Role Description
We’re looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to further evolve the way we drive decision-making at Prismatic. You’ll report to the CFO, serving as the lead point of contact whenever we need to make a critical decision grounded in trusted data and analysis. This role will bring the unique vantage point of understanding company-wide data at a deep level to help drive strategy both at the entire company and individual team levels.
This is a foundational hire who will have a wide latitude to build processes and capabilities from scratch. You’ll work cross-functionally across the entire company to identify the data that is critical to evaluating key functions/processes, ensure that data’s accuracy, and generate/disseminate insights from that data to drive decision-making. You will sit within Finance, but will be a critical partner to every team across the company with high-frequency collaboration. This role is ideal for someone who’s comfortable owning ambiguity, wants to be the go-to analytical and strategic resource for an entire company, and is eager to develop a deep knowledge of what drives success in every function at a scaling SaaS company.
What you will do:
-
Own cross-functional KPI reporting, ensuring every team has accurate and timely visibility into how they’re performing, as well as proactively communicating key signals as they become apparent.
-
Lead ad hoc strategic planning efforts, partnering with leadership to evaluate new initiatives, market opportunities, and business tradeoffs.
-
Serve as the first responder for ad hoc analysis requests from stakeholders across the company, from the executive team to individual department leads.
-
Own the entire breadth of FP&A functions for the company, including Board and investor reporting, long- and short-term financial planning, variance analysis, and other financial reporting.
-
Ensure the integrity of the underlying data that reporting depends on, directly addressing or partnering with teams to fix quality issues at the source rather than patching them downstream.
-
Build, maintain, and continuously improve data models and reporting capabilities, leveraging AI to maintain ownership of more technical aspects of our data infrastructure.
-
Communicate findings clearly to non-financial audiences, translating data into recommendations that drive decisions.
Qualifications
-
3-5 years of experience spanning investment banking, private equity, or a similar high-rigor analytical background, combined with experience in FP&A or strategic finance at an operating company (ideally a high-growth SaaS or software startup).
-
Strong understanding of core SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR/GRR, CAC, LTV, magic number, burn multiple, rule of 40, etc.) and how they connect to the underlying business.
-
Excellent financial modeling skills — able to build models that are clean, well-structured, and hold up under scrutiny.
-
A proven track record in building processes/tooling from scratch, ideally utilizing AI to reliably accelerate development.
-
Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic thought partner to leadership by providing data with context and a viewpoint, not just reporting numbers.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analysis into clear takeaways for non-finance audiences.
-
Highly organized and responsive — capable of juggling multiple concurrent requests from different teams without dropping the ball on data quality or deadlines.
-
Comfortable operating independently in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
Requirements
-
Experience with dbt and Snowflake, or comparable modern data-stack tooling.
-
Experience at a company under ~100 employees, where you built reporting processes rather than inherited them.
-
Understanding of SQL.
-
Familiarity with BI/dashboarding tools.
-
Familiarity with FP&A tools.
