About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our rapidly growing, pre-IPO FP&A team. In this role, you will own the expense forecasting and departmental budgeting process across the entire organization. You will serve as a strategic finance partner to Execs and department budget owners – helping them plan headcount, manage vendor spend, and stay on top of their budgets while supporting the company's broader growth objectives.

The position will report into our FP&A Manager and will be located in our San Francisco office (in office 3 days/week).

What You Will Do

Own and manage the company-wide expense forecasting process, including headcount costs, vendor expenses, marketing spend, software fees, and cost of revenue components
Partner directly with the Exec team and their budget owners to develop and maintain departmental budgets, track spend against plan, and surface risks and opportunities
Lead the headcount planning process, working with People / HR and hiring managers to manage payroll budget and hiring timelines across all departments
Collect and consolidate departmental budgets into the company-wide expense plan, ensuring alignment across teams and identifying gaps or inconsistencies in assumptions
Perform monthly expense variance analysis and identify key drivers of variance
Develop reporting and dashboards that give department leads real-time visibility into their budget utilization and key cost metrics
Work on board decks, investor materials, and executive presentations

About You

You're as comfortable presenting budget updates to an executive as you are building a headcount model from scratch
3+ years of experience in FP&A or corporate finance, preferably at a high-growth late-stage or public technology company
Demonstrated experience owning an expense budget process, including headcount planning and departmental cost management
Strong financial modeling skills with the ability to build bottoms-up expense models and scenario analyses
Expert-level Excel / Google Sheets skills; experience with FP&A planning tools (e.g., Adaptive Planning / Anaplan) preferred
Strong communication and business partnering skills with the ability to build relationships across departments and keep budget owners on track
