Finance Manager (Corporate Finance) - Netlify

About the Team

Netlify’s Finance team builds the financial foundation that helps the company plan, operate, and make informed decisions. The team owns our operating model, management reporting, budgeting and planning, and the company-level metrics leadership uses to understand performance and make tradeoffs.

As Finance Manager, you’ll own the core corporate finance cycle—from monthly reporting and forecasting to planning, scenario analysis, and KPI reporting—and help shape how those processes evolve as Netlify scales. This is a hands-on role with meaningful room to improve how the function operates: strengthening the models and insights behind business decisions while using AI, automation, and better tooling to make Finance faster, more scalable, and less dependent on manual work.

What You'll Do

• Drive the monthly reporting cadence: updating operating models, variance analysis, and the management reporting package with actionable insights for leadership.
• Take full responsibility for the 3-statement operating model and driver-based forecast, including structural changes to how the model is built as the business scales.
• Help drive the annual planning process, including planning templates, scenario models, and turning strategic priorities into plan assumptions and targets.
• Build and maintain the company-level KPI and metrics layer (ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC payback, Rule of 40) and explain monthly movements.
• Build scenario and sensitivity models leadership uses to make capital and headcount decisions.
• Own department-level budget tracking and serve as the standing point of contact for department leaders on budget, headcount, and software spend.
• Automate manual work across close and forecast cycles using AI and better tooling to reduce cycle times.
• Partner with GTM leadership on sales planning and KPI tracking.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, including experience at a SaaS or usage-based business. Investment banking, consulting, or private equity background preferred; strong modeling and scenario planning skills are required.
• Proven track record of building 3-statement models from scratch with scenario and sensitivity analysis, as well as making structural model updates.
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles.
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets.
• Deep command of SaaS metrics, their drivers, and their relevance at different growth stages.
• Understanding of financial data flow and experience reconciling systems.
• Working knowledge of SQL.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining approaches to open-ended problems.
• Experience serving as the finance lead for non-finance business partners with clear communication skills.
• Hands-on experience building and validating AI workflows for finance tasks.
• Deep curiosity about Netlify's business, product, customers, competitors, and industry trends.

This Role Is a Great Fit If

• You want to own and redesign a function, including the monthly close, operating model, and planning cycle.
• You are comfortable working independently without junior analyst support.
• You hold yourself to high-quality variance analysis that provides actionable business insights.
• You proactively identify and automate manual or slow processes.
• You feel confident communicating directly with department leaders about budget and headcount.
• You are excited to build and improve reporting, tooling, and automation infrastructure from the ground up.
