We're hiring an FP&A Analyst to own operating expense planning and compensation analytics across the business. You'll be the financial partner to functional leaders on headcount, hiring plans, and discretionary spend — and the analytical backbone behind how we benchmark, structure, and scale our compensation programs. This is a high-visibility role that touches the AOP, board materials, and every major workforce decision the company makes.

• Own the OPEX forecast across G&A, R&D, S&M, and Customer Success — partnering with department heads on monthly forecast updates, variance analysis, and reforecast cycles

• Build and maintain the company-wide headcount model, including hiring plans, attrition assumptions, fully-loaded cost build-ups, and ratio analysis (e.g., R&D as % of revenue, S&M efficiency)

• Lead compensation benchmarking by leveraging market data sources (Radford, Lattice) to ensure roles are competitively positioned across base, bonus, equity, and OTE

• Partner with People Ops on annual merit cycles, promotion rounds, and new-hire offer guardrails — including impact modeling on the P&L

• Analyze sales compensation plan design and accrual against quota attainment, working closely with the GTM finance lead on quota setting and plan economics

• Support board and investor reporting with workforce metrics, OPEX trend analysis, and benchmarking against SaaS/AI peers

• Build self-serve dashboards in Domo and our financial model so leaders can monitor spend and headcount in real time

• Contribute to fundraising and M&A diligence workstreams, particularly around cost structure, synergy modeling, and compensation harmonization

• 3-6 years of FP&A experience, ideally with meaningful time at a high-growth SaaS company; investment banking, consulting, or Big 4 backgrounds welcome

• Strong technical foundation: advanced Excel, comfort with financial modeling, and familiarity with BI tools (Domo, Looker, Tableau)

• Working knowledge of SaaS unit economics and operating metrics (Rule of 40, CAC, magic number, Adj EBITDA)

• Experience with compensation benchmarking data and frameworks; understanding of how equity (ISOs) and variable comp flow through the P&L

• Sharp analytical instincts paired with the communication skills to influence non-finance leaders

• Comfort operating in ambiguity and a bias toward building scalable processes

• Bonus: experience with NetSuite, Adaptive Planning, or similar EPM tools; prior exposure to legal tech or vertical SaaS
