Job summary

Corel, a software company known for CorelDRAW, WinZip and Parallels, is seeking a Senior Manager of FP&A in the United States. You will own planning, forecasting, and topline explanations, including weekly billings forecasts and the annual operating plan by product.

You will directly build analyses, manage KPI scorecards for monthly reviews and the Board, and lead variance analyses with clear explanations of deviations.

Qualifications

• 6–8+ years in FP&A, sales finance or corporate finance.
• Experience in software, SaaS or subscription businesses, with hands-on billings or revenue forecasting and topline KPI work.
• Proven, hands-on experience using Claude or similar AI assistants (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) in daily finance work, not just casual use.
• A track record of building AI-assisted workflows that saved real time or improved quality.
• Good judgment on AI limits: you check outputs, tie them back to source and know when not to use AI.
• Expert financial modelling in Excel; comfortable with large, linked, driver-based models.
• Strong grasp of billings vs. revenue, deferred revenue and software revenue recognition (ASC 606).
• Clear written and spoken communication, including presenting to senior leaders.

Responsibilities

• Prepare the topline and KPI sections of the monthly operating review and quarterly Board materials for CFO review.
• Build and maintain a product-level KPI scorecard: a trimmed view for monthly reviews and a detailed view for the Board.
• Lead variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year, with clear explanations of what drove each gap.
• Turn around CFO and executive data requests quickly and accurately.
• Planning systems & data: lead on planning system work (Planful) and data integration with Snowflake and NetSuite.
• Document models, planning calendars and controls so knowledge doesn't sit with one person.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing and product teams on their numbers and ROI analyses.
• Support ad-hoc projects such as audits, cost programs and M&A analysis.

The Role

Corel builds productivity and creativity software, including CorelDRAW, WinZip and Parallels, sold to individuals and businesses around the world through direct, e-commerce and partner channels. As Senior Manager of FP&A, reporting to the CFO, you will run how Corel plans, forecasts and explains its topline. You will run the weekly billings forecast, build the annual operating plan by product, and turn product and sales data into clear analysis that supports the CFO, the executive team and the Board.

This is a hands-on role. You will own the revenue model day to day, build the analysis yourself, and be the go-to person for how the topline numbers are put together.

What You'll Do

• Prepare the topline and KPI sections of the monthly operating review and quarterly Board materials for CFO review.
• Build and maintain a product-level KPI scorecard: a trimmed view for monthly reviews and a detailed view for the Board.
• Lead variance analysis against budget, forecast and prior year, with clear explanations of what drove each gap.
• Turn around CFO and executive data requests quickly and accurately.

Planning systems & data

• Be FP&A's day-to-day lead on planning system work (currently Planful): requirements, data validation, revenue and allocation models, and user training.
• Work with Data and IT to bring Snowflake and NetSuite data into planning and reporting, with clean, reconciled feeds.
• Replace manual spreadsheets with repeatable, automated reporting.
• Document models, planning calendars and controls so knowledge doesn't sit with one person.

Business partnership

• Partner with Sales, Marketing and product teams on their numbers, and test the assumptions behind them.
• Support investment cases for marketing campaigns, product launches and headcount, with ROI and payback analysis.
• Partner with Accounting on close timing, revenue recognition (ASC 606) and accrual accuracy.

Growth path

• Senior individual contributor role, with a path to Director as scope grows.
• Act as backup on critical models and processes across FP&A.
• Support ad-hoc projects such as audits, cost programs and M&A analysis.

What We're Looking For

Required

• 6–8+ years in FP&A, sales finance or corporate finance.
• Experience in software, SaaS or subscription businesses, with hands-on billings or revenue forecasting and topline KPI work.
• Proven, hands-on experience using Claude or similar AI assistants (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) in daily finance work, not just casual use.
• A track record of building AI-assisted workflows that saved real time or improved quality. Be ready to show 2–3 examples.
• Good judgment on AI limits: you check outputs, tie them back to source and know when not to use AI.
• Expert financial modelling in Excel; comfortable with large, linked, driver-based models.
• Strong grasp of billings vs. revenue, deferred revenue and software revenue recognition (ASC 606).
• Clear written and spoken communication, including presenting to senior leaders.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics or a related field.

Preferred

• Experience with NetSuite (ERP), including GL structure, saved searches and reporting.
• Experience with Snowflake, including writing SQL to pull and join billings, customer and product data.
• Advanced Claude use: Projects, connectors, skills, artifacts or Claude in Excel, or the Claude API.
• Light scripting (Python or similar) to automate data prep and reporting.
• Experience helping colleagues adopt AI tools.
• Experience implementing or administering a planning tool (Planful, Adaptive, Anaplan or similar).
• BI tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Experience in a private-equity-backed company, including sponsor and lender reporting.
• CPA, CFA or MBA.
