About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Manager, FP&A to serve as the finance business partner to our Corporate or GTM organization. You will own the overall or GTM P&Ls and build the driver-based models behind critical SaaS finance questions: what is the right plan, where to invest, and how to make course corrections. You will partner directly with our Senior Leadership Team on investment decisions, headcount, and unit economics, and manage and develop a Senior Financial Analyst. You will report to the VP of FP&A and work alongside other FP&A leads, with scope that will grow as Camunda does.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Business Partnership: Serve as the primary finance partner to the Senior Leadership Team, supporting decisions on hiring, investment prioritization, and resource allocation.

• P&L Ownership: Own the P&Ls end-to-end — budgeting, monthly forecasting, variance analysis, and the narrative for leadership on what changed, why it matters, and what to do next.

• Financial Modeling: Build and continuously improve driver-based models, such as the long-range plan, bookings model, and ad hoc analyses.

• Planning & Forecasting: Lead planning cadences (annual, quarterly, monthly outlooks) and integrate business partners' inputs into the corporate forecast alongside FP&A leads.

• Team Leadership: Manage and develop one Senior Financial Analyst, setting priorities and raising the bar on quality and speed of analysis.

• Systems & Automation: Own Adaptive Planning administration and maintenance, and drive AI-augmented workflows that make FP&A faster and more scalable.

What You Bring:

• Ability and/or willingness to use our product.

• 6+ years of progressive FP&A or strategic finance experience, including direct partnership with C-Level, and/or CRO/CMO.

• Direct people management experience (hiring, coaching, and managing finance team members).

• Deep fluency in SaaS cost structures and unit economics — cloud/hosting costs, CoGS vs. OpEx, gross margin drivers — with proven driver-based modeling skills (forecasting from usage and consumption drivers, not trending actuals).

• Hands-on experience building in an enterprise planning platform (Adaptive, Anaplan, Pigment, Planful, or similar) plus advanced spreadsheet skills.

• Clear, executive-ready communicator who works autonomously with focus, integrity, and humility.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Adaptive Planning experience specifically.

• Salesforce experience.

• Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude) to automate finance workflows.
