Job Description

Join Cockroach Labs as the Director of FP&A, where you'll reimagine the FP&A function and lead it into the next era of finance. Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll transform the function into an AI-native intelligence hub, own long-range strategic planning, and serve as a strategic finance partner to the executive team. You'll also lead a small, high-impact FP&A team and partner cross-functionally with R&D, GTM, and G&A leadership.

  • Reimaginer le modèle opérationnel de la fonction FP&A, en la transformant d'une équipe de reporting et d'analyse en un hub d'intelligence native à l'IA.
  • Posséder la planification stratégique à long terme, en construisant un modèle financier à long terme qui soutient la prochaine phase de croissance de l'entreprise.
  • Diriger le processus de planification et de prévision à l'échelle de l'entreprise, en le reconstruisant pour l'ère de l'IA.
  • Strong familiarity with the modern AI-enabled FP&A tooling landscape and the judgment to know what to build, buy, or integrate
  • Fluency with recurring and consumption-based revenue models and the metrics that drive them — ARR, net and gross retention, cohort economics, payback — or clear evidence you'll get there fast
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in finance, spanning investment banking, private equity, and/or FP&A at a high-growth company, with a strong foundation in financial modeling and analysis. We're open to candidates earlier in their career with particularly strong investment banking or transaction experience, provided they bring exceptional modeling speed and fluency with modern AI tools
  • A track record of driving AI or technology-led transformation of a finance function. Not just using AI tools, but redesigning how the work gets done
  • Exceptional executive presence and ability to translate machine-generated intelligence into human narrative at the executive and board level
  • A strong ownership instinct and a bias toward speed. You take problems across the finish line without being asked twice, and you'd rather land a good answer this week than a perfect one next month
  • Curiosity and conviction about where AI is taking the finance function, and the ability to bring others along with that vision
  • Strong financial modeling, scenario analysis, and integrated three-statement forecasting skills, with a clear point of view on how AI makes each faster and more dynamic
  • A genuine preference for staying close to the work, including building models and analysis yourself, not just directing a larger team
  • Experience building and presenting board-level and investor-facing financial materials
