[Hiring] Senior Financial Analyst @BlueCat

Role Description

BlueCat is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to serve as the FP&A business partner to our Sales, Professional Services, Customer Success, and Marketing leaders. You will own the monthly financial rhythm for these functions (variance analysis, reforecasting, and stakeholder reviews), support Board reporting and commentary, and help leaders make better decisions with data.

You will also help us push FP&A beyond the P&L. This means building the commercial and unit-economics analytics our leaders and our PE sponsor increasingly expect, and finding smarter, AI-enabled ways to produce them. We are a PE-backed company modernizing how Finance works, and we want someone who is excited to experiment, challenge how things are done today, and help build the better way.

Key Responsibilities

• Commercial Business Partnership: Act as the trusted finance partner to the heads of Sales, PS, Customer Success, and Marketing.
• Monthly Variance Analysis & Stakeholder Reviews: Own monthly actual-vs-budget/forecast variance analysis for your functions.
• Forecasting & Reforecast: Lead the reforecast cycle for your functions, including headcount, variable costs, commissions, and program spend.
• Board & Executive Reporting: Prepare and support Board, sponsor, and executive reporting, including commentary, KPI packages, and ad hoc requests.
• Budget & Planning: Support the annual budget process with documented assumptions for your functions.
• Analytics Beyond the P&L: Build and maintain commercial and unit-economics metrics.
• Sales Compensation Support: Partner with Sales, RevOps, and Finance on commission plan analysis, cost modeling, and attainment tracking.
• Process Improvement & AI Enablement: Identify manual and inefficient workflows across FP&A and redesign them.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 4–6 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or business partnering; SaaS or technology company experience strongly preferred.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Highly responsive: you turn around questions and requests quickly.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills (required).
• Strong understanding of SaaS metrics and subscription economics.
• Proven ability to turn data into clear recommendations.
• Curiosity and a hands-on attitude toward AI and automation.
• Self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and takes ownership.
• Strong attention to detail, with sound judgment on what matters.

Requirements

• Experience with an FP&A/planning tool (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive) is a plus.
• Experience with an ERP (e.g., NetSuite) and CRM (e.g., Salesforce) is a plus.
• Experience using AI tools such as Claude to automate analysis and reporting is a plus.
• Experience with PE-backed or sponsor-reporting environments is a plus.

Benefits

• A Professional Development Budget
• Dedicated Wellness Days and Wellness Week
• A Lifestyle Spending Account
• An Employee Recognition Program
