What are the responsibilities and job description for the Vice President, Finance & Strategy position at Fivetran?
From Fivetran's founding until now, our mission has remained the same : to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We're proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.
About the Role
Fivetran is seeking a strategic, results-driven VP of Finance & Strategy to lead corporate planning, strategic finance, FP&A, finance operations, investment allocation, and management reporting.
Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), this role will drive financial decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and enhance growth and operational efficiency as we scale. You will go beyond traditional FP&A-combining financial strategy, business insights, and operational excellence-to guide executive decision-making, growth planning, and financial scalability. You'll oversee revenue forecasting, investment planning, and key business metrics while leading board reporting, executive insights, financial system automation, and influencing corporate strategy.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role, partnering with teams across GTM, Product, Operations, and Engineering to align financial strategy with business objectives.
This is a full-time, hybrid position based in our Oakland office.
What You'll Do
- Build and lead the Finance & Strategy function, developing a world-class team to drive financial planning, forecasting, and decision-making.
- Own and enhance financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis, delivering actionable insights to leadership.
- Drive company-wide strategic planning, ensuring financial objectives align with business growth and operational priorities.
- Develop and refine revenue forecasting models, integrating insights from Sales, Marketing, Product, and Partnerships.
- Partner with Revenue Operations to set revenue targets, optimize pricing strategies, and design scalable sales compensation structures.
- Identify and evaluate new business opportunities, assessing financial viability, return on investment, and strategic fit.
- Implement and optimize financial processes and systems (including planning and budgeting software) to improve forecasting accuracy, reporting, and automation.
- Support board and executive reporting, delivering clear, data-driven financial insights that support decision-making.
- Collaborate with GTM, Product, Engineering, G&A, and Operations to ensure financial strategies support broader business goals.
- Support M&A, fundraising, IR and investment decisions, leading financial modeling and due diligence.
