Job description

Skylight is a fast‑growing technology company based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, building the operating system for families. Our products bring together calendars, lists, routines, and memories—helping millions of families stay organized and connected around the world. Entirely bootstrapped, Skylight has scaled to hundreds of millions in annual revenue under founders who are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs.

Base pay range

$150,000.00/yr – $165,000.00/yr

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the existing Finance team to forecast the consolidated P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement and 13‑week cash flow model on an ongoing basis
• Own elements of our annual budgeting cycle end‑to‑end; partnering with cross‑functional leaders to translate inputs and business strategy into financial plans
• Own the monthly close process from an FP&A perspective, including variance analysis and executive reporting
• Establish and maintain departmental best practices, improving processes and introducing systems as we scale
• Lead cross‑functional meetings with Marketing, Sales and Operations
• Collaborate with Marketing and Sales to evaluate growth trajectory and forecast sales
• Work cross‑functionally with the Operations team to assist with inventory planning, ordering and process improvement
• Partner with Accounting to improve reporting relevant to our forecasting processes, such as unit economics and BU‑level performance
• Coordinate with Data to define and govern KPIs, and deliver executive‑ready dashboards that drive decisions
• Partner with Director of Finance on modeling strategic initiatives including business case development, pricing analysis, new market evaluation and business model optimizations

Who You Are

• Naturally curious – if you see something that doesn't make sense or piques your interest, you naturally want to get to the bottom of it
• Collaborative – we all have our own areas of expertise but everything we do impacts other teams so working cohesively with other teams is imperative
• Comfortable with ambiguity – we're a startup and we often need to make decisions with imperfect information on short timelines
• Detail oriented – a must for any finance role; you double check your formulas and sanity check deliverables
• Strong communicator – you turn complex analyses into simple narratives, “so‑what’s” and executive‑ready materials
• Highly organized with strong time and expectation management – we have a lot to do, but it's important that we're honest with each other about how much can be done in a day
• Builder of better ways – you proactively streamline and automate current‑state processes to create durable improvements

Requirements

• 5‑7 years of progressive finance experience (investment banking, management consulting or accounting) with at least 2 years in FP&A/strategic finance
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a similarly quantitative field
• Strong financial modeling skills with advanced Excel skillset. You have built and maintained a 3‑statement financial model and will be asked to complete a case study in the interview process to demonstrate this
• Solid command of GAAP and revenue recognition; can translate accounting outcomes into forward‑looking drivers
• Experience with physical inventory, preferably in the CPG space
• Experience forecasting cash flows and/or balance sheet items
• Able to work US‑Pacific hours

Preferences

• Familiarity with BI tools, FP&A systems and/or SQL a plus
• Strong preference for: experience in a high growth environment, prior experience with inventory or subscription based business, candidates based in Los Angeles

Interview Process

• Phone screen
• Hiring manager interview
• Panel interview
• Paid take‑home project to demonstrate financial modeling abilities
• In‑person office visit

Benefits

• Competitive Salary + Equity Package
• 401K matching
• Wellness, learning, and home‑office budgets
• Health, Dental & Vision Medical Plans
• Tremendous autonomy to set the direction of your work
• Unlimited PTO
• Company holidays on the first Friday of every month (Excluding November, December, and January)
