- ⢠You will build trusted advisor relationships with key stakeholders by driving insights from core metrics like GMV, take rate, CAC, LTV, NRR, and churn into actionable business cases for pricing strategy, market/product expansion, and new launches, while supporting board-level reporting and strategic narratives alongside the Senior Director of FP&A and CFO.
- ⢠You will evolve Paddleâs planning models and forecasting capabilities to bridge financial targets with operational execution, building management reporting and dashboards that cut through complexity and deliver timely, decision-oriented finance insights to the ExCo.

- ⢠You will contribute to building a high-performing, high-EQ FP&A culture by mentoring teammates, enhancing commercial fluency, refining the KPI framework, and representing FP&A in cross-functional projects to champion data-driven decision-making organization-wide.
- ⢠You will grow both personally and professionally by shaping the next evolution of FP&A capability at Paddle, embracing ambiguity in a scale-up environment where youâre âbuilding the plane while flying it,â and developing your leadership, influencing, and technical skills through mentorship and exposure to complex, strategic initiatives.
đŻ Requirements
- ⢠Proven experience in FP&A, financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning, preferably within SaaS, payments, or transaction-based business models.

- ⢠Strong commercial acumen and strategic mindset, demonstrated by the ability to connect financial data to business outcomes and influence resource allocation, pricing strategy, and investment decisions.
- ⢠Comfort navigating ambiguity and complexity in fast-paced, scale-up environments, including experience with evolving tooling (e.g., Pigment implementation) and data quality challenges.
- ⢠Detail-oriented with executive presence, capable of balancing precision with the ability to present confidently to C-level stakeholders and board audiences.
- ⢠Passion for mentoring and team development, with a track record of building capability, fostering collaboration, and contributing to a high-EQ, ownership-driven culture.
đď¸ Benefits
- ⢠Competitive salary package complemented by stock options, reflecting Paddleâs VC-backed growth stage and commitment to sharing long-term value with employees.
