About The Position

Fivetran is hiring a Senior Strategic Finance Analyst to own the cost and investment side of Product Finance and serve as the finance partner to the Product and Customer Support organizations. The role owns operating expense planning and management for both organizations, including headcount and hiring plans, vendor and program spend, annual planning, monthly close, and budget-versus-actual analysis.

The role builds business cases for product investments and roadmap decisions, supports pricing and monetization analysis, and co-owns Product Monthly and Quarterly Financial Reviews. It will work closely with Product Managers, Support and Engineering leaders, Pricing, Corporate FP&A, and Accounting, with regular exposure to senior leadership as the company scales toward public-company readiness.
