FP&A

Job description

Who We Are Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too. We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. Roboflow simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use Roboflow’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety, digitizing floor plans, preserving coral reef populations, guiding drone flight, and much more. Roboflow is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors. Roboflowers are passionate builders who value ownership, accountability, and a bias toward action. We're curious, hands-on with new tech, and prefer showing our work over talking about it. Many of us have a founder mindset and thrive in our high-autonomy environment. Role Overview We’re hiring an FP&A expert to serve as the primary strategic finance partner across Roboflow. You’ll own the planning, forecasting, and analytical infrastructure that powers decision-making as we scale. You’ll work closely with the department leads to drive company-wide planning and reporting processes, while providing the executive team and Board with the insights needed to manage growth, allocate capital, and hit our targets. This is a high-agency, technical role. We’re looking for an experienced operator who is fluent in SaaS metrics, comfortable building driver-based models from scratch, and confident translating complex financial data into clear, actionable recommendations for non-finance stakeholders. You will own the full data stack and tooling associated with our FP&A workflows, and we expect you to develop agents and automations to streamline your work. What You’ll Do • Own the annual budgeting, quarterly re-forecasting, and long-range planning processes, ensuring alignment between financial outcomes and business strategy • Build and maintain the company’s consolidated operating model and driver-based financial models for revenue, operating expenses, headcount, and cash • Partner with department leads to manage their budgets, understand their analytical needs, and identify opportunities for efficiency • Lead monthly close reviews: prepare budget vs. actual analysis, explain variances, and turn results into clear narratives for executive leadership • Track and report on SaaS and operational KPIs, such as ARR, NRR, CAC payback, magic number, and operating margins, and surface the insights behind the metrics • Prepare Board, investor, and executive materials: quarterly Board decks, operating reviews, and ad-hoc strategic analyses • Run scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and unit economics work to support capital allocation, pricing, and headcount decisions • Improve the FP&A tech stack and process: drive better data quality, automate reporting, and shorten the cycle time on planning and forecasting • Support strategic finance projects as they arise — capital raises, M&A diligence, pricing analysis, and other ad-hoc work for the leadership team What We’re Looking For • 5+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, with at least some of that experience inside a high-growth software company • Expert financial modeling skills: you can build a complex, dynamic, driver-based model from a blank sheet and you have strong opinions about model structure, auditability, and clarity • Deep fluency in SaaS metrics and unit economics • Strong understanding of GAAP accounting fundamentals and how they connect to FP&A outputs • Demonstrated business partnership skill: you can sit with a non-finance leader, understand their function, and help them make better decisions through analysis • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to and being challenged by the executive team and Board • High ownership and bias to action; comfortable defining and driving outcomes without supervision in an environment that is still building out process and systems • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field Recommended additions • Experience at a venture-backed software company between Series B and IPO scale • MBA, CPA, CFA, or FPAC certification • Informed opinions on working with FP&A planning tools and BI tools • SQL fluency and comfort working directly with data in BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar • Experience supporting capital raises, Board reporting, and M&A diligence • Familiarity with PLG and developer-first business models, professional services revenue, or hardware-software hybrid economics What Success Looks Like • The annual plan, quarterly forecasts, and monthly close packages are reliable, trusted, and timely • Department leaders understand their budgets, goals, and opportunities • The executive team and Board have a clear, current view of company performance and the operational drivers behind the numbers • Variance commentary explains what happened, why, and what we’re doing about it — not just the math • SaaS metrics and KPIs are calculated consistently, derived from a single source of truth, and easy for the business to consume • Strategic decisions on pricing, hiring, capital allocation, and investments are supported by rigorous, well-structured analysis • FP&A becomes a trusted partner across the company, not a reporting function Where You'll Work Roboflow is distributed across the US and Europe.
