About Tempo and Loop
Tempo builds the infrastructure layer for how modern enterprises plan and execute work. Our newest platform, Loop, is an Adaptive Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) system — purpose-built to help organizations continuously orchestrate strategy, capacity, and delivery in a world where AI is actively reshaping how work gets done and who — or what — does it.
Loop sits above the execution layer. It gives leadership a unified place to set direction, run planning, and see what’s actually happening across a portfolio, surfacing recommendations from insights that cut through the noise.
About the role
Enterprise financial planning has a visibility problem. Organizations invest billions across programs and portfolios, yet the tools meant to govern those decisions — budget approvals, reforecast cycles, actuals tracking — are largely disconnected from where strategic decisions actually get made. Finance runs in one system. Portfolio planning runs in another. The gap between them is where strategy breaks down.
Loop is built to close that gap.
We are looking for a creative systems thinker who understands enterprise finance from the inside — someone who has implemented financial planning systems, modeled budget cycles for large programs, or guided finance and FP&A teams through tooling transformations. The best candidate for this role may not have ‘Product Manager’ anywhere on their resume yet. They might be a finance consultant, an ERP implementation lead, or an enterprise solutions architect who has spent years watching organizations struggle to connect their financial plans to their actual portfolio execution.
If you know what a rolling forecast really takes, what the CFO asks for in the QBR, and why budget approval workflows always end up in spreadsheets, this role was built for you.
What you’ll do
Finance and budgeting touches nearly every other part of the product. You’ll drive strategy for this domain while working closely with Product Managers across Loop whose work intersects with yours.
We build in small, dedicated teams. You’ll work directly with engineering and design from problem definition through shipped feature with minimal handoff and maximum ownership. We use AI collaboratively throughout our work to streamline communication and accelerate delivery. This is not a traditional product organization. We move fast, build directly, and expect everyone on the team to close the loop between insight and execution.
You’ll define how Loop helps organizations set investment thresholds, allocate budget across initiatives, track actuals against plan, and make real-time tradeoff decisions all within their strategic planning context.
Specifically, you’ll own:
Product strategy and roadmap for Loop’s finance and budgeting capabilities
Discovery with CFOs, FP&A leaders, and finance business partners, understanding how budget authority flows through a modern enterprise
How Loop connects portfolio investment decisions to financial plans: scenario modeling, threshold governance, and continuous forecasting
Close partnership with Tempo’s integrations team on connecting Loop to ERP and financial systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday, and others)
Who you are
We care far more about deep domain knowledge than a traditional product management background. If you have lived inside this problem as a finance leader, FP&A analyst, ERP implementation consultant, or enterprise solutions architect, we want to talk to you.
Specifically, we’re looking for:
Domain experience: 4–8 years in enterprise finance, FP&A, ERP implementation, or financial systems consulting. You know what a rolling forecast really takes and what the CFO asks for in the QBR.
Organizational fluency: hands-on experience with how organizations actually budget large programs, including the tradeoffs between cost centers, headcount planning, and CapEx vs. OpEx treatment
Tooling familiarity: you’ve worked with or around enterprise finance or planning systems (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Anaplan, or similar) and you know where they fall short
Curiosity about AI: you’re already using AI in your work and you’re thinking seriously about what it means for enterprise planning, financial forecasts and budgets.
Complexity tolerance: finance workflows are precise and deeply opinionated. You can sift through complexity and produce clear, structured output for executive audiences.
Clear communication: you can write a crisp one-pager that earns alignment without calling a meeting.
Collaborative by default: you share plans and pivots early, because in a system like Loop, few decisions are truly isolated.
Why Join Tempo?
Impact: Work on meaningful products that empower enterprise users and improve productivity.
Innovation: Be part of a culture that values creativity and innovation, with opportunities to make a real impact.
Collaboration: Join a supportive, collaborative team that values openness, communication, and a continuous learning environment.
Growth: Opportunities for professional development, including conferences, courses, and mentorship.
