Job Description

Netlify is the most popular way to build, deploy, and scale modern web applications, empowering everyone from fast moving solo developers to enterprise teams.

Responsibilities

• - Own the monthly reporting cycle end to end - actuals load, budget-vs-actuals, variance commentary, and the management reporting package providing actionable insights and explanations.
• - Maintain and run the 3-statement operating model and driver-based forecast, including reforecast mechanics and scenario updates.
• - Own headcount and software/vendor expense forecasting, and track actuals against approved budget throughout the month.
• - Maintain the company-level KPI and metrics layer - ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, Rule of 40 - including data integrity and the reporting built on top of it.
• - Own Pigment model hygiene, integrations, and report building, keeping the system reliable and well-structured as our source of truth.
• - Build and maintain department-level budget tracking reports, and support department leaders with regular coverage of budget, headcount, and software spend.
• - Partner with GTM leadership on sales team planning and KPI tracking, serving as a reliable point of contact for spend and headcount questions.
• - Drive automation of manual work in the monthly close and forecast cycles using AI and tooling improvements, with measurable reduction in cycle time.
• - Document processes so they're repeatable, auditable, and not dependent on any one person.
• - Build internal tooling to improve financial reporting and budget workflows, moving the team off spreadsheet-dependent processes over time.

Required Skills

• - A history of building and maintaining 3-statement financial models with scenario planning and sensitivity analysis.
• - Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles.
• - Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel, and comfort working with large datasets and formula-heavy models.
• - Deep command of SaaS metrics and their drivers - ARR, NRR, CAC payback, gross margin, Rule of 40 - and experience in a SaaS or usage-based business.
• - Demonstrated ability to own a deliverable independently and produce output that is clear, accurate, and ready for leadership without rework.
• - A consistent drive to improve workflows - you look at a manual process and want to fix it.
• - Self-motivation and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines without close oversight.
• - Curiosity and a strong willingness to figure things out independently, especially in ambiguous or underdocumented areas.
• - Working knowledge of SQL is a plus - we'll build from there.
