About the role

  • Be the trusted enterprise GTM cross-functional partner — own standing finance cadences with global enterprise GTM team; provide realtime insights and hold GTM leadership accountable to financial decision making.
  • Own enterprise GTM financial modeling and BvAs end-to-end — build and maintain the GTM forecast, ARR model, and GTM P&L, partnering closely with GTM Leadership and RevOps.
  • Own enterprise quote capacity and quota attainment modeling end-to-end - build and maintain the capacity planning model, attainment model, and commissions calculations, partnering closely with GTM Leadership and RevOps.
  • Be the trusted Talent and People cross-functional partner — own standing finance cadences with Talent and People teams to drive headcount, bands, and people costs decision-making.
  • Drive headcount and OPEX planning — own headcount approvals and benchmarking, payroll forecasting, and vendor-level OPEX forecasting across the business.
  • Partner on strategic planning — contribute to the Long Range Plan, compensation strategy, and new market investment frameworks alongside the broader Finance team.
  • Build decision-support analyses — turn ambiguous business questions into structured recommendations on investments, pricing, market entry, and resource allocation.
  • Be a trusted cross-functional partner — own standing finance cadences with S4B, People, and other functional partners; show up with accurate numbers and a clear point of view.

Requirements

  • 4-7 years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or a comparable analytical role — with prior startup or high-growth tech experience strongly preferred.
  • Advanced financial modeling skills (Excel or Google Sheets): driver-based forecasting, scenario analysis, sensitivity tables, and the ability to build clean, auditable models from scratch.
  • Strong AI tool enablement, able to work with frontier models and AI tools and validate the fidelity of the output.
  • Direct experience supporting full planning cycles: annual operating plan, quarterly re-forecasts, and board or investor-facing materials.
  • Fluency in SaaS and B2B metrics — ARR, NRR, LTV/CAC, payback period, quota capacity, and unit economics are part of your daily vocabulary.
  • Strong written communication: structures analyses so non-finance stakeholders can read, review, and act on them without a translator.
  • High ownership and high integrity — treats models and processes as yours to improve, not just maintain; handles confidential data with discretion.
Benefits
  • Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time: we're growing very quickly, we've most recently raised our Series C from some of the top investors in the valley, and we've achieved product-market fit in our initial markets. You'd join at a magical time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.
  • Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with: we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Speak to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better. We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply.
  • Global in nature: We're live in over 40 countries and launching in a number of new markets soon. We have dedicated offices in San Francisco, Ljubljana, Seoul, and Tokyo, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to users in each of these regions on a regular basis as well as travel.
  • Impact people's lives in a major way: Learning a language is one of the single most life-changing skills one can learn, and right now 99% of people never achieve their goal because the process is broken. We’re helping millions of people achieve their goals and improve their lives.
