Senior Financial Analyst at Netlify

Netlify: Senior Financial Analyst

Headquarters: Remote Source: weworkremotely

About the Team

Netlify's Finance team is responsible for the financial infrastructure that keeps the business running with clarity, managing the operating model, monthly reporting, budget management, and the KPI layer that leadership relies on to make decisions. We are looking for this role to own that corporate finance cadence, and beyond that, to help reimagine what that cycle looks like in the age of AI. Netlify is leading the change of how software gets built with AI, and we believe our own finance function should be transformed the same way. If you're excited about owning critical financial processes and then rebuilding them to be faster, smarter, and more automated, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• 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.

What You'll Bring

• Several years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or private equity, with direct exposure to the recurring corporate finance cycle.
• 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.

This Role is a Great Fit If

• You're energized by owning a process, not just contributing to it.
• You take quality seriously and provide variance explanations that are actually useful to business leaders.
• You're improvement-focused by default and act without waiting to be asked.
• You thrive in an environment where the work is real and the expectations are high, but the team is collaborative.
• You feel confident communicating directly with department leaders about budget and headcount.
• You're excited by the opportunity to build and improve financial tooling and reporting.
• You're drawn to companies building at the edge of what's technically possible.

Our applications will close on Monday, August 17 at 9am ET.
