Sr. Director, Corporate Finance

The Impact You’ll Have

We’re seeking a forward-thinking, hands-on finance executive to lead our Corporate Finance function. This role serves as the nerve center of the finance organization, connecting the dots across the company, partnering closely with G&A leaders, and translating strategy into clear, actionable financial insight.

You will own the annual budgeting and forecasting cycle, corporate financial modeling and cash flow forecasting, and board reporting. You’ll partner closely with Strategy on the long-range plan, collaborate with Investor Relations on narrative development, and ensure strong operational rigor while driving the FP&A technology and AI roadmap. This is a highly visible role with significant influence over how the company allocates capital, measures performance, and tells its story to internal and external stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and goal setting:
  Own company-wide annual planning and rolling forecast processes. Ensure clarity, strong communication, and disciplined operating rhythms so “the trains run on time,” while enabling effective goal setting and decision-making.
• Board & executive reporting:
  Drive recurring board and sponsor reporting cycles. Produce materials that are actionable, insightful, and easy to digest, clearly highlighting trends, risks, opportunities, and key decision points.
• Corporate modeling & cash flow forecasting:
  Own the corporate financial model, including full three-statement modeling. Consolidate the overall financial story, look around corners to identify potential issues, and partner with Treasury on short- and long-term cash flow forecasting.
• Partner with G&A leadership (CFO/COO, HR, Legal, Strategy):
  Act as a trusted advisor on budgets, investments, and resource allocation across G&A functions.
• Cross-functional finance leadership:
  Partner with FP&A, Accounting, Treasury, IR, and Strategy to surface tradeoffs, escalate key decisions, and deliver holistic financial narratives and recommendations.
• Finance technology & AI roadmap:
  Own the EPM and broader finance systems roadmap. Partner with internal teams and external vendors, including AI-focused firms, to modernize planning, reporting, and analytics to drive faster insights and better outcomes.
• Build and lead a high-performing team:
  Recruit, coach, and develop top talent. Establish crisp operating cadences for planning cycles, monthly close narratives, decision memos, and board-ready deliverables.

What You Bring

  15+ years of progressive finance experience with significant depth in Corporate Finance. Background in investment banking or strategy consulting strongly preferred.
• Education:
  BA/BS required; MBA and/or CPA/CFA preferred.
• Executive communication & storytelling:
  Exceptional ability to distill complex analyses into clear, compelling messages for executives and boards. Proven partner across functions who drives alignment and informed decision-making.
• SaaS expertise:
  Deep understanding of SaaS business models and metrics, including ARR mechanics, NRR/GRR, cohort analysis, and pricing and packaging strategies.
• Scaled tech experience:
  Experience in large-scale, product-led technology companies (e.g., Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Stripe, Intuit, or similar).
• Public company or PE-backed ownership mindset:
  Comfortable operating within board cadences, investor narratives, and high-accountability environments.
• Executive presence with constructive challenge:
  Ability to influence, simplify complexity, and raise the bar—bringing calm, clarity, and rigor under pressure.
• Systems & analytics fluency:
  Strong command of enterprise planning and reporting tools with a data-driven mindset.
• AI-curious and future-oriented:
  Passion for leveraging AI and emerging technologies to enhance financial insight, productivity, and outcomes.
