Role Description
As the Manager of Sales FP&A, you will be the primary architect of FiscalNote’s revenue engine and the "financial conscience" of the Sales organization. Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will sit at the intersection of Finance and Sales Operations, ensuring that every dollar of projected revenue is modeled with precision and every expense is optimized for the bottom line. This is a high-visibility role where you will own the Source of Truth for revenue metrics, build complex long-range models in Adaptive Planning, and partner directly with the SVP of Sales to design incentive structures that drive both growth and profitability.
