Director of FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis)

Code Metal • San Francisco, CA

2d

About The Position

The Director of FP&A owns Code Metal’s forward-looking financial picture, including planning, forecasting, capital allocation, and performance measurement across its commercial and government business lines. The role builds the company’s planning engine and turns its outputs into decisions with the executive team and board, while supporting fundraising and M&A. It is hands-on initially: the Director builds models and establishes the operating cadence before growing a team. The role reports to the Head of Finance and works closely with the Controller, GTM, Contracts/BD, and department leaders.

The Director owns the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, and long-range model; builds revenue forecasts for commercial and government contracting; defines company KPIs and reporting; and leads cash, runway, scenario, and investment-case analysis. The role also develops scalable planning infrastructure connecting systems and data, evaluates planning tools as the company grows, and builds and leads the FP&A team over time.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or corporate development.
• Experience owning a company-level plan.
• Experience planning for a government contracting business, including backlog, indirect rates, contract types, and pricing.
• Advanced three-statement and driver-based modeling skills.
• Board- and investor-facing experience.
• Ability to turn analysis into clear recommendations for executives, not just dashboards.
• Comfort building from scratch with imperfect data.

Nice To Haves

• Commercial software and services experience; experience in both is ideal.
• Fundraising or M&A support experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, and long-range model across commercial and government business lines.
• Build revenue forecasts based on commercial bookings and sales capacity, as well as government-contracting backlog, weighted pipeline, and contract-type phasing.
• Partner with the Controller on indirect rate forecasting and with Contracts/BD on proposal pricing and wrap rates.
• Define and maintain company KPIs, including Revenue, Bookings, Backlog, book-to-bill, backlog coverage, margin by product and contract type, and operating leverage.
• Deliver monthly budget-versus-actual analysis and explain the drivers of variances.
• Build department- and program-level reporting to help leaders manage spending and headcount.
• Own 13-week and long-range cash forecasting, runway planning, and related analyses.
• Drive board and investor materials, including fundraising models, dilution scenarios, and data room support.
• Model investment cases, new products, facilities and compute buildouts, and pricing; track results against the original case after decisions are made.
• Run scenario planning for uncertainties such as award timing, hiring pace, and capital needs.
• Build scalable planning infrastructure connecting key systems and data, such as CRM, GL, and HR data, and evaluate planning tools as complexity grows.
• Build and lead the FP&A team over time.

• Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision.
• 401(k) with 5% matching.
