[Hiring] Finance Manager @Netlify

Role Description

As Finance Manager, you’ll own the core corporate finance cycle - from monthly reporting and forecasting to planning, scenario analysis, and KPI reporting - and help shape how those processes evolve as Netlify scales. This is a hands-on role with meaningful room to improve how the function operates.

• Drive the monthly reporting cadence: updating operating models, variance analysis, and the management reporting package, with actionable insights for leadership.
• Take full responsibility for the 3-statement operating model and driver-based forecast, including structural changes to how the model is built as our business scales.
• Help drive the annual planning process, including planning templates, scenario models, and turning strategic priorities into the assumptions and targets the plan is built on.
• Build and maintain the company-level KPI and metrics layer, including ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, and Rule of 40, and explain what moved and why each month.
• Build the scenario and sensitivity models leadership uses to make capital and headcount decisions.
• Own department-level budget tracking, and serve as the standing point of contact for department leaders on budget, headcount, and software spend.
• Automate manual work across the close and forecast cycles using AI and better tooling, with measurable reduction in cycle time.
• Opportunity to partner with GTM leadership on sales planning and KPI tracking.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, including several at a SaaS or usage-based business.
• An investment banking, consulting or private equity background preferred; but strong modeling skills, ability to develop frameworks to solve complex problems and ability to run scenarios is a must.
• A history of building 3-statement models from scratch, with scenario and sensitivity analysis, and of making structural changes to a model rather than only updating inputs.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles.
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel, and comfort with large datasets.
• Deep command of SaaS metrics and their drivers, with a point of view on which ones actually matter at our stage.
• Understanding of how financial data flows and experience reconciling systems.
• Working knowledge of SQL.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining your own approach to problems that arise without a defined scope.
• Experience as the finance point of contact for non-finance leaders, and the ability to make financial concepts clear to people who don't speak finance.
• Hands-on experience building AI workflows for finance work, including validating AI output and understanding where AI fails.
• Deep curiosity about our business, product, customers, competitors and industry trends.

Requirements

• You want to own a function, not contribute to one.
• You're comfortable being the only person on this work.
• You take quality seriously.
• You notice when something is slower or more manual than it needs to be, and you fix it without being asked.
• You feel confident communicating directly with department leaders about budget and headcount.
• You're excited to build.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $123,000 - $166,000 for most US-based locations.
• Robust benefits and participation in Netlify's equity plan.
• Compensation packages and ranges are subject to change and may be modified in the future.
