What You'll Do:

    • Own the OPEX forecast across G&A, R&D, S&M, and Customer Success — partnering with department heads on monthly forecast updates, variance analysis, and reforecast cycles

    • Build and maintain the company-wide headcount model, including hiring plans, attrition assumptions, fully-loaded cost build-ups, and ratio analysis (e.g., R&D as % of revenue, S&M efficiency)

    • Lead compensation benchmarking by leveraging market data sources (Radford, Lattice) to ensure roles are competitively positioned across base, bonus, equity, and OTE

    • Partner with People Ops on annual merit cycles, promotion rounds, and new-hire offer guardrails — including impact modeling on the P&L

    • Analyze sales compensation plan design and accrual against quota attainment, working closely with the GTM finance lead on quota setting and plan economics

    • Support board and investor reporting with workforce metrics, OPEX trend analysis, and benchmarking against SaaS/AI peers

    • Build self-serve dashboards in Domo and our financial model so leaders can monitor spend and headcount in real time

    • Contribute to fundraising and M&A diligence workstreams, particularly around cost structure, synergy modeling, and compensation harmonization

What You'll Need:

    • 3-6 years of FP&A experience, ideally with meaningful time at a high-growth SaaS company; investment banking, consulting, or Big 4 backgrounds welcome

    • Strong technical foundation: advanced Excel, comfort with financial modeling, and familiarity with BI tools (Domo, Looker, Tableau)

    • Working knowledge of SaaS unit economics and operating metrics (Rule of 40, CAC, magic number, Adj EBITDA)

    • Experience with compensation benchmarking data and frameworks; understanding of how equity (ISOs) and variable comp flow through the P&L

    • Sharp analytical instincts paired with the communication skills to influence non-finance leaders

    • Comfort operating in ambiguity and a bias toward building scalable processes

    • Bonus: experience with NetSuite, Adaptive Planning, or similar EPM tools; prior exposure to legal tech or vertical SaaS
