Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Budgeting, Forecasting & Variance Analysis

• Own the annual operating plan (AOP) and rolling forecast processes for assigned business unit(s) — including OpEx, headcount, and revenue components

• Build and maintain detailed driver-based financial models that connect operational assumptions (headcount, deal velocity, consumption rates) to P&L outcomes

• Produce monthly and quarterly budget-vs-actual (BVA) analysis with clear, well-reasoned variance narratives — not just the numbers, but what they mean and what action they suggest

• Develop subsequent-period reforecasts based on actuals trends, pipeline signals, and operating changes; communicate updates to FP&A leadership and BU stakeholders on a defined cadence

• Business Unit Financial Partnership

• Serve as the primary finance contact for assigned business units — building trusted working relationships with BU and/or functional leaders and their teams

• Translate financial results into operational language that BU leaders can act on; translate BU operating plans into financial models that FP&A leadership can rely on

• Proactively identify analytical opportunities within assigned BUs, including ROI analysis, pricing and discount rate modeling, product margin analysis, customer cohort economics, and long-range planning

• Support the finance team's preparation of monthly and quarterly management reporting packages, board materials, and investor-facing performance summaries

• Process Improvement & Systems

• Actively participate in FP&A process automation, tool implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives — with a bias toward building scalable, repeatable processes rather than one-off analyses

• Support adoption and optimization of Adaptive Insights (planning), NetSuite (ERP), and Salesforce (pipeline/CRM) data flows into the FP&A reporting infrastructure

• Develop and maintain standardized templates, data dictionaries, and model documentation to reduce key-person dependency and improve team leverage

• Month-End & Close Support

• Collaborate with the Accounting team on month-end and quarter-end close activities, including accrual inputs, headcount reconciliation, and flux analysis

• Ensure management reporting is reconciled to GL actuals on a timely basis; resolve discrepancies proactively rather than waiting for issues to surface in reporting

Qualifications

• Required

• 5–10 years of FP&A, corporate finance, or financial planning experience — specifically within a software, SaaS, or technology company

• Demonstrated proficiency building driver-based financial models in Excel from scratch — not maintaining inherited models, but designing and building your own

• Experience producing BVA packages and variance narratives for senior leadership consumption — not just generating the numbers but writing the story

• Strong Excel skills (advanced modeling, pivot tables, index/match, dynamic arrays); proficient PowerPoint for financial presentation construction

• Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with competing deadlines without sacrificing accuracy or analytical quality

• Preferred

• Experience with Adaptive Insights (Workday Adaptive Planning), NetSuite, and Salesforce in an integrated FP&A environment

• Familiarity with SaaS and subscription business model metrics and/or consumption-based revenue models

• Familiarity with Data Center infrastructure environments from expense or revenue perspective; or demonstrated willingness to develop that domain fluency quickly

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required; MBA a positive signal but not required

• Additional Information

• Why you’ll love Mirantis

• Build the observability foundation for the AI cloud era, working directly with leading GPU cloud operators, NeoClouds, sovereign clouds, and AI-first enterprises

• Collaborate with a world-class, distributed team committed to openness and technical excellence

• Shape the product narrative and influence go-to-market success

• It is understood that Mirantis, Inc. may use automated decision-making technology (ADMT) for specific employment-related decisions. You also have the right to appeal any decisions made by ADMT.
