Mixpanel is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform trusted by over 29,000 companies. The company is seeking a Strategic Finance Associate to serve as a domain owner within the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team, based in the San Francisco Bay Area (hybrid).
In this role, you will act as a trusted advisor to functional leaders across the business, owning the end-to-end financial planning process for the Go-To-Market (GTM) domain. You will drive analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions and design scalable planning processes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting the complete financial planning process for GTM, from brief to delivery, setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms
- Defining 6–12 month financial strategy for the 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 to support high-confidence decision-making
- Supporting the design and improvement of planning processes, tooling, and data definitions to reduce rework and raise financial output quality organization-wide
- Supporting cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and crisp financial narratives
- Partnering 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 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 those decisions with constantly improving financial models.
Requirements:
- 3–5 years of FP&A or Strategic Finance experience at a B2B SaaS company
- Ability to support the design of planning processes and frameworks (not just operate within them) and 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
- Strong experience supporting GTM and partnering with senior functional leaders on budget strategy and investment decisions
- Strong SQL skills and experience 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
