About the Role:

We're looking for a Senior Manager-level contractor to support our Commercial FP&A team within Strategic Finance. This person will step into a hands-on role owning a diverse set of deliverables across revenue reporting, executive materials, and cross-functional coordination. The Commercial FP&A team acts as the analytical engine of the company, providing insights that drive business decisions at the leadership level.

It is critical that this person can hit the ground running, operate independently with minimal supervision, and exercise good judgment on what matters most in a fast-moving environment.

This role requires strong commercial finance acumen and a genuine interest in understanding the "why" behind the numbers. You'll be supporting the narrative behind revenue performance for SLT and Board-level materials, and helping maintain the reporting infrastructure that leadership relies on for in-quarter decisions. 

Responsibilities:

  • Own recurring revenue reporting workflows - daily/weekly file maintenance, revenue trackers, attainment dashboards, and variance analysis - ensuring accuracy and timely delivery at a daily cadence
  • Prepare and update executive materials for KPI reviews, Board of Directors presentations, and SLT meetings, including slide updates, and supporting data files
  • Conduct variance analysis on revenue movements and deliver clear, concise commentary that explains the "what" and the "why" behind performance trends
  • Support quarterly sales target-setting - reconciling forecasts and flagging areas of risk and opportunity for leadership discussion
  • Own the commercial commission review process - synthesizing attainment data, identifying trends, and providing analysis that informs leadership's compensation and incentive decisions
  • Execute ad-hoc analysis for Revenue, GTM, and Commercial leadership to support in-quarter decision-making
  • Maintain and improve core financial reporting infrastructure - identifying opportunities to enhance accuracy, reduce manual effort, and improve consistency across deliverables
  • Partner cross-functionally with Revenue, Sales Operations, and GTM teams to understand business drivers and translate them into financial context
  • Apply a common-sense quality check to all outputs - flagging anomalies, verifying data integrity, and ensuring deliverables are clean and free of error
  • Provide reliable coverage on all recurring deliverables during high-volume periods
  • Exercise independent judgment in prioritizing analyses and sequencing deliverables to maximize impact for commercial leadership

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field with 12+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 8+ years experience
  • Expert-level Excel and Google Sheets skills - can build, troubleshoot, and maintain complex reporting files independently
  • Strong data analysis capabilities with the ability to work across multiple data sources and reconcile discrepancies
  • Excellent communication skills - can format data clearly for executive audiences and draft concise commentary
  • Experience supporting executive-level reporting (KPI reviews, Board materials, SLT presentations)
  • Ability to ramp quickly on existing processes and deliver reliably with minimal hand-holding
  • Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment
  • Experience in commercial finance / sales finance, preferably in a high-growth or ad tech environment

Location:
This role is eligible for full-time remote work in one of our entities: CA, CO, ID, IL, FL, GA, MA, MI, MN, MO, NJ, NV, NY, OR, TX, UT, and WA.

We are a remote-first company with US hubs in Redwood City, Los Angeles, and New York City.

Travel Expectations:
We offer several opportunities for in-person team gatherings, including but not limited to project meetings, regional meetups, and company-wide events. We expect our employees to attend these gatherings at least once per quarter. These gatherings provide essential opportunities for collaboration, communication, and team building.

Compensation:

The following are our hourly salary ranges for this role: $100 - $113 an hour

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
