AlertMedia is seeking a Senior FP&A Manager to own the financial planning and forecasting function end-to-end, reporting to the VP of FP&A. This role serves as the technical expert in revenue forecasting, expense planning, and variance analysis, working directly with business partners to deliver clarity on financial performance and key drivers. You will own revenue (ARR) forecasting methodology and drive monthly reforecasting cycles. You'll build and maintain annual operating plan (AOP) financial models, consolidate departmental expense submissions, and construct bottom-up expense forecasts. Responsibilities include modeling headcount planning and operating expense plans across departments, conducting scenario planning and sensitivity analysis to stress-test business drivers and assumptions, and identifying opportunities to improve forecasting accuracy, process efficiency, and reporting workflows. On the variance analysis and business partnership side, you'll deliver detailed monthly budget-to-actual variance analysis with clear root-cause narratives and recommended actions. You'll work proactively with business leaders to understand drivers and provide targeted analytics support. You'll communicate headcount status and compensation dollars available to business partners, partner on understanding variances, and lead drafting of board reporting materials including financial narratives, charts, and commentary on key financial results. You are a strong analytical thinker with deep technical skills in financial modeling and reporting. You have proven experience owning financial planning and forecasting functions end-to-end in high-growth or PE-backed environments. You're comfortable diving into complexity—building models from scratch, working with data, and translating numbers into clear narratives. You're hands-on and operator-focused, owning work end-to-end and driving improvements when you identify better approaches.
