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 (General & Administrative) functions and driving the analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions. This is not an execution-only role—you will design scalable planning processes, build financial models that inform strategy, and influence cross-functional decisions without direct authority.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning the complete financial planning cycle for G&A teams, from brief through delivery, establishing quality standards and accountability mechanisms
- Defining 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators
- Building business cases for major investments with clear assumptions, risk quantification, and second-order effects analysis
- Designing and improving planning processes, tooling, and data definitions to reduce rework and raise financial output quality across the organization
- Leading cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale
- Partnering with functional budget owners to ensure data quality, metric consistency, and alignment on assumptions
The FP&A team at Mixpanel enables the company's financial success by creating visibility into financial outcomes, running tight financial reporting processes with executive leadership, delivering insights that drive strategic decisions, and identifying key trends to support long-term growth.
Mixpanel is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform, trusted by more than 29,000 companies. 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, ideally 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 FP&A tools (Pigment preferred)
