What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a versatile, execution-oriented Finance Manager to join our team. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of finance, systems, and strategy—ideal for someone who thrives on solving operational problems and building scalable processes. You’ll support the day-to-day execution of finance projects: partnering with Product, Sales, and Engineering to improve workflows, implement tools, and ensure financial data flows accurately through our systems.
Whether it’s standing up a reporting process, implementing a billing change, or supporting a departmental budget review, you’ll be the person who gets it done. You’ll also flex across analytics and FP&A—running BVA analysis, building models to support business decisions, and helping leadership teams understand what’s working and what needs attention. This is a hands-on role for someone who’s comfortable switching contexts, connects the dots across teams, and brings order and insight to fast-moving parts of the business.
What you'll do
Finance Operations & Cross-Functional Execution
- Lead cross-functional finance projects that improve systems, processes, and decision-making—examples include streamlining billing workflows, implementing pricing changes in Recurly, or building spend approval frameworks
- Coordinate and drive the MBR process: align stakeholders, ensure metrics are tracked and reported consistently, and facilitate ongoing accountability reviews across the business
- Serve as a connector between Finance and other departments to ensure business initiatives are supported by sound processes and clean data
- Establish and document scalable workflows for recurring finance processes (e.g., budgeting, procurement, vendor tracking)
Analytics & Business Partnering
- Run BVA analysis, support departmental reviews, and surface key trends across spend, revenue, and margin
- Build flexible, practical models for ad hoc decision support (e.g., scenario planning, cost modeling, customer/product analysis)
- Partner with teams across the org to translate business questions into data-driven insights and next steps
- Own and maintain internal dashboards and reporting tools for finance and business stakeholders
What you bring
- 6–10 years of experience in finance roles, with exposure to FP&A, business operations, and analytics; experience in SaaS or tech a strong plus
- A systems mindset—you’ve worked with tools like Recurly, Netsuite, Stripe, or planning platforms (e.g., Mosaic, Pigment, Cube) and know how to make them work together
- Strong analytical skills—you can build a model from scratch, turn messy data into a clear narrative, and make practical recommendations
- Experience driving operational processes—whether it's managing monthly reviews (MBRs), budget cycles, or implementing cross-functional workflows
- Comfort working cross-functionally—you know how to partner with Product, GTM, and Engineering teams without getting lost in translation
- Strong communication skills—able to distill complex financial topics into actionable takeaways for different stakeholders
- A bias for execution—you’re hands-on, resourceful, and good at pushing projects over the finish line without needing a large team behind you
