About the Role
Attentive's G&A functions (Finance, People, Legal, Facilities, and Operations) run the operating backbone of a fast-growing marketing technology company. This role is the primary FP&A partner across all five functions: building the annual budget and rolling forecasts, running the monthly cadence that keeps spend and headcount decisions grounded in data, and improving how the planning process itself works as the company scales. You'll report to the Sr. Director, FP&A, and work independently as an individual contributor with direct, regular exposure to senior functional leaders.
What You’ll Accomplish
- Serve as the primary FP&A partner to leaders across Finance, People, Legal, Facilities, and Operations
- Own the annual budget and rolling forecast cycle for G&A, including headcount, opex, and KPI targets
- Lead monthly business reviews with G&A function leaders, using variance and driver analysis to surface specific spend and headcount decisions, not just report results
- Build and stress-test financial models for new G&A tools, vendors, and headcount investments, challenging assumptions before they reach budget owners
- Own headcount capacity modeling for supported functions, translating hiring plans into budget impact and flagging capacity risk early
- Define and maintain the KPIs that our G&A leaders use to track cost efficiency (e.g., cost per employee, spend-to-headcount ratio, vendor concentration) and explain what's driving the trend each month
- Partner with Accounting to ensure accurate monthly reporting and drive insight through variance analysis
- Identify and lead improvements to G&A planning processes and tooling (Anaplan, NetSuite, Excel, AI-assisted workflows) to reduce manual work as the business scales
- Present financial analysis and recommendations directly to senior leaders
Your Expertise
- 5+ years of FP&A or corporate finance experience
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or equivalent practical experience
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
- Hands-on experience with Anaplan and/or NetSuite
- Active use of AI tools to accelerate modeling, forecasting, or reporting work
- Experience supporting G&A functions, including Finance, People, Legal, Facilities, and Operations.
- Experience in a SaaS or subscription-based business environment preferred
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and independently driving cross-functional initiatives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
You'll get competitive perks and benefits, from health & wellness to equity, to help you bring your best self to work.
