About The Position

This role is being established to provide FP&A with a dedicated operational leader—someone who owns the day-to-day function, leads and develops the team, and enables the SVP, FP&A, to focus on board partnership, long-range planning, and senior stakeholder relationships. The VP will drive financial planning cycles with cross-functional leadership, establish robust financial governance, and set the operating rhythm of the business—while leveraging automation and AI to scale impact in a lean organization. This role will also be a critical partner to the SVP, FP&A, and CFO in communicating with the board and key stakeholders. The incoming VP will have the opportunity to shape team structure and priorities going forward. We are seeking a leader who possesses strong functional depth, a builder’s mindset, and the ability to operate at multiple levels—equally comfortable setting direction and rolling up their sleeves to do the work alongside the team when needed. The right candidate will be comfortable driving progress while infrastructure is still evolving—balancing rigor and judgment in an environment where systems, data, and processes are improving but not yet perfect.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with at least 3–4 years leading a team in a senior manager or director-level role
• Deep SaaS GTM finance expertise: ARR, NRR, bookings, pipeline analytics, and revenue forecasting
• Experience managing operating expenses across multiple functions
• Proficiency with integrated three-statement financial modeling; ability to own and present a full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecast to executive and board audiences
• Strong cash flow literacy and understanding of the drivers connecting P&L performance to cash generation and capital efficiency
• Fluency in GAAP vs. non-GAAP SaaS metrics; ability to explain and defend bridges between audited financials and operational metrics
• Experience designing or operating KPI governance frameworks and performance management rhythms
• Experience in a PE-backed, high-growth, or investor-oriented environment
• Demonstrated track record of building, leading, and scaling FP&A teams

Nice To Haves

• Experience with AI-assisted forecasting, automated variance analysis, or FP&A workflow automation
• Experience leading or contributing to a meaningful FP&A systems or process transformation (e.g., Adaptive Planning, data warehouse, or BI integration)
• Familiarity with Workday Adaptive Planning
• Background at a SaaS company scaling through the $300M–$700M ARR range

Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and deploy AI, automation, and advanced analytics approaches to increase FP&A capacity, improve forecasting accuracy, and streamline reporting and analysis
• Champion redesign of FP&A workflows to maximize team leverage and impact without significant near-term headcount growth; set the vision, sponsor the initiatives, and hold the team accountable for results
• Drive development of self-service reporting and insights that enable faster, data-driven decision-making across the organization
• Own FP&A analytical and reporting requirements and partner closely with the FP&A data architect to transition ARR and retention reporting to scalable data infrastructure, reducing reconciliation burden and establishing a single source of truth
• Drive financial planning cycles with cross-functional leadership, ensuring plans align with growth strategy, unit economics, and capital efficiency goals
• Establish and maintain clear KPI governance, including metric definitions, ownership, data sources, and consistent reporting across teams
• Design and operationalize the company’s rhythm of the business—aligning weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual performance reviews with planning and decision-making cadences
• Own the end-to-end annual planning and rolling forecast processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and cross-functional alignment
• Lead workforce planning in partnership with HR and functional leaders—tracking headcount actuals vs. plan, modeling hiring paces, and ensuring people costs are accurately reflected in forward-looking financials
• Establish forecast credibility with executive leadership by improving accuracy, repeatability, and clarity of underlying drivers—ensuring forecasts tell a clear “what changed and why” story, not just updated numbers
• Serve as the primary owner and reviewer of day-to-day forecasts and analytical outputs, challenging assumptions, tightening narratives, and ensuring the organization does not rely on SVP-level intervention to reach credible conclusions
• Drive rigorous variance analysis, cohort and segment analysis, and unit economics across SaaS and subscription revenue streams
• Maintain and evolve an integrated three-statement financial model; partner with Treasury on cash flow forecasting and ensure operating and free cash flow dynamics are reflected in planning and board materials
• Own the bridge between GAAP financials and the non‑GAAP metrics the business manages to (ARR, Adjusted EBITDA, Rule of 40+, retention metrics); ensure bridges are documented, consistent, and defensible
• Ensure strong data integrity and alignment across FP&A, Accounting, Revenue, and Business Systems
• Ensure metrics, cadence, and reporting are scalable and suitable for board, investor, and eventual public company requirements
• Elevate FP&A outputs from descriptive reporting to decision-ready insights—ensuring analyses consistently answer “what changed, why it changed, and what to do about it,” with clear implications, trade-offs, and recommended actions
• Serve as a critical partner to the SVP, FP&A, in preparing and communicating financial results, forecasts, and strategic narratives to the board and PE sponsor
• Own PE sponsor reporting requirements, including portco deliverables, board package preparation, and ad hoc investor requests
• Support capital allocation decisions by building rigorous scenario and ROI models that frame trade-offs across GTM, R&D, and other investment areas
• Ensure KPI definitions, ARR reporting logic, and financial reporting policies are well-documented, consistently applied, and defensible under scrutiny
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of managers and analysts as a true player‑coach—setting clear expectations and building a culture of accountability while remaining willing to get directly into the model, analysis, or board materials when needed
• Evaluate and evolve team structure and role design over time to ensure FP&A is positioned for the company’s next phase
• Build bench strength and create career paths that attract, retain, and develop high‑caliber FP&A talent
