Job description

About AlphaSense:

The world’s most sophisticated companies rely on AlphaSense to remove uncertainty from decision-making. With market intelligence and search built on proven AI, AlphaSense delivers insights that matter from content you can trust. Our universe of public and private content includes equity research, company filings, event transcripts, expert calls, news, trade journals, and clients’ own research content.

The acquisition of Tegus by AlphaSense in 2024 advances our shared mission to empower professionals to make smarter decisions through AI-driven market intelligence. Together, AlphaSense and Tegus will accelerate growth, innovation, and content expansion, with complementary product and content capabilities that enable users to unearth even more comprehensive insights from thousands of content sets. Our platform is trusted by over 6,000 enterprise customers, including a majority of the S&P 500. Founded in 2011, AlphaSense is headquartered in New York City with more than 2,000 employees across the globe and offices in the U.S., U.K., Finland, India, Singapore, Canada, and Ireland.

About the Team:

The FP&A team partners with executive team members across the company to provide timely, fact-based, data-driven decision support to help drive critical business decisions. The team drives annual planning, owns the operating plan and long-term financial model, and is responsible for both internal and external / Board reporting.

About the Role:

In this highly visible role, you will own the financial modeling and forecasting for AlphaSense's largest and fastest-growing cost centers: the expert transcript library, AI/LLM and royalty infrastructure. As AlphaSense scales its generative AI capabilities and content universe, these are consumption-driven costs that sit at the heart of gross margin and unit economics. You will partner closely with Content, Product, Engineering, and Procurement leaders to influence resource allocation and support strategic investment decisions. The ideal candidate combines expert financial modeling with a strong grasp of variable, usage-based cost structures — and comes from a consumption-based business where they have owned that kind of modeling firsthand.

Who You Are:

• BS degree in Finance, Accounting or Economics or relevant degree. MBA or relevant certification (e.g. CFA/CPA) is a plus.


• 4+ years of relevant experience in FP&A


• Strong preference for candidates from a consumption-based / usage-based business (e.g. cloud or AI/ML infrastructure, data or content licensing, or usage-billed SaaS) who understand variable cost drivers and how spend scales with consumption


• Solid command of COGS, gross margin, and unit economics


• Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Capable of communicating complex financial information in an easy-to-understand format


• Strong business partnership experience, with the desire to work cross functionally to drive alignment across the business


• Expert financial modeling skills


• Entrepreneurial self-starter, comfortable with a high level of ownership


• Experience with Adaptive Insights, Salesforce, NetSuite, and visualization tools (Tableau) a plus

What You’ll Do:

• Lead all forecasting, budgeting, and reporting for content royalties, the expert transcript library, and AI/LLM infrastructure costs


• Build and maintain models for content royalty payments, revenue-share and content-provider commitments, and expert transcript library economics


• Model AI/LLM consumption and inference costs; partner with Procurement and Legal on model-provider contracts, including usage tiers, minimum commitments, and true-up mechanics


• Develop unit economics and gross margin analysis tied to consumption drivers, and reporting on efficiency, capitalization (ASC 350-40), and ROI on new AI features


• Partner cross-functionally to help budget holders understand spend relative to targets and answer key questions on resource allocation and trade-offs


• Assist in the preparation of quarterly financial materials, including internal, Board, and investor reporting packages, with a focus on strategic insights and story-telling


• Contribute to overall improvements across FP&A processes as we drive towards IPO readiness
