• Build and maintain financial models, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure that track GTM performance across revenue, spend, and operational efficiency

• Support quarterly and annual planning cycles: bottoms-up revenue forecasts, headcount modeling, and budget development in close partnership with GTM leadership

• Own budget vs. actual analysis and business commentary for your GTM segment - explain what happened, why it happened, and what we should do about it

• Conduct analysis on key GTM financial drivers - pipeline coverage, rep capacity / productivity, churn, PS delivery efficiency, and distill findings into clear, actionable narratives

• Collaborate with RevOps, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure data integrity and alignment between operational metrics and financial results. Maintain critical reporting infrastructure (e.g. Snowflake ARR reporting model)

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related field

• 2 - 4 years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or a high-growth SaaS environment

• Strong Excel or Google Sheets modeling skills; comfortable building from scratch, not just editing existing models

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - write clearly, present confidently, and make complex points simple to understand

• Intellectual curiosity and a bias toward structure: you see a messy problem and want to organize it, not avoid it

• Willingness to ask questions, take feedback, and iterate quickly

• High ownership mentality - you follow through, you flag issues early, and you don't wait to be told what to do next

• Actively uses AI tools to simplify and accelerate your work - you're curious about what's possible and look for ways to do more with less
