KEY REQUIREMENTS:

Must have: 

10+ years' FP&A or strategic finance experience in a SaaS / recurring revenue environment. Strong command of financial modelling, forecasting and scenario analysis. Direct ownership of ARR, churn, pipeline, unit economics and SaaS performance drivers. Proven experience producing Board-level reporting and KPI frameworks. Hands-on operator with the ability to build as well as lead (player–manager mindset). Experience managing or implementing FP&A tools (Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive, Mosaic, etc.). Excellent cross-functional partnership skills across GTM, Product, CS and Ops. Strong communication, insight generation and executive-ready presentation capability. 

Advantageous: 

Exposure to fundraising, investor relations, or M&A. Experience in multi-entity, multi-currency SaaS environments. Background in accounting, data analytics or BI.
