About The Position

Manychat is seeking a Senior Manager of FP&A to join its Finance team. This high-impact, hands-on role owns the full planning cycle, from annual budgeting and quarterly reforecasts to monthly close, variance analysis, and cash forecasting. The Senior Manager will also serve as a strategic finance partner to business leaders in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

The role owns and maintains a rolling 12-month cash flow model using direct and indirect methods, reconciling the methods and monitoring liquidity through scenario and sensitivity analysis. The position partners with go-to-market leaders on bottoms-up expense models driven by operational KPIs and unit economics, and owns Manychat's SaaS KPI framework and operational KPI library.

The role also drives ongoing improvements to FP&A processes, tools, and reporting infrastructure.

The position is preferred in Austin or the Bay Area, with U.S. remote work also available.

• Proven experience owning month-end close, variance analysis, and rolling forecasts in a high-growth environment.
