Director of FP&A
Location: Mclean, VA
Employment Type: Full-Time 

About the Role

We are looking for a Director of FP&A to own financial planning, forecasting, and reporting for a fast-growing, multinational ad tech company. This is a high-visibility role that partners directly with the CEO and department heads to drive data-informed decision making. You will build and own the financial models that inform board and lender presentations, run the annual budget and forecast cycles, and turn complex financial data into insights the business can act on.

This role is a strong fit for someone who wants ownership over the FP&A function at a company with real scale and complexity (multi-entity, multi-currency, SaaS and usage-based revenue) but without the bureaucracy of a large finance org.

What You'll Do

• Own the forecast and budget process. Build and maintain the company's rolling forecast, annual budget, and long-range plan across revenue, opex, and headcount.
• Partner with department leaders. Work directly with Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering leadership to build department budgets, track spend against plan, and identify variances early.
• Support board and lender reporting. Prepare materials for board meetings, venture debt holder updates, and investor reporting, including KPI dashboards, churn analysis, and cash runway modeling.
• Build and refine financial models. Develop revenue models, scenario analyses, and unit economics (CAC, LTV, net revenue retention) that hold up under scrutiny from executives, lenders, and investors.
• Manage multi-entity complexity. Support consolidated reporting and planning across US, UK, Irish, and Singapore entities, working with local finance and accounting teams as needed.
• Improve systems and process. Identify opportunities to streamline planning tools, reporting cadence, and data flow between accounting systems and FP&A models.
• Mentor and eventually manage. As the team scales, take on direct reports and build out the FP&A function.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of FP&A experience, ideally with at least 2 years in a SaaS, ad tech, or other subscription/usage-based revenue business.
• Advanced financial modeling skills. You are fluent in building models from scratch in Excel or Google Sheets, not just maintaining templates.
• Experience with recurring revenue metrics. Comfortable with ARR, net revenue retention, churn, CAC/LTV, and cohort analysis.
• Board and investor-facing experience. You have prepared materials for a board, lender, or investor audience and can translate finance into a story executives and non-finance stakeholders can act on.
• Multi-entity or multinational exposure is a strong plus, particularly UK/Ireland or APAC.
• Systems fluency. Experience with NetSuite, QuickBooks, or similar ERP systems, plus planning tools (Adaptive Insights, Pigment, or similar) is a plus.
• Communication skills. You can distill complex financial analysis into a clear, concise narrative for a CEO or board member who wants the headline first.
• Ownership mindset. You are comfortable in a lean finance team where you will build process, not just follow it.

Benefits

• Health & Wellbeing. We cover 100% of employee medical, dental, and vision premiums, plus 50% for your dependents. We also provide flexible parental and maternity leave, alongside an unlimited PTO policy.
• Financial Perks. Access to a 401(k) plan, a referral bonus program for new hires, and monthly stipends for your internet expenses.
• Work Style & Environment. A remote-first culture (based in DC or NY metros) with a casual, flexible atmosphere. Includes annual team gatherings and opportunities for both domestic and international travel.
• Career Growth. A transparent trajectory towards finance/FP&A leadership as our global team continues to expand.
