We're Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.

Our platform is trusted by many of the world's leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer's Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we're recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.

About The Role

We're looking for a senior FP&A professional to join Fundraise Up's Finance team as a strategic partner to Sales, Revenue, Product, and Operations leadership. This role owns budgeting, forecasting, and business performance analysis for assigned functions, replacing transactional FP&A work with higher level strategic decision support. Reports to the Manager, FP&A and Strategic Finance.

• Lead complex, cross functional projects across Finance, Revenue, Product, Operations, and People, driving alignment and influencing outcomes without direct authority
• Own financial planning processes with minimal oversight, escalating financial risks proactively and driving process automation and efficiency initiatives
• At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve. You should already be using AI meaningfully in your work and understand where it adds value and how it can improve the way you operate.
