- Build and own the forecasting, reporting, and analytical infrastructure for self-serve, this is largely net-new work, so you'll be defining what good looks like.
- Analyze the self-serve funnel end-to-end: from top-of-funnel acquisition through activation, conversion, expansion, and retention. Identify where the business is leaking value and where the biggest opportunities are.
- Own self-serve unit economics and provide perspective on key levers, pricing, packaging, churn reduction, and growth investments.
- Use SQL and other tools to self-serve data and build analyses that drive decisions, rather than relying on pre-built reports.
- Proactively surface trends, risks, and opportunities to senior leadership. Don't wait for someone to ask the question, be the person who sees the issue first.
- Partner with product and engineering teams to understand how product changes impact financial outcomes, and bring a financial lens to product investment decisions.
Requirements
- 6-8+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or a related analytical role, ideally at a product-led or self-serve SaaS company.
- Deep understanding of the dynamics of a self-serve business: churn, contraction, expansion, net new revenue, and the full funnel from visitor to signup to paid conversion to upgrade.
- Proficient in SQL and comfortable pulling and manipulating data yourself rather than waiting on a BI team or data analyst to get you what you need.
- Operated effectively in environments where ownership is distributed; ability to build relationships and drive alignment across product, marketing, engineering, and finance.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building something from scratch, new processes, new analyses, new ways of looking at the business.
- Strong communicator who can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for both finance leadership and cross-functional business partners.
- Good judgment and a bias toward surfacing issues and opportunities proactively, not waiting to be asked.
