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, reporting to functional leaders across the business.
In this hybrid role based in the San Francisco Bay Area (with flexibility for New York City), you will own the end-to-end financial planning process for the Go-To-Market (GTM) domain and drive the analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions. You will act as a trusted advisor, designing scalable planning processes and delivering insights that inform strategic decisions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the complete financial planning cycle for GTM—from brief to delivery—establishing 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 to support high-confidence leadership decisions.
- Design and improve planning processes, tooling, and data definitions that reduce rework and raise the quality of financial outputs across the organization.
- Support cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and tailored financial narratives.
- 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 financial success by creating visibility into financial outcomes, running tight financial reporting processes with executive leadership, and delivering insights that drive strategic decisions. The team identifies key trends, builds constantly improving financial models, and guides the company through financial challenges while fueling growth opportunities.
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 functions 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 upstream data quality
- 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 preferred
