SafelyYou is seeking a Director of Financial Planning and Analysis to own and shape the financial planning function at a pivotal growth stage. Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, you will be the primary architect of how the company plans, forecasts, and measures financial performance across a business with both SaaS and hardware dimensions.
Key responsibilities include leading annual and mid-year budget processes across all functions, developing long-range financial plans that connect strategy to operating assumptions, and building robust pipeline and sales forecast models. You will partner with sales, HR, and operations to support headcount planning and evaluate resource allocation trade-offs. You'll maintain risk and opportunity trackers, build SaaS and hardware-specific forecasting models incorporating ARR, net revenue retention, churn, and inventory dynamics.
You will design and own the monthly management reporting package for leadership and quarterly board decks, establish a single source of truth for key metrics, and build dashboards providing real-time visibility into business performance. You'll assess the FP&A technology landscape, identify best-in-class tools, and drive automation and efficiency. Your role includes translating financial variances into root cause analysis with clear operating implications and connecting findings to recommended actions.
This is a director-level individual contributor role with the understanding that as the function matures, external or internal resources could be added to build out a small team over the next few years. You will work directly with the CEO, COO, and department heads to ensure financial clarity drives better resource allocation, faster decision-making, and stronger operating discipline.
Required experience: 7+ years of progressive FP&A experience with at least 3 years in a senior or lead role. Must have SaaS experience with recurring revenue metrics (ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, gross margin), experience with hardware or physical product components (COGS, installation economics, inventory), and startup or high-growth environment experience. You need exceptional financial modeling capability, strong command of SaaS metrics and unit economics, and expert-level proficiency in both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel.
