About The Position
We are seeking a strategic, results-driven Sr. Finance & Strategy Manager to join our GTM Finance & Strategy team at OpenGov. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role responsible for the financial strategy and business partnership for the Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing functions of our go-to-market organization, with direct influence on decisions that shape OpenGov’s growth trajectory. You’ll own the analytical infrastructure, financial narrative, and strategic advisory relationship for the GTM business, operating with a high degree of autonomy and independent judgment. The right person has already demonstrated the ability to structure ambiguous problems, build conviction-backed points of view, and earn the trust of senior stakeholders - and is ready to expand that scope further. This position is in-office at our San Francisco HQ, reports directly to the Director, GTM Finance & Strategy, and works closely with the CFO and GTM leadership.
Requirements

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to and influencing senior executives
- Track record of driving structured, well-reasoned analysis and decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, largely independently
- Advanced financial modeling skills; you build complex models from first principles and know how to make them scalable
- Fluency with CRM/CPQ data, BI tools (Looker); comfortable working directly in the weeds to diagnose and resolve issues in complex and oftentimes messy data
- Actively experiments with AI tools to simplify and scale your work - you build workflows, not workarounds, and you think in systems rather than one-offs
- Established experience partnering directly with and influencing senior/executive business leaders

- Own the end-to-end P&L - forecast and manage GTM spend, including headcount, T&E, and complex areas like commissions, drive accountability through budget vs. actual partnership
