Senior Financial Analyst

About the Team

We are business finance professionals who love what we do and support the business both strategically and with operational excellence. We turn complex data into clear, actionable insight that shapes how our leaders think about growth, investment, and the future of our product portfolio. We're trusted partners to Finance and Product leaders alike, and we bring rigor, curiosity, and genuine enjoyment to the work we do together.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own reporting and analysis that keeps leadership informed on how our topline is performing. This role sits at the center of how the business understands its growth - building and maintaining the reporting packages leadership relies on, producing sharp analysis on revenue trends and drivers, and owning the financial models that inform forecasting and decision-making. You'll work closely with FP&A team members and cross-functional business partners to translate raw data into clear, actionable insight. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants ownership: you'll build the models, not just maintain someone else's; you'll own the reporting cadence, not just contribute to it.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end monthly, quarterly, and weekly reporting package, delivering timely, accurate insights on revenue, bookings, and other topline KPIs to senior leadership.
• Build and maintain dashboards and management reporting that leadership uses to track performance and make decisions.
• Develop, own, and continuously improve financial models supporting revenue forecasting, scenario planning, and long-range topline projections.
• Analyze revenue trends, drivers, and variances (by segment, product, channel, or region as applicable), identifying risks and opportunities and translating them into clear commentary and recommendations for senior management.
• Prepare management reports and presentations that translate financial data into clear, actionable recommendations for non-finance stakeholders.
• Drive process improvements to reporting and modeling workflows, increasing accuracy, scalability, and turnaround time.
• Support ad hoc financial analysis and projects as strategic priorities arise.

About You

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. MBA or relevant advanced degree is a plus.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive finance experience, with a strong understanding of SaaS business models and key metrics.
• Financial modeling experience & analytical skills with a focus on building scalable, repeatable tools & processes with strong attention to detail and accuracy.

Other Qualifications:

• High level of curiosity, accountability, & self-starter with ability to work independently.
• Strong business acumen and a proactive, results-oriented approach.
• Excellent interpersonal and collaboration skills with the ability to build strong relationships across the organization.
• Ability to understand the business beyond finance, and strong ability to think strategically.
• High proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and/or Google Sheets and Slides.
• Genuine interest and curiosity in exploring AI tools to make our processes more efficient.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
