Sr. Finance Analytics Manager (Product & Engineering)
About The Position
HighLevel is seeking a Sr. Finance Analytics Manager to join their growing FP&A team. This role will serve as the analytical engine behind HighLevel's product financial strategy, translating product and usage data into insights to understand product performance and enhance modeling and forecasting methodology. The individual will architect and own product finance analytics, including product forecasting, partnering with CPO and CTO to combine product strategy with forecast drivers, tracking plan vs. actuals, and identifying variance root causes. This role involves close partnership with executive leaders across Product, Technology, Data, and Finance, connecting product strategy with financial outcomes by identifying key drivers of growth, monetization, retention, and profitability. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is both technical and financial, thrives in a data-rich SaaS environment, and enjoys digging deep into data to understand trends. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguous environments, can independently define solutions to complex business problems, and acts as a trusted advisor influencing decisions across the organization.
Requirements

- 12+ years of experience or 10+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, strategic finance, finance analytics, or related disciplines, with demonstrated success influencing executive decision-making and building scalable analytical capabilities within a high-growth SaaS environment.
- Advanced SQL proficiency required
- Experience with data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake) and product analytics strongly preferred
- Proven track record architecting product-level financial models, forecasting methodologies, and strategic planning frameworks that influence business decisions, investment priorities, and company growth.
- Fluency with SaaS financial metrics — ARR, NRR, GRR, churn, LTV, CAC — and the ability to connect product behavior to topline financial outcomes
- Ability to excel in high-stakes transaction environments such as leading diligence workstreams, structuring complex financial analyses, and presenting directly to internal and external parties
- Experience with BI and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI)
- Experience conducting open-ended analytical investigations — comfortable starting from a trend or anomaly and independently structuring an analysis to understand its root cause and financial significance
- Ability to distill complex financial analysis into clear narratives and recommendations for product and executive audiences
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic thought partner to executive leaders and influence decisions across multiple functions.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, define problems independently, and develop solutions to complex business challenges.
Responsibilities
- Architect and evolve the product finance analytics function, building and owning product forecasting across numerous products, underlying metrics such as adoption, and impactful reporting that enables important decision making.

- Influence roadmap prioritization, investment decisions, and resource allocation by connecting product performance to company-level financial outcomes.
- Lead complex, ambiguous analytical investigations to uncover the drivers behind product growth, engagement, monetization, retention, expansion, and churn.
- Develop executive-level narratives that translate data into strategic recommendations and identify opportunities to improve business performance.
- Own the product financial performance management framework, including forecasting, operating reviews, variance analysis, and strategic reporting.
- Establish insights and recommendations that drive accountability and enable Finance and Product leadership to make informed decisions.
- Build and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that deliver timely, trusted product performance and revenue visibility to Finance, Data, Product, and executive leadership.
