Job description

Are you a detail-oriented and curious Financial Analyst ready to make a significant impact by directly shaping a company's technology and product investment strategy?

As our next Financial Analyst , you won't just be managing spreadsheets-you'll be at the forefront of driving strategic decisions for our core Technology and Product organizations. You will own critical financial processes, architect key forecasts, and collaborate directly with leadership to translate strategic R&D goals into tangible financial outcomes. This isn't just about reporting; it's about seeing your analysis immediately impact our product monetization strategy and our company's future trajectory.

On a typical day, you might :

  • Own the monthly financial close for Tech & Product, meticulously managing accruals and performing deep-dive variance analysis to ensure forecasting accuracy
  • Act as a strategic partner to Technology and Product leaders, presenting and interpreting monthly financial performance (budget vs. actuals) and highlighting key trends and drivers to inform immediate business decisions
  • Architect and manage the comprehensive headcount and vendor spend forecasts, proactively collaborating with HR and Procurement teams to manage the organization's resource plan
  • Develop and maintain sophisticated, driver-based financial models, specifically owning the data & hosting (AWS) forecast using customer-centric cost modeling principles
  • Conduct and synthesize advanced financial analysis (e.g., R&D spend visibility, product investment ROI) into clear, concise, and actionable recommendations for senior business stakeholders
  • Support the annual budget process and contribute to the preparation of materials for quarterly Board of Directors updates, providing a critical view of our strategic investments.

The ideal candidate will bring :

  • 2-3 years of hands-on experience in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), with significant exposure to or prior experience supporting technology or software companies
  • A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field
  • Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills , with advanced proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets, and the talent to distill complex financial data into clear, actionable insights
  • Experience with product investment ROI modeling , analyzing how product decisions drive financial outcomes across customer acquisition, retention, and monetization / expansion
  • Prior experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) cost modeling and forecasting or knowledge of SaaS business models and technology industry trends
  • Exceptional communication skills and a proven ability to present and translate complex financial information and recommendations to non-finance, executive-level audiences
  • Proficiency in financial systems (experience with NetSuite and Looker is a significant plus)
  • A detail-oriented and highly organized approach, with the proven ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
  • A curiosity and willingness to leverage AI and new tools to continuously improve and streamline financial processes.
  • $77,520 - $106,590 a year
