UJET is an AI-powered contact center platform company seeking a Director of Financial Planning & Analysis to lead the FP&A function as the organization scales. This is a hands-on strategic role reporting to the CFO, responsible for financial planning architecture, forecasting, budget development, spend management, and investor reporting. Key responsibilities include: • Optimize financial planning infrastructure by replacing manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes with scalable, automated workflows and FP&A software solutions, including AI-native tools. • Support commercial strategy through advanced financial modeling of go-to-market efficiency, customer acquisition costs, and pricing/discount governance. • Partner with Revenue Operations, Marketing, and GTM teams to analyze and report on core SaaS metrics including LTV/CAC, CAC payback, retention, ARR cohort analysis, pipeline throughput, product profitability, and overall GTM efficiency. • Assist in capital strategy and execution, including investor communications, Board reporting packages, debt/equity financing diligence, and financial due diligence on M&A targets. • Drive enterprise efficiency by optimizing software, cloud, and AI stack investments, and refining OpEx spend to expand net margins. • Establish, track, and report on key operational performance metrics, translating financial data into actionable insights for leadership and the Board. • Collaborate with the accounting team on monthly close processes. • Act as a strategic change agent bridging Finance, GTM, and RevOps workflows, establishing consistent data governance and shared accountability for core SaaS metrics. • Standardize and document financial operating procedures to eliminate tribal knowledge and ensure scalability. The role requires in-office collaboration 2x weekly in Austin; relocation will not be considered. REQUIREMENTS: Minimum: • Progressive FP&A experience at Director or Manager level within enterprise SaaS, AI, or B2B software organizations. • Direct experience with advanced financial planning, forecasting cycles, and strategic GTM operational analysis. • Demonstrated mastery of SaaS financial metrics (LTV, CAC, ARR, NRR, GRR, Product Margins, Bookings, Billings, Revenue Recognition) and advanced quantitative financial modeling. • Hands-on experience leading finance systems transformations (e.g., implementing/overhauling Planful, NetSuite, or data warehouses) in high-growth environments—proactive process and systems architect, not maintenance-focused. • Currently living in Austin Metropolitan area. Desired: • BBA in Finance, Business, or Accounting, or equivalent. CPA, CFA, and/or MBA a plus. • Domain expertise within CCaaS, SaaS, or AI enterprise software operating and financial models. • Experience deploying predictive AI workflows and automation into internal FP&A and finance operations that have driven efficiency gains. • Prior experience managing finance structures through growth inflections from mid-scale ARR to enterprise scale, particularly where processes were immature or needed redesign.
