Job description

• We are looking for a Senior Strategic Finance Manager / Senior FP&A Manager to be the finance partner to our Go-to-Market (GTM) organization — Sales, Marketing and Customer Success
• Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, you will own the analytical engine behind our go-to-market motion: forecasting, SaaS and bookings metrics, sales productivity, and the efficiency analysis that shapes our growth strategy. This is a high-ownership role. You will run recurring analyses end-to-end and act as the finance decision partner to GTM leadership
• Be the Finance Partner to GTM Leadership
• Serve as the primary finance point of contact for Sales, Marketing and Customer Success leaders, partnering on budgets, headcount plans, forecasts and resource allocation
• Partner with RevOps, Marketing Ops and Accounting to align on definitions and data sources, so every team works from the same numbers.
• Bring the financial lens to incentive plan design, modeling the cost, coverage, and expected impact of proposed structures
• Build the Forecasting Engine
• Partner with Sales and Customer Success leadership to manage the forward-looking bookings forecast
• Build and maintain driver-based forecasting models for revenue, pipeline conversion, staffing and marketing spend, and run scenario analyses on hiring pace, pipeline coverage and CAC
• Maintain headcount and compensation forecasts for the GTM organization — hiring timing, ramp, attrition, commissions– and flag risks against plan
• Contribute to annual budgets and long-term strategic plans, including segment-level growth targets and GTM investment cases
• Own GTM Reporting & Close
• Own recurring GTM reporting and serve as the finance voice in the monthly executive pack — bookings, ARR, marketing efficiency, and forecast risks
• Partner with GTM Ops to establish a single source of truth for pipeline coverage, capacity and productivity, so leadership sees numbers jointly owned rather than separately produced
• Own the GTM month-end close: compare actuals to plan, explain variances and recommend next steps
• Own the definitions and methodology behind our core SaaS metrics — CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC, ARR, NRR and gross retention — so every team reports them the same way
• Drive the Analytics That Shape the Business
• Partner with RevOps on sales capacity and productivity analytics — quota coverage, ramp, attainment and win rates by segment
• Evaluate marketing spend by channel and segment; measure CAC payback and pipeline sourced per dollar spent, and recommend reallocation
• Partner with Customer Success to analyze churn, contraction and expansion by segment and cohort, and quantify the revenue at stake in retention initiatives
• Support pricing, discounting and non-standard deal analysis, including margin and payback implications
• Keep the Data Honest
• Own GTM models, reporting definitions and source-data reconciliations, so recurring analyses are accurate and repeatable, not rebuilt from scratch each cycle
• Automate and standardize recurring reporting to improve the speed and reliability of finance support to GTM

Benefits

• 47 days off starting your first year, including paid volunteer time
• 12 weeks parental leave
• $1,000 annual educational stipend
• Ongoing learning and development
• Stock options and annual performance bonus opportunities
