About the role:
We're looking for a Finance Manager to join our Commercial FP&A team within Strategic Finance. This team member will own a diverse set of recurring deliverables and analyses that keep the business informed. The Commercial FP&A team acts as the analytical engine of the company, providing insights that support optimal business decision-making.
This role requires strong commercial finance acumen and a genuine interest in understanding the "why" behind the numbers. You'll support the narrative behind revenue performance for the Senior Leadership Team and Board-level materials, partner with Commercial and Sales Operations teams on GTM reporting, and help maintain the reporting infrastructure that leadership relies on for in-quarter decisions.
Responsibilities:
Own recurring revenue reporting workflows - daily/weekly file maintenance, revenue trackers, attainment dashboards, and variance analysis - ensuring accuracy and timely delivery at a daily cadence
Prepare and update executive materials for KPI reviews, Board of Directors presentations, and SLT meetings, including slide updates, and supporting data files
Conduct variance analysis on revenue movements and deliver clear, concise commentary that explains the "what" and the "why" behind performance trends
Support quarterly sales target-setting - assembling bottoms-up data, reconciling against tops-down forecasts, and surfacing risks and opportunities for leadership discussion
Own the commercial commission review process - synthesizing attainment data, identifying trends, and providing analysis that informs leadership's compensation and incentive decisions
Execute ad-hoc analysis for Revenue, GTM, and Commercial leadership to support in-quarter decision-making
Maintain and improve core financial reporting infrastructure - identifying opportunities to enhance accuracy, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across deliverables
Partner cross-functionally with Revenue, Sales Operations, and GTM teams to understand business drivers and translate them into financial context
Apply a common-sense quality check to all outputs - flagging anomalies, verifying data integrity, and ensuring deliverables are clean and free of error
Exercise independent judgment in prioritizing analyses and sequencing deliverables to maximize impact for commercial leadership
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 6+ years experience
Expert-level Excel and Google Sheets skills - can build, troubleshoot, and maintain complex reporting files independently
Strong data analysis capabilities with the ability to work across multiple data sources and reconcile discrepancies
Excellent communication skills - can format data clearly for executive audiences and draft concise commentary
Experience supporting executive-level reporting (KPI reviews, Board materials, SLT presentations)
Ability to ramp quickly on existing processes and deliver reliably with minimal hand-holding
Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment
Experience in commercial finance / sales finance, preferably in a high-growth or ad tech environment
