Senior Strategic Finance Manager (Corporate Finance)

The posting, as Netlify wrote it

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 Senior Finance Manager, you'll own the corporate finance cycle and decide what it should become. That covers monthly reporting, the driver-based forecast, annual planning, scenario work, and the KPI layer, and it extends past running them well into bringing your experience to improve and innovate on our processes. This is a hands-on role with real latitude: you will work directly with senior leadership on capital, pricing, and headcount decisions, and will leverage AI to build better tooling and make Finance faster and less dependent on manual work.

What You'll Do

• Own the corporate finance cycle end to end, including the monthly reporting package, the driver-based forecast, annual planning, and scenario analysis, and redesign the parts that no longer hold up as we scale
• Frame which scenarios are worth running ahead of capital, pricing, and headcount decisions, and bring a recommendation rather than a set of outputs
• Lead the annual planning process across departments, from calendar and templates through consolidation and board-ready output
• Lead cross-functional alignment on metric definitions, reporting dimensions and financial data hygiene
• Own the company-level KPI and metrics layer, decide what leadership measures as the business evolves, and carry a view on the trends driving each metric
• Drive market and competitor research to support pricing and packaging, capital allocation, and improve financial forecasting
• Communicate complex financial mechanics to people outside finance, and drive cross-functional decisions and leadership buy-in
• Set how budget management runs across departments, including the cadence and what a department leader is accountable for, rather than tracking it on their behalf
• Be a thought leader steering the finance function's AI operating standard and build the systems and agents to support it
• Partner with Sales leadership on capacity model and KPI tracking

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years in FP&A or strategic finance, including several years at a SaaS or usage-based business. An investment banking, consulting or private equity background preferred; but strong modeling skills, ability to develop frameworks to solve complex problems and ability to run scenarios is a must
• Multiple annual planning cycles owned end to end
• A history of building 3-statement models from scratch, with scenario and sensitivity analysis, and of making structural changes to a model rather than only updating inputs
• Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and core accounting principles
• Advanced Google Sheets or Excel, and comfort with large datasets and formula-heavy models
• Comfort framing abstract busi
