Job description

Do work that matters.

At AlertMedia , we help organizations protect their people, operations, and brand. Our modern Risk Intelligence and Response platform empowers teams to detect emerging threats, assess impact, and respond with confidence. We believe building resilience should be simpler-and it starts with bringing critical information and workflows together in one unified platform.

Our core values drive us in our important mission of keeping people safe & informed:

• We're humans not robots

• We work better together
• Simplicity is our strength
• Our reputation is priceless
• Hard work pays off

AlertMedia seeks a FP&A Manager to own the financial planning and forecasting function end-to-end. You will report to the VP, FP&A and serve as the technical expert in revenue forecasting, expense planning, and variance analysis, working directly with business partners to deliver clarity on financial performance and drivers.

Who You Are:

You are a strong analytical thinker with deep technical skills in financial modeling and reporting. You have proven experience owning financial planning and forecasting functions end-to-end in high-growth or PE-backed environments. You're comfortable diving into complexity-building models from scratch, working with data, and translating numbers into clear narratives. You're hands-on and operator-focused: you own the work end-to-end, and when you spot a better way to do something, you drive the improvement.

What You Own

Financial Planning & Forecasting (Primary Domain)

• Own revenue (ARR) forecasting methodology and drive monthly reforecasting cycles
• Build and maintain annual operating plan (AOP) financial models; consolidate departmental expense submissions and build bottom-up expense forecasts
• Model headcount planning and operating expense plans across departments
• Conduct scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to stress-test business drivers and assumptions
• Identify opportunities to improve forecasting accuracy, process efficiency, and reporting workflows

Variance Analysis & Business Partnership

• Deliver detailed monthly budget-to-actual variance analysis with clear root-cause narratives and recommended actions
• Work proactively with business leaders to understand drivers and provide targeted analytics support
• Communicate headcount status and compensation dollars available to business partners; partner on understanding variances
• Lead drafting of board reporting materials, including financial narratives, charts, and commentary on key financial results
• Partner with Accounting team and Controller to support timely and accurate financial close

What you bring to the role:

Technical & Analytical Expertise

• 5+ years owning financial planning and forecasting processes end-to-end-not executing someone else's model
• Expert-level Excel modeling: build complex, scalable financial models from scratch; optimize for accuracy and insight
• Hands-on experience using Claude or similar AI tools to augment financial modeling, reporting, and presentation work. You're comfortable leveraging AI to work smart and improve efficiency.
• Strong SaaS financial acumen: ARR modeling, churn dynamics, cohort analysis, unit economics
• NetSuite experience or demonstrated ability to rapidly master financial systems
• Comfort with data exploration; SQL familiarity is a plus
• Very strong analytical skills and comfort with modeling and reporting workflows
• Understanding of the "why" behind business drivers and strategic implications

Execution & Improvement Mindset

• Track record of owning financial planning work end-to-end with accountability for accuracy and timeliness
• Proactive mindset: you identify bottlenecks and drive improvements without being asked
• Ownership mentality: you see problems and own solutions end-to-end
• Experience in high-growth or PE-backed environments
