New York City; San Francisco, CA Hybrid Employment

Headway is hiring a FP&A Manager

Responsibilities

  • Be the financial thought partner and strategist for key parts of Headway's business. Serve as the embedded Finance partner to several major departments — owning the financial strategy behind how those teams invest, manage spend, and drive toward profitability. This is thought partnership, not just reporting: you'll surface tradeoffs, pressure-test plans, and help leaders make sharper financial decisions.
  • Lead financial deep dives that drive decisions. Run the financial analyses and deep dives that identify business problems, root-cause them, and surface early signals — then turn that into strategies that accelerate progress.
  • Help the company understand its performance at both a micro and macro level. Support company-wide consolidation, shape the performance narrative that tells leadership how the business is really tracking, and take on the ad-hoc financial analyses that inevitably arise in a fast-scaling business.
  • Help drive the company's strategic planning. Play a central role in the processes where Headway defines its strategy and understands the financial implications — Annual Planning, Long-Range Vision — serving as a key Finance voice to teams across the company.
  • Bring AI into the workflow. Actively apply AI tools to drive faster insight, greater efficiency, and smarter decision-making across the FP&A workflow — and help shape how the team works as those tools evolve.

Requirements

  • You've owned the numbers behind a fast-growing business — and made them mean something. You have 6+ years of experience, ideally blending Investment Banking, Consulting, or Private Equity/VC with a highly analytical strategic finance role at a fast-growing company. You bring a point of view on day one.
  • You take a "measure twice, cut once" approach to financial data. You're detail-oriented and rigorous, highly proficient in Google Sheets and BI tools, and comfortable working with large, complex datasets.
  • You make the business better, not just the model. You embed with department leaders, earn their trust quickly, and translate finance into decisions that sharpen spend discipline and efficiency.
  • You see AI as a competitive advantage for finance, not a feature to explore someday. You actively use AI tools to work faster, sharpen your analysis, and make smarter calls — and you bring that orientation to the team around you.
  • You bring structure to ambiguity. You're a resourceful self-starter who seeks context, solves open-ended problems, anticipates stakeholder needs, and stays flexible when priorities shift.
  • You communicate complex insights clearly. You tailor your message to the audience — finance vs. business and product partners — and make the takeaway impossible to miss.
