About The Position

Tempo is seeking a creative systems thinker with deep understanding of enterprise finance to join as an FP&A Product Lead, Financial Manager.

The role involves driving strategy for Tempo Financial Manager, which provides financial intelligence within Tempo's ecosystem, converting data from Jira, Capacity Planner, and Timesheets into project budgets, portfolio forecasts, and other financial metrics. The candidate will work closely with engineering and design teams, utilizing AI collaboratively to accelerate delivery and close the loop between insight and execution.
