About the Team

Netlify's Finance team builds the financial foundation that helps the company plan, operate, and make informed decisions. The team owns our operating model, management reporting, budgeting and planning, and the company-level metrics leadership uses to understand performance and make tradeoffs.

As Senior Finance Manager, you'll own the corporate finance cycle and decide what it should become. That covers monthly reporting, the driver-based forecast, annual planning, scenario work, and the KPI layer, and it extends past running them well into bringing your experience to improve and innovate on our processes. This is a hands-on role with real latitude: you will work directly with senior leadership on capital, pricing, and headcount decisions, and will leverage AI to build better tooling and make Finance faster and less dependent on manual work.

What You'll Do

• Own the corporate finance cycle end to end, including the monthly reporting package, the driver-based forecast, annual planning, and scenario analysis, and redesign the parts that no longer hold up as we scale

• 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, decide what leadership measures as the business evolves, and carry a view on the trends driving each metric

• Drive market and competitor research to support pricing and packaging, capital allocation, and improve financial forecasting

• Communicate complex financial mechanics to people outside finance, and drive cross-functional decisions and leadership buy-in

• Set how budget management runs across departments, including the cadence and what a department leader is accountable for, rather than tracking it on their behalf

• 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

What You'll Bring

• 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; but strong modeling skills, ability to develop frameworks to solve complex problems and ability to run scenarios is a must

• Multiple annual planning cycles owned end to end

• 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 and formula-heavy models

• Comfort framing abstract business problems and creating frameworks to address them

• 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, with a point of view on which ones actually matter at our stage

• Working knowledge of SQL

• Hands-on experience building AI workflows other teams adopt, and a clear view on where the human checks belongs

• Experience presenting analysis and recommendations to executive staff, and a track record of driving org level impact

• Deep curiosity about our business, product, customers, competitors and industry trends

This Role Is a Great Fit If

• You want to own a function, not contribute to one. The corporate finance cycle would be yours to run and to redesign.

• You're comfortable being the only person on this work. There is no junior analyst supporting the role and no plan to add one. You will build it and run it yourself.

• You’re deeply curious about industry. You keep up to date with industry trends, research the competitive landscape, and you turn that into a recommendation rather than an observation.

• You notice when something is slower or more manual than it needs to be, and you fix it without being asked.

• You're excited to build. The tooling, the reporting layer, and the automation work are all genuinely open, and there is room to make this function structurally better.

Our applications will close on Friday, November 13th at 5pm CST
