Mixpanel is seeking a Senior Strategic Finance Associate to serve as a domain owner within the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team. This hybrid role is based in either the San Francisco Bay Area or New York City.
You will act as a trusted advisor to functional leaders across the business, owning the end-to-end financial planning process for G&A and driving the analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions. The FP&A team enables Mixpanel's ongoing financial success by creating visibility into financial outcomes, running tight financial reporting processes with executive leadership, and delivering insights that inform strategic decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end financial planning process for G&A teams, setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms.
- Define 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators.
- Build business cases for major investments with clear assumptions, risk quantification, and second-order effects.
- Design and improve planning processes, tooling, and data definitions that reduce rework and raise the quality of financial outputs organization-wide.
- Lead cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and crisp financial narratives.
- Partner with functional budget owners to ensure data quality, metric consistency, and alignment on assumptions.

The company has raised $277M from prominent investors including Andreessen-Horowitz, Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Bain Capital. Mixpanel's event-based data analytics platform helps teams see what's working, diagnose what's not, and decide what to build next.
Requirements:
- 5–8 years of FP&A or Strategic Finance experience with focus on G&A in high-growth SaaS, with demonstrated ownership of a planning domain end-to-end.
- Proven ability to design planning processes and frameworks—not just operate within them—and to influence decisions across teams without direct authority.
- Expert-level financial modeling skills; fluent in SaaS unit economics, driver-based forecasting, 3-statement modeling, and scenario/sensitivity analysis.
- Expertise across G&A; experience partnering with senior functional leaders on budget strategy and investment decisions.
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with BI tools, FP&A platforms, and ERP systems; comfortable specifying data needs and improving data quality upstream.
- Excellent communication skills—ability to distill complex financial analysis into crisp narratives tailored to executive audiences.
- BS/BA in Economics, Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CFA a plus.
- Experience with Pigment, Anaplan, or similar tool (ideally Pigment).
