FP&A Lead

Role Description

Change.org is the world's largest platform for democracy, and we're hiring an FP&A Lead to give our leaders the financial clarity to invest boldly behind that mission. You'll own our financial planning and analysis end-to-end, building the reporting, models, and forecasts that leadership relies on to make decisions. This is a high-ownership role where you'll operate with real autonomy, not contributing to a cycle but running it. This role reports to the Director of FP&A and Business Intelligence.

Key Outcomes:

• Automate departmental and executive reporting, own end-to-end.
• Management reporting (departmental P&Ls, exec dashboards, monthly/board exhibits) runs on durable, repeatable, low-touch pipelines built — not manual rebuilds.
• Operates the full financial model with minimal oversight and high executive trust.
• Runs the model you architect — including the revenue line from BI — and owns the expense side outright: opex, margins, variance.
• Stress-tests assumptions and runs scenarios; you own the model and the final number.
• Architects AI-enabled FP&A workflows, systematically cuts manual effort and improves data quality.
• Strategic thought partner to leadership and budget owners.
• Partners directly with department leaders on spend — surfacing variances, flagging risks, and driving accountability through influence.
• Translates the numbers into decisions, turning variance and business-health analysis into clear, stakeholder-ready narratives.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in FP&A, finance, or analytical roles, with demonstrated ownership of full budgeting and forecasting cycles.
• Track record of building or materially improving FP&A processes, designing repeatable, scalable workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI to drive real output: accelerating analysis, building repeatable workflows, or self-teaching technical skills.
• Advanced spreadsheet modeling with scripting: VBA and/or Google Apps Script.
• Strong executive-facing communication: presenting to or supporting CFO, VP Finance, or C-suite.

Requirements

• End-to-end FP&A ownership: run budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and monthly reporting cycles with real accountability.
• Applied AI & technical fluency: use AI to drive real work, accelerating analysis, building automations.
• Systems thinking & process design: spot inefficiencies and design repeatable, scalable processes.
• Strategic financial storytelling: synthesize complex data into clear, leadership-ready narratives.
• Business partnering & executive presence: operate as a pragmatic, service-oriented partner with high trust.
• Self-direction & ownership: comfortable being the entire FP&A function, setting priorities, and operating with real autonomy.

Benefits

• This is a full-time remote role based in the United States.
• Annual salary of a FP&A Lead is $182,000 in SF/NYC, $173,000 in Austin/Boston/LA/Seattle/DC/Chicago, and $154,000 in all other cities.
• Benefits and perks vary based on location.
