Finance Manager (Corporate Finance)

About the Team

Netlify’s Finance team builds the financial foundation that helps the company plan, operate, and make informed decisions. The team owns our operating model, management reporting, budgeting and planning, and the company-level metrics leadership uses to understand performance and make tradeoffs.

As Finance Manager, you’ll own the core corporate finance cycle - from monthly reporting and forecasting to planning, scenario analysis, and KPI reporting - and help shape how those processes evolve as Netlify scales. This is a hands-on role with meaningful room to improve how the function operates: strengthening the models and insights behind business decisions while using AI, automation, and better tooling to make Finance faster, more scalable, and less dependent on manual work.

What You'll Do

• Drive the monthly reporting cadence: updating operating models, variance analysis, and the management reporting package, with actionable insights for leadership
• Take full responsibility for the 3-statement operating model and driver-based forecast, including structural changes to how the model is built as our business scales
• Help drive the annual planning process, including planning templates, scenario models, and turning strategic priorities into the assumptions and targets the plan is built on  
• Build and maintain the company-level KPI and metrics layer, including ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, and Rule of 40, and explain what moved and why each month
• Build the scenario and sensitivity models leadership uses to make capital and headcount decisions
• Own department-level budget tracking, and serve as the standing point of contact for department leaders on budget, headcount, and software spend
• Automate manual work across the close and forecast cycles using AI and better tooling, with measurable reduction in cycle time
• Opportunity to partner with GTM leadership on sales planning and KPI tracking

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, including several at a SaaS or usage-based business. An investment banking, consulting or private equity background preferred; but strong modeling skills, ability to develop frameworks to solve complex problems and ability to run scenarios is a must
• A history of building 3-statement models from scratch, with scenario and sensitivity analysis, and of making structural changes to a model rather than only updating inputs
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel, and comfort with large datasets
• Deep command of SaaS metrics and their drivers, with a point of view on which ones actually matter at our stage
• Understanding of how financial data flows and experience reconciling systems
• Working knowledge of SQL
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining your own approach to problems that arrive without a defined scope
• Experience as the finance point of contact for non-finance leaders, and the ability to make financial concepts clear to people who don't speak finance
• Hands-on experience building AI workflows for finance work, including validating AI output and understanding where AI fails
• Deep curiosity about our business, product, customers, competitors and industry trends

This Role Is a Great Fit If

• You want to own a function, not contribute to one. The monthly close, the operating model, and the planning cycle would be yours to run and to redesign.
• You're comfortable being the only person on this work. There is no junior analyst supporting the role and no plan to add one. You will build it and run it yourself.
• You take quality seriously. You know the difference between a variance explanation that's technically accurate and one that's actually useful to a business leader, and you hold yourself to the latter.
• You notice when something is slower or more manual than it needs to be, and you fix it without being asked.
• You feel confident communicating directly with department leaders about budget and headcount. 
• You're excited to build. The tooling, the reporting layer, and the automation work are all genuinely open, and there is room to make this function structurally better.
