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 the San Francisco Bay Area or New York City and reports into the FP&A leadership.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end financial planning process for G&A teams, setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms. You will define the 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators. You will build business cases for major investments with clear assumptions, risk quantification, and second-order effects, giving leadership the analytical foundation to make high-confidence decisions.
Key responsibilities include designing and improving planning processes, tooling, and data definitions that reduce rework across teams and raise the quality of financial outputs organization-wide. You will lead cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and crisp financial narratives tailored to each audience. You will partner with functional budget owners to ensure data quality, metric consistency, and alignment on assumptions, acting as a cultural anchor for data-driven decision-making.
The FP&A team enables Mixpanel's ongoing financial success by creating visibility into financial outcomes, running tight financial reporting processes with executive leadership, delivering keen insights to support strategic decisions, and identifying key trends to support these decisions with constantly improving financial models.
Mixpanel is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform, trusted by more than 29,000 companies to help understand how people use the products they build. The company has raised $277M from prominent investors including Andreessen-Horowitz, Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Bain Capital.
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—can 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)
