Netlify's Finance team is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to own the corporate finance cadence and drive transformation of financial processes through AI and automation. This role is central to the financial infrastructure that enables leadership decision-making across the organization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the complete monthly reporting cycle: actuals loading, budget-vs-actuals analysis, variance commentary, and management reporting packages with actionable insights
- Maintain and operate the 3-statement financial model and driver-based forecasting, including reforecasting mechanics and scenario planning
- Manage headcount and software/vendor expense forecasting, tracking actuals against approved budgets throughout the month
- Maintain the company-level KPI and metrics layer (ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, Rule of 40), ensuring data integrity and reporting accuracy
- Own Pigment model hygiene, integrations, and report building as the source of truth
- Build and maintain department-level budget tracking reports; support department leaders with regular budget, headcount, and software spend coverage
- Partner with GTM leadership on sales team planning and KPI tracking
- Drive automation of manual work in monthly close and forecast cycles using AI and tooling improvements, with measurable cycle time reduction
- Document processes to ensure repeatability, auditability, and independence from individual contributors
- Build internal tooling to improve financial reporting and budget workflows, reducing spreadsheet dependency
Required Experience:
- Several years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or private equity with direct exposure to recurring corporate finance cycles
- Proven ability to build and maintain 3-statement financial models with scenario planning and sensitivity analysis
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles
- Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel with large datasets and formula-heavy models
- Deep command of SaaS metrics and drivers; experience in SaaS or usage-based business models
- Demonstrated ability to own deliverables independently and produce clear, accurate output ready for leadership
- Consistent drive to improve workflows and eliminate manual processes
- Self-motivation and ability to manage competing priorities without close oversight
- Curiosity and willingness to figure things out independently in ambiguous areas
- Working knowledge of SQL is a plus
Ideal Candidate:
- Energized by owning processes end-to-end, not just contributing to tasks
- Takes quality seriously and understands the difference between technically accurate and genuinely useful variance explanations
- Improvement-focused by default; notices inefficiencies and acts without being asked
- Thrives in collaborative, non-hierarchical environments with high expectations
- Confident communicating directly with department leaders about budget and headcount
- Excited about building and improving financial infrastructure, not just maintaining it
- Drawn to companies building at the edge of technical possibility
