Job Description
Join Sentry, a fast-growing company in the software industry, as the Director of FP&A. In this hands-on leadership role, you will build and own the core financial planning and operating rhythms for the company, lead company-wide forecasting and planning, and serve as a trusted finance partner to leaders across the organization. You will report to the VP of Finance & Strategy and manage an FP&A Manager focused on company spend. This position offers competitive compensation, equity, and a range of benefits.
- Diriger et posséder les processus de prévision financière, de planification annuelle et de planification à long terme de l'entreprise, y compris le modèle financier consolidé.
- Établir un rythme opérationnel clair et répétable autour des prévisions, de la performance budgétaire, de l'analyse des écarts et de la communication des résultats financiers.
- Servir de partenaire financier de confiance pour les dirigeants de l'entreprise, en les aidant à comprendre leurs activités, à évaluer les compromis et à prendre de meilleures décisions d'allocation des ressources.
- Like being close to the details but know how to pull up and communicate what matters to executives
- Have high standards for accuracy and analytical rigor, but know when 90% today is more useful than 100% a week from now
- Believe great FP&A is as much about business partnership and judgment as it is about building models
- Want meaningful ownership and are comfortable operating with a high degree of independence in a fast-moving environment
- Are a self-sufficient builder who enjoys taking an ambiguous or underdeveloped process, creating structure around it, and making it work
- Enjoy creating simple, durable processes rather than adding complexity or bureaucracy
- Experience building and presenting exec-level materials
- Demonstrated experience designing or rebuilding elements of an FP&A/planning function — not just operating within one that already exists
- 8+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including leading planning/forecasting processes end to end; prior people-management experience preferred
- MBA or CPA a plus, not required
- Experience with NetSuite, Looker (or a comparable BI tool), and a modern planning/EPM platform (e.g. Adaptive Planning, Planful, Pigment, or Vareto); advanced Excel/Google Sheets
- Experience partnering with an accounting/controller function on close (BvA, accruals, variance analysis) without owning transactional accounting
- Not sure you meet every qualification? We encourage you to apply anyway. We're interested in people who are excited about the opportunity, have demonstrated an ability to learn quickly, drive change, and want to help us build a great finance function
