Job Summary

Payscale is looking for the newest member of its Finance team. We are a $200m ARR, highly profitable, SaaS company that needs a smart, motivated, rigorous, and diligent individual to join our FP&A group. This is a role where you will be “in it” and expected to get your hands dirty every day. You’ll join a team whose leaders have public company (including IPO) experience, who themselves report to a CFO that came up through the ranks of FP&A. Meaning that, the team knows what great looks like, and the bar will be high. We are looking for someone with thick skin who can get things done. If you don’t possess a sense of urgency, drive, and just-get-it-done-ness, this is the wrong role for you. If you are looking for a great environment to 1) learn (or learn more) about a SaaS business, 2) be put into a position where you can make a difference to the business every day, and 3) help drive a multi-hundred-million-dollar company to a successful financial exit in the next few years, then this will be a great role for you. We are looking for individuals who both know and have the capacity to learn—including a genuine interest in using AI to automate tasks, sharpen analyses, and drive efficiency across how we work. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of FP&A projects and partner cross-functionally with teams throughout the business.

You will be expected to interview, both technically and for fit, and your references will be checked. While you can be anywhere in the States, please note that the FP&A leadership is located on the West Coast of the United States. If you have read this far and believe that you have the right combination of attitude, aptitude, drive, and integrity, then let’s talk. And here’s the great thing about this role: you’ll be given exposure and responsibilities commensurate with how good your work product is, not necessarily how senior you are. What that means is that if you produce high quality materials and analyses, you’ll get to present them and participate in the decisions made around them.

Who You Are

• You are an inquisitive individual and like to understand how things work.
• AI-forward: you are genuinely interested in AI and eager to use it to automate manual tasks, improve workflows, and realize efficiencies in how FP&A work gets done.
• You have a strong bias towards b
