State

New York, NY

Specialism

SaaS

Compensation

$180,000 - $200,000

We’re partnering with a high-growth AI SaaS company on the search for their first dedicated Director of FP&A. The business is growing 70-100% YoY and is now building the financial infrastructure needed to support the next phase of scale toward $100M+ ARR.

The acting finance leader built the FP&A foundation while also stepping into a broader executive finance role, and now needs someone who can take the keys, level up the function, and operate as a genuine strategic finance partner to leadership and the Board.

The company combines strong growth with disciplined economics and the environment is highly execution-oriented: lean teams, high accountability, low ego, and a genuine focus on using data to drive decisions rather than create noise.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own the company’s planning cadence across budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, and board reporting
  • Build and refine financial models tied to growth scenarios, hiring plans, capital allocation, and operational performance
  • Create more structure and visibility around KPIs, forecasting accuracy, and reporting timelines as the business scales toward $100M+ ARR
  • Develop standardized dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into growth drivers, pipeline health, retention trends, and operational performance
  • Lead preparation of board materials and executive reporting, turning complex financial and operational data into actionable recommendations
  • Partner closely with GTM leadership on territory planning, pipeline analytics, sales productivity, and broader go-to-market strategy
  • Improve the connection between accounting, operations, and FP&A to shorten the gap between close and actionable insight
  • Drive implementation of FP&A tooling and continue building scalable reporting and planning infrastructure
  • Help establish common definitions, metrics, and operating rhythms across teams to create greater alignment and decision-making clarity
  • Operate as a strategic thought partner to leadership, bringing commercial insight and a clear point of view rather than simply reporting numbers

What we’re looking for:

  • Investment banking background with advanced financial modeling skills
  • B2B enterprise SaaS experience (planned around 12+ month sales cycles)
  • Experience in a growth stage company and, ideally, during the journey from $50M to $200M
  • Prior ownership of board reporting cycles and executive-level forecasting
  • Deep GTM finance experience is highly preferred
  • Strong commercial instincts and the ability to communicate real business insights, not just numbers
  • Hands-on, self-sufficient operator who thrives in lean, fast-moving environments
