15d•$50 - $60•Hybrid

About The Position

Shutterstock powers visual creativity for customers around the world. We are seeking an analytical and collaborative Senior Analyst to join our Financial Planning & Analysis team and support Shutterstock’s global Content business. As this is a six-month maternity cover role, the scope of responsibilities may be adjusted or refined relative to a permanent position. Primary duties include revenue forecasting across self-service and sales-supported channels, alongside supporting operating expense planning, workforce planning, performance reporting, and long-range financial planning. You will build driver-based financial models, translate business and customer data into actionable insights, and help leadership understand the risks, opportunities, and financial implications of strategic decisions. The Senior Analyst will partner closely with Finance, Sales, Human Resources, Revenue Operations, Accounting, and other business leaders. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys combining rigorous financial analysis with cross-functional business partnership in a global e-commerce and enterprise environment.

Requirements

At least three years of relevant FP&A, commercial finance, strategic finance, or corporate finance experience, including ownership of recurring forecasting and planning activities.
Hands-on experience forecasting revenue and operating expenses, supported by strong budgeting, variance-analysis, and driver-based financial-modelling skills.
Experience managing workforce or headcount plans, including hiring, vacancies, attrition, and the related financial impact.
Advanced Excel skills and the ability to work confidently with large or complex financial and operational datasets.
Experience using Workday or a financial planning system such as Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, or a comparable platform.
Strong business-partnering and communication skills, with the confidence to present insights, explain financial drivers, and constructively challenge assumptions with senior stakeholders.
The ability to work independently, quickly understand established models and processes, and manage multiple deadlines across monthly forecasting and annual budgeting cycles.

Nice To Haves

Experience in a technology, media, digital, subscription, e-commerce, or services business would be helpful but is not essential.
Familiarity with Salesforce, business-intelligence tools, or SQL would also be beneficial.

Responsibilities

Manage the monthly and quarterly revenue forecasting process for the Content business, including self-service and sales-supported customers and the underlying products, channels, and revenue streams.
Build and maintain driver-based financial models that connect operational and customer metrics to revenue, expenses, and profitability.
Support the annual operating plan, periodic forecasts, and long-range planning process for assigned business areas and cost centers.
Partner with business leaders to develop departmental budgets, evaluate resource-allocation decisions, and identify risks, opportunities, and potential tradeoffs.
Own the Sales workforce plan in partnership with Sales and Human Resources, including hiring assumptions, attrition, open positions, and the related financial impact.
Prepare monthly forecast and performance packages, including clear commentary on business drivers, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions.
Support the preparation of quarterly executive and Board of Directors materials.
Analyze variances between actual, forecasted, budgeted, and prior-period results; identify the underlying business drivers and communicate findings to financial and non-financial stakeholders.
Track and interpret channel-specific KPIs, including churn and net revenue retention for recurring-revenue customers, as well as new-customer conversion, average order value, customer acquisition cost, and customer lifetime value for self-service customers.
Partner with Revenue Operations, Accounting, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable and Collections to reconcile actual results, improve forecast accuracy, and maintain reliable reporting.
Develop scenario analyses and business cases to support decisions related to pricing, customer acquisition, operating investments, and resource allocation.
Help strengthen FP&A processes, reporting standards, dashboards, documentation, and financial controls.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve business performance, forecast accuracy, and the efficiency of financial planning and reporting.
