[Hiring] Senior Strategic Finance Manager @Netlify

Role Description

As Senior Finance Manager, you'll own the corporate finance cycle and decide what it should become. This is a hands-on role with real latitude, working directly with senior leadership on capital, pricing, and headcount decisions.

• Own the corporate finance cycle end to end, including the monthly reporting package, the driver-based forecast, annual planning, and scenario analysis.
• Frame which scenarios are worth running ahead of capital, pricing, and headcount decisions, and bring a recommendation rather than a set of outputs.
• Lead the annual planning process across departments, from calendar and templates through consolidation and board-ready output.
• Lead cross-functional alignment on metric definitions, reporting dimensions, and financial data hygiene.
• Own the company-level KPI and metrics layer, deciding what leadership measures as the business evolves.
• Drive market and competitor research to support pricing and packaging, capital allocation, and improve financial forecasting.
• Communicate complex financial mechanics to people outside finance, driving cross-functional decisions and leadership buy-in.
• Set how budget management runs across departments, including the cadence and accountability of department leaders.
• Be a thought leader steering the finance function's AI operating standard and build the systems and agents to support it.
• Partner with Sales leadership on capacity model and KPI tracking.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, including several years at a SaaS or usage-based business.
• An investment banking, consulting, or private equity background preferred.
• Strong modeling skills and ability to develop frameworks to solve complex problems.
• Multiple annual planning cycles owned end to end.
• A history of building 3-statement models from scratch, with scenario and sensitivity analysis.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles.
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel skills, and comfort with large datasets and formula-heavy models.
• Deep system-level understanding of how financial data moves across source systems, the warehouse, and the planning and reporting layer.
• Deep command of SaaS metrics and their drivers.
• Working knowledge of SQL.
• Hands-on experience building AI workflows other teams adopt.
• Experience presenting analysis and recommendations to executive staff.
• Deep curiosity about our business, product, customers, competitors, and industry trends.

Requirements

• Comfort being the only person on this work; no junior analyst supporting the role.
• Ability to notice inefficiencies and fix them without being asked.
• Excitement to build tooling, reporting layers, and automation.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $150,000 - $208,000 for most US-based locations.
• Robust benefits and participation in Netlify's equity plan.
