Strategic Corporate Finance Partner

Role Description

We’re looking for a full-time Senior Strategic Corporate Finance Partner to join our FP&A team reporting to the Director of Finance. This role is a remote role based in the United States.

In this role, you’ll play a key role in driving data-backed financial strategy and decision-making by delivering financial modeling, insightful analyses, and interpreting key business and financial trends to guide company growth. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, analytical environment and enjoys working cross-functionally with teams like Finance, executive leadership, and business stakeholders. The ideal candidate brings strong skills in financial modeling, data analysis, strategic thinking, and is expected to operate with a high degree of independence.

What You'll Do

• Support Company-Wide Planning & Forecasting:
  • Play a critical role in Gainsight's annual operating plan (AOP), long-range plan (LRP), and quarterly re-forecast cycles.
  • Partner cross-functionally with department heads to set targets, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure financial plans are grounded in business reality.
• Own revenue and cash flow forecasting end-to-end, continuously refining models to improve accuracy and timeliness.
• Own the 5-Year Strategic Plan:
  • Serve as the primary steward of Gainsight's long-range financial model.
  • Translate qualitative strategic initiatives into quantitative financial outcomes, stress-test scenarios, and present a compelling narrative to senior leadership and the board.
• Deliver Executive & Board-Level Reporting:
  • Prepare and present monthly and quarterly financial performance packages for the executive team and Board of Directors.
  • Identify key variances from plan, explain the "why" behind trends, and recommend corrective actions where needed.
• Support Investor Relations & M&A:
  • Assist in preparing Board decks, Vista Equity Partners reporting, and industry benchmarking analyses.
  • Contribute to financial due diligence, target modeling, and integration planning for M&A opportunities.
• Integrate AI Into the Finance Function:
  • Champion the use of AI tools and automation to improve the speed, accuracy, and scalability of FP&A processes.

• 8+ years of progressive FP&A or strategic finance experience in high-growth or dynamic environments; investment banking or experience at a private equity owned software company a plus.
• Demonstrated command of full-statement financials, including balance sheet and cash flow dynamics, alongside deep familiarity with SaaS-specific metrics such as ARR, NRR, and gross retention.
• Advanced financial modeling, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently see issues through to resolution.
