Business Partnership
- Act as a trusted finance partner for leaders across Sales, Product & Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and other General & Administrative functions, providing analysis and challenging assumptions
- Translate financial performance into clear, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders, influencing decisions rather than merely reporting them
- Partner with budget owners to build and challenge their plans, pressure-testing assumptions and holding them accountable to forecast and budget
- Support headcount and workforce planning, modelling the financial impact of hiring decisions across departments
- Monitor and explain performance against key SaaS and operational metrics (e.g., ARR, churn/retention, gross margin, CAC, and unit economics), proactively flagging risks and opportunities to relevant business leaders
- Develop strong cross-functional relationships to ensure finance is embedded early in planning and decision-making, rather than consulted retroactively
