financial engine running: the operating model, the quarterly reforecast cadence, the cash flow forecast, and the analysis behind board reporting. You will work closely with the Head of Strategic Finance and our CFO to turn these into a fast, rigorous, and trusted process, partnering across Finance, Accounting, RevOps, and our Data team to build a single source of truth for our numbers.

What You'll Do

• Maintain our rolling, driver-based operating model, keeping it accurate and decision-ready so leaders can trust the numbers in every planning conversation.
• Drive the quarterly reforecast cycle end to end, running the calendar, inputs, and mechanics so each cycle lands on time and with clean outputs.
• Help run our planning cycles, from the annual operating plan to headcount and workforce planning, working with People and team leaders to connect hiring decisions to budget and strategic priorities.
• Run the monthly and quarterly operating rhythm, including budget-versus-actuals and variance analysis, and explain the "why" behind the numbers rather than just the what.
• Strengthen the rigor and consistency of our SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR and GRR, magic number, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, burn multiple, and Rule of 40) so they are defensible and trusted.
• Partner with Accounting, RevOps, and our Data team to build a single source of truth for our numbers and help accelerate the monthly close.
• Prepare the analysis and supporting materials behind board and investor reporting, in close partnership with the Head of Strategic Finance and CFO.
• Lead ad hoc strategic and scenario analysis that helps leaders across the company make faster, better-informed decisions.

What We're Looking For

• 4 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, ideally including time at a high-growth software company.
• Advanced financial modeling skills, including three-statement and driver-based operating models, cohort analysis, and scenario work.
• Strong command of SaaS metrics and unit economics, such as ARR, NRR and GRR, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, magic number, and burn multiple.
• Fluency working directly with data, including comfort with SQL or similar tools.
