Job description

Operations · San Francisco, CA · FullTime · Senior level

This role owns the company wide financial model and runs the annual budget and quarterly reforecast cycles. A strong candidate brings years of hands on FP&A or strategic finance work in a high growth software company, builds and maintains complex three statement models, and turns variance analysis into clear recommendations for executives and the board. Comfort with SaaS metrics, revenue recognition rules, and partnering with leaders across departments matters as much as the modeling itself.

How it fits the AI era

AI speeds up the routine parts of planning and reporting, such as pulling data, drafting variance explanations, and assembling board materials, so the role shifts toward judgment and interpretation. What stays human is deciding which scenarios matter, explaining why results diverged from plan, and advising leaders on tradeoffs. The posting also points to automating planning and reporting processes, which means the person in this seat helps choose and shape the tools rather than only using them.

How it builds AI experience

At a company selling an AI powered customer operations platform, this role builds AI fluency by applying automation to forecasting, reporting, and data workflows and by learning modern finance tools such as Pigment alongside the ERP. Candidates can prepare by getting comfortable with large datasets, basic SQL, and warehouse concepts, since the posting lists these as helpful though not required. Experience using AI assisted analysis in modeling or reporting would show readiness for the automation focus.

Worth showing

• Three statement modeling
• SaaS metrics fluency
• Board reporting
• Budget vs actual analysis
• Planning tool automation
