Corporate FP&A Manager

As a Manager, Corporate FP&A, you will own the operational core of Gong's consolidated financial model, with a particular focus on OPEX and personnel forecasting. You will synthesize complex data into actionable insights, drive forecast accuracy across the company's cost structure, and deliver the analytical foundation that powers strategic decision-making at the executive level. This role sits at the center of Corporate FP&A and has direct visibility into how Gong deploys capital across the business.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own Gong's consolidated OPEX model, maintaining bottoms-up departmental forecasts that roll into the corporate P&L with accuracy and discipline
• Build and continuously improve the company-wide personnel model, including headcount by department, hiring curve assumptions, attrition, and compensation and benefits — the single most important cost driver in the business
• Drive the monthly BVA process for all OPEX lines, synthesizing inputs from FP&A business partners into a clear, well-supported corporate narrative
• Lead scenario modeling and ad hoc financial analysis that informs how Gong allocates resources and makes strategic investment decisions
• Partner with the Senior Corporate FP&A Manager to deliver consolidated financials and build the OPEX narrative for executive reporting, QBRs, and Board of Directors reviews
• Support the quarterly forecasting process and annual planning cycle, ensuring OPEX forecasts reflect current business realities and are grounded in sound methodology
• Track and improve forecast accuracy over time — identifying where and why OPEX forecasts miss and driving ongoing improvements to the process
• Build and maintain OPEX planning templates and models in Pigment, partnering closely with the Corporate FP&A team to improve automation and reporting efficiency
• Partner with Accounting to support the month-end close process and ensure financial data integrity across systems

QUALIFICATIONS 

• 6+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, equity research, or strategy consulting, preferably at a high-tech or enterprise software company
• Deep expertise building scalable, bottoms-up financial models in Excel or Google Sheets, with a strong command of how model inputs and outputs connect to business outcomes
• Demonstrated experience owning personnel and OPEX forecasting in a dynamic, high-growth environment
• Familiarity with enterprise software metrics — churn, dollar retention, CAC, gross margin expansion — and the ability to connect cost structure decisions to revenue and unit economics
• Experience with financial planning tools and ERP systems; Pigment, NetSuite, and Salesforce experience a plus
• Highly organized and process-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, meet deadlines, and maintain accuracy under pressure
• Strong communicator who can translate detailed financial analysis into clear, concise narratives for senior stakeholders
• Self-driven and detail-oriented, with an ownership mentality and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, unstructured environment
• Experience working in a startup or high-growth company, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution
• Bachelor's degree in Finance or a related discipline
