Senior Financial Analyst (FP&A)

Key Responsibilities:
Budgeting, Forecasting & Variance Analysis
Own the annual operating plan (AOP) and rolling forecast processes for assigned business unit(s) — including OpEx, headcount, and revenue components
Build and maintain detailed driver-based financial models that connect operational assumptions (headcount, deal velocity, consumption rates) to P&L outcomes
Produce monthly and quarterly budget-vs-actual (BVA) analysis with clear, well-reasoned variance narratives — not just the numbers, but what they mean and what action they suggest
Develop subsequent-period reforecasts based on actuals trends, pipeline signals, and operating changes; communicate updates to FP&A leadership and BU stakeholders on a defined cadence
Business Unit Financial Partnership
Serve as the primary finance contact for assigned business units — building trusted working relationships with BU and/or functional leaders and their teams
Translate financial results into operational language that BU leaders can act on; translate BU operating plans into financial models that FP&A leadership can rely on
Proactively identify analytical opportunities within assigned BUs, including ROI analysis, pricing and discount rate modeling, product margin analysis, customer cohort economics, and long-range planning
Support the finance team's preparation of monthly and quarterly management reporting packages, board materials, and investor-facing performance summaries
Process Improvement & Systems
Actively participate in FP&A process automation, tool implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives — with a bias toward building scalable, repeatable processes rather than one-off analyses
Support adoption and optimization of Adaptive Insights (planning), NetSuite (ERP), and Salesforce (pipeline/CRM) data flows into the FP&A reporting infrastructure
Develop and maintain standardized templates, data dictionaries, and model documentation to reduce key-person dependency and improve team leverage
Month-End & Close Support
Collaborate with the Accounting team on month-end and quarter-end close activities, including accrual inputs, headcount reconciliation, and flux analysis
Ensure management reporting is reconciled to GL actuals on a timely basis; resolve discrepancies proactively rather than waiting for issues to surface in reporting
Required
5–10 years of FP&A, corporate finance, or financial planning experience — specifically within a software, SaaS, or technology company
Demonstrated proficiency building driver-based financial models in Excel from scratch — not maintaining inherited models, but designing and building your own
Experience producing BVA packages and variance narratives for senior leadership consumption — not just generating the numbers but writing the story
Strong Excel skills (advanced modeling, pivot tables, index/match, dynamic arrays); proficient PowerPoint for financial presentation construction
Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with competing deadlines without sacrificing accuracy or analytical quality
Preferred
Experience with Adaptive Insights (Workday Adaptive Planning), NetSuite, and Salesforce in an integrated FP&A environment
Familiarity with SaaS and subscription business model metrics and/or consumption-based revenue models
Familiarity with Data Center infrastructure environments from expense or revenue perspective; or demonstrated willingness to develop that domain fluency quickly
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required; MBA a positive signal but not required
