The Role We're looking for an FP&A Analyst to join our Finance team and own the financial modeling, forecasting, and reporting that informs how Rilla grows.

You'll collaborate closely with Finance leadership, Accounting, and cross-functional partners across Sales, Product, and Operations. Nothing here is inherited. You're building it all from scratch. Who You Are - A customer obsessive. Someone who deeply cares about delighting clients and solving their pains, not about vanity metrics. - An infinite learner. You are always looking to learn more and learn faster. You feel uneasy when you get complacent, and you’re constantly seeking discomfort. - A team player. You love giving and receiving feedback and learning and growing as a team. - Unafraid of failure. You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail because it means you get a new opportunity to learn more. - Affinity for the unconventional. You get a kick out of rejecting conventional wisdom. And you’re not afraid to try weird, crazy, and quite possibly stupid ideas. - Extremely focused. You practice extreme focus in everything you do. You’re always looking to prioritize your time and resources to maximum efficiency.

You'll need to make calls with imperfect information and own them. - You can move, think, act, and learn extremely fast Nice to Have - Experience at a high-growth startup or SaaS company - Hands-on exposure to ARR forecasting, churn analysis, and GTM performance metrics - Experience with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Mode) and/or financial systems (NetSuite, Adaptive, Anaplan) - Experience supporting recruiting and headcount planning at a scaling company - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field Don’t Work Here Please don't join if you're not excited about: 1.
