  • Create, maintain, and review complex financial models in excel/google sheets as well as Adaptive Insights.
  • Build, maintain, and assist with delivering management reporting, including budget vs. actuals, dashboards, and board materials.
  • Coordinate across the FP&A team to review and influence the key expense and headcount assumptions driving our budgets and forecasts. Assess forecasts to ensure accuracy, reasonableness, feasibility, and credibility.
  • Own headcount-related cost assumptions, working with our People team to set hiring goals and forecast headcount needs.
  • Maintain and improve cash forecasting capabilities to ensure we have an accurate cash projection.
  • Identify, prioritize, and implement process improvements and automation.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3 years of experience in a highly analytical role within Finance, Consulting, Investment Banking, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP accounting and key non-GAAP metrics.
  • Background in high-growth SaaS or technology companies is a plus.
  • Experience supporting a public company is a plus.
  • Excellent modeling and forecasting skills with experience in P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecasting.
  • Demonstrated ability to think strategically, prioritize competing initiatives, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
