Job summary

Innovaccer is seeking a Sr. Manager of Finance Business Partnering to serve as the senior liaison for budget, headcount planning, and business case evaluation. You will partner with R&D, GTM, CS, and G&A to defend numbers and drive resource allocation decisions with leadership.

The role emphasizes independent management of discussions, strong modeling skills, and the ability to translate data into actionable recommendations for the CFO and functional VPs.

Qualifications

• 6–8 years in FP&A, Strategic Finance, or business partnering roles, ideally in SaaS or high-growth tech.
• CA- 1st Attempt / CFA / MBA (Finance) or equivalent (Tier 1).
• Demonstrated ability to run a budget, headcount, or spend conversation directly with a functional leader and hold your ground on the numbers.
• Some people-management experience, or clear readiness to manage and develop a direct report.
• Strong modeling and analytical skills; comfort with AI/automation tools for first-pass analysis so your time goes to judgment, not production.
• Calm, direct communication style — able to deliver an unwelcome number without softening the substance.

Responsibilities

• Embedded partnership with R&D, GTM, Customer Success, and G&A — budget discussions, headcount planning, spend optimization, resource allocation.
• Own business cases and project economics for new initiatives, and defend them in front of functional and finance leadership.
• Independently run recurring budget and performance conversations with functional heads — not just prepare the materials for someone else to present.
• Unit economics and profitability analysis to support initiative evaluation and ROI decisions.
• Translate variance and performance data into a point of view, not just a readout.
• Flag risks and challenge assumptions proactively, before they reach the Director or CFO.
• Manage the Manager – Business Finance: set priorities, review output quality, and coach them toward handling more senior conversations independently.
• Stay close enough to MIS, performance reporting, and forecasting to step in during close or budget-season crunch.

Job description

About the Role

We’re hiring an Sr. Manager to be the senior voice in the room for Finance Business Partnering — the person functional leaders turn to when a budget number, a headcount ask, or a business case needs a real answer, not just a report. This is not an execution role. We already have operational coverage; what’s missing is someone with the judgment to independently run a leadership conversation, push back on a weak assumption, and turn analysis into a recommendation the CFO or a functional VP will actually act on.

A Day in the Life

Finance Business Partnering

• Embedded partnership with R&D, GTM, Customer Success, and G&A — budget discussions, headcount planning, spend optimization, resource allocation
• Own business cases and project economics for new initiatives, and defend them in front of functional and finance leadership
• Independently run recurring budget and performance conversations with functional heads — not just prepare the materials for someone else to present

Strategic & Analytical Judgment

• Unit economics and profitability analysis to support initiative evaluation and ROI decisions
• Translate variance and performance data into a point of view, not just a readout
• Flag risks and challenge assumptions proactively, before they reach the Director or CFO

Team Leadership

• Manage the Manager – Business Finance: set priorities, review output quality, and coach them toward handling more senior conversations independently
• Act as the quality bar between operational output and what’s fit to put in front of leadership

Cross-Coverage

• Stay close enough to MIS, performance reporting, and forecasting to step in during close or budget-season crunch — this role is expected to flex across both pillars, not stay siloed in business partnering
• 6–8 years in FP&A, Strategic Finance, or business partnering roles, ideally in SaaS or high-growth tech
• CA- 1st Attempt / CFA / MBA (Finance) or equivalent (Tier 1)
• Demonstrated ability to run a budget, headcount, or spend conversation directly with a functional leader and hold your ground on the numbers
• Some people-management experience, or clear readiness to manage and develop a direct report
• Strong modeling and analytical skills; comfort working with AI/automation tools for first-pass analysis so your time goes to judgment, not production
• Calm, direct communication style — able to deliver an unwelcome number without softening the substance

Why This Role

This is the seat built for someone who’s outgrown pure execution but hasn’t yet had the platform to lead leadership conversations independently. You’ll get real stakeholder ownership, a direct reporting line to the Director, and a defined path toward a future Director-level role as the team scales.

Here’s What We Offer

About Innovaccer

Innovaccer builds software that helps hospitals, clinics, and health insurance companies make sense of all the scattered data they deal with every day — patient records, appointments, insurance claims, lab results — and turns it into something useful and actionable.

Think of a typical hospital: patient information often lives in a dozen different systems that don’t talk to each other well. This causes delays in scheduling, slows down doctors, and makes it harder to catch health problems early. Innovaccer’s platform connects all of that data together, and increasingly, uses AI “agents” to actually do some of the manual work for healthcare teams — things like scheduling appointments, preparing insurance paperwork, or drafting clinical notes — so that staff can spend more time with patients and less time on admin work.

Some of the largest healthcare systems in the US — including CommonSpirit Health, Atlantic Health, and Banner Health — use Innovaccer’s platform today.

The company is also investing heavily in this direction: in June 2026, Innovaccer signed a multi-year partnership with AWS to run its AI agents at a much larger scale, using AWS’s cloud AI tools (Amazon Bedrock) and healthcare-specific data infrastructure (AWS HealthLake). This is a strong signal of where the platform — and this engineering team — is headed next.
