Lightspeed Commerce

14h•Hybrid

About The Position

This role contributes directly to the work of the Strategic Finance & Insights team by leading the analytical layer that connects Lightspeed's revenue streams and by holding the FP&A relationship with data and analytics partners across the company. You will lead the cross-functional analytical work that supports executive decision-making and serve as a partner to the Data Office and adjacent data and analytics teams. The team is anchored by senior individual contributors who own the forecasting and modeling for each of Lightspeed's revenue streams. This role works across them to produce analyses, methodology, and insights that no single revenue stream owner is positioned to deliver alone. You will report to the Director, Strategic Finance & Insights.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
7+ years of progressive FP&A, strategic finance, or analytical experience, ideally in a multi-product SaaS or payments environment.
Experience with EPM platforms (Pigment, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar).
Track record of producing executive-facing analysis across multiple business lines or revenue streams.
Experience partnering with data, analytics, or BI teams as a primary stakeholder.
Deep fluency in SaaS metrics: NRR, ARPU, churn, LTV/CAC, Rule of 40, etc.
Strong financial modeling skills in Google Sheets/Excel.
Familiarity with SQL and modern data tooling sufficient to partner with data teams as a peer and understand what good looks like.
Comfortable building structure across large, messy datasets where processes don't yet exist.
AI fluency. You use LLMs, copilots, and automation tools in your actual workflow, not just as a talking point.
Ability to translate complex analysis into simple, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders.
Comfort operating with ambiguity and making methodology calls with incomplete information.
Cross-functional fluency. You've worked across Data, Accounting, and business teams, not just within Finance.
Experience presenting to and influencing senior leadership, not just producing deliverables for them.
