Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis - Remote
Our FP&A team is a decision function, not a reporting function. We believe planning and analysis has no intrinsic value on its own; it is only valuable if you connect "what happened?" to "why?" to "so what should we do?" The test is simple: if the business isn't doing something different because of your work, the work isn't done.
We’re looking for someone strong in fundamentals (modeling, forecasting, reporting) who wants to apply those skills as a true finance business partner: supporting budgets, headcount, vendor spend, strategic analysis, and investment decisions. As a capital allocator, you’ll help deploy resources where they create the most value, and you’ll see your impact directly in the decisions we make and the results we deliver.
You’ll get high exposure, partnering directly with executives and business leaders, and you’ll report to and learn from the SVP of Finance & Investor Relations, whose background spans hedge fund investing, investment banking, strategic finance, and FP&A. You’ll work alongside a team that steps in for each other, shares credit, and cares more about getting to the right answer than who got there first. Most importantly, our work supports a real mission; we exist to fight fraud, protecting people and institutions from identity theft, account takeover, and financial crime. The business is growing, because the problem is urgent, and being exacerbated by AI-generated fraud attacks.

What You’ll Do (Essential Responsibilities)
- Own pieces of long-range planning, the Annual Operating Plan, and reforecasting. Model 'what needs to be true' scenarios, partner with business leads to set realistic but ambitious targets, challenge assumptions, and keep the forecast a live decision-making tool.
- Build and maintain driver-based forecasting models tied directly to business drivers.
- Work fluently in modern FP&A planning tools to update forecasts, manage budgets, and keep reporting accurate and current.
- Build dashboards and management reporting that give leaders self-service visibility into performance, budgets, and KPIs, plus monthly/quarterly outputs that explain what happened, why, and what's next.
- Drive performance reviews with business leaders. This is the feedback loop where FP&A shifts from reporting to coaching: review progress, surface issues, adapt plans, and make sure leaders feel supported and resourced to execute.
- Turn data into decisions. Identify trends, red flags, and recommend actions that drive revenue and margin.
- Support strategic and operating decisions with financial analysis: pricing, unit economics, ROI, a
