FP&A Manager, Corporate

Nscale • San Francisco, CA

8h • Remote

About The Position

We are looking for an FP&A Manager to support Corporate FP&A, performance management, and business partnering across Nscale’s global functions and strategic initiatives. Based in the US, the role will work closely with senior stakeholders across multiple locations and with the FP&A leadership team to improve decision-making, financial discipline, planning cycles, and forecast accuracy in a fast-scaling global business. This is a high-ownership role rather than a pure reporting or consolidation position. You will take responsibility for planning, forecasting, performance insight, and business partnering across an evolving portfolio, with scope adjusted over time to reflect business priorities, team structure, and individual strengths. The successful candidate will partner with senior functional leaders, contribute to executive and Board reporting, and lead or support high-priority cross-functional projects, including process and systems improvement, investment cases, post-acquisition integration, and other strategic initiatives. This is an ideal opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to take ownership in a high-growth environment. You will combine strong financial fundamentals with curiosity and a proactive mindset to help shape business performance in a fast-scaling environment.

Requirements

• Qualified accountant or equivalent financial qualification.
• Typically 4+ years of relevant post-qualification experience, or equivalent experience in FP&A, commercial finance, or strategic finance.
• Demonstrable experience owning an FP&A, commercial-finance, or business-partnering portfolio.
• Strong analytical and modelling skills, with hands-on experience using financial systems (e.g., NetSuite & Pigment).
• Experience partnering with senior non-finance leaders and challenging spend, headcount, and investment assumptions.
• Ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and concisely to non-finance stakeholders.
• Experience operating in a high-growth, fast-changing, or complex business environment.
• Demonstrated ability to create clarity from incomplete data and dynamic priorities.

Nice To Haves

• Proactive mindset with a strong passion for continuous problem-solving.
• Takes full responsibility for driving outcomes and delivering results.
• Exceptional attention to detail combined with the ability to step back and align with the bigger strategic picture.
• Confident and pragmatic stakeholder partner who builds trust and constructively challenges assumptions.
• Maintains high standards of output while working efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the budget and rolling forecast for an agreed portfolio of functions, including headcount, non-payroll costs, commitments, and key investment decisions.
• Develop driver-based models and scenarios that support management decisions.
• Challenge assumptions constructively and identify risks, opportunities, and actions early.
• Act as the primary finance partner to senior functional leaders, creating trusted relationships by providing commercial insight and constructive challenge.
• Support decisions on resourcing, supplier commitments, operating expenditure, and investment priorities, with clear articulation of trade-offs and financial consequences.
• Help strengthen financial discipline and accountability across the business, including purchase-order governance, cost ownership, and forecast accuracy.
• Lead monthly performance reporting for the portfolio, providing concise narrative on performance, drivers, forecast movements, decisions required, and forward-looking risks.
• Support the development of KPIs and performance tracking frameworks.
• Support high-priority cross-functional projects, which may include planning-process design, finance systems and reporting improvements, integration, and cost optimisation initiatives.
• Improve the quality, structure, and usability of FP&A data across relevant systems and reporting tools, working effectively where data and processes are still evolving.
• Establish scalable, pragmatic processes that reduce manual work while retaining appropriate financial control.
