Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Financial Analyst to join Netlify's Finance team. As a key member of the team, you will be responsible for owning the corporate finance cadence, managing the operating model, monthly reporting, budget management, and the KPI layer that leadership relies on to make decisions. This is an exciting opportunity to reimagine the finance function in the age of AI and drive automation of manual work in the monthly close and forecast cycles using AI and tooling improvements.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Senior Financial Analyst, you will be responsible for a wide range of tasks, including:
- Owning the monthly reporting cycle end to end, including actuals load, budget-vs-actuals, variance commentary, and management reporting package providing actionable insights and explanations.
- Maintaining and running the 3-statement operating model and driver-based forecast, including reforecast mechanics and scenario updates.
- Owning headcount and software/vendor expense forecasting, and tracking actuals against approved budget throughout the month.
- Maintaining the company-level KPI and metrics layer, including ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, and Rule of 40, as well as data integrity and reporting built on top of it.
- Building and maintaining department-level budget tracking reports, and supporting department leaders with regular coverage of budget, headcount, and software spend.
- Partnering with GTM leadership on sales team planning and KPI tracking, serving as a reliable point of contact for spend and headcount questions.
- Driving automation of manual work in the monthly close and forecast cycles using AI and tooling improvements, with measurable reduction in cycle time.
- Documenting processes so they're repeatable, auditable, and not dependent on any one person.
- Building internal tooling to improve financial reporting and budget workflows, moving the team off spreadsheet-dependent processes over time.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
To be successful in this role, you will need:
- Several years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or private equity, with direct exposure to the recurring corporate finance cycle.
- A history of building and maintaining 3-statement financial models with scenario planning and sensitivity analysis.
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles.
- Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel, and comfort working with large datasets and formula-heavy models.
- Deep command of SaaS metrics and their drivers, including ARR, NRR, CAC payback, gross margin, and Rule of 40.
- Demonstrated ability to own a deliverable independently and produce output that is clear, accurate, and ready for leadership without rework.
- Self-motivation and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines without close oversight.
- Curiosity and a strong willingness to figure things out independently, especially in ambiguous or underdocumented areas.
