Insights and Analysis: Lead the structuring, execution, and delivery of cross-functional analyses spanning all revenue streams (Software, Payments, Capital, and Hardware). Translate variances, structural shifts, and emerging trends across the business into clear narratives for senior finance leadership.
Data Partnership and Stewardship: Serve as the senior FP&A point of contact for the Data Office, analytics teams, and platform owners across the company. Represent FP&A's position on the definition and integrity of finance-critical metrics, contribute to cross-functional alignment on master data management, standardized reporting dimensions, and data governance frameworks, and translate between technical data discussions and finance audiences.
Forecasting Methodology and Accuracy: Support the evolution of Lightspeed's forecasting methodology and the framework used to assess forecasting accuracy. Identify structural sources of variance and contribute to improvements in how the team forecasts the business.
AI and Innovation: Integrate AI tools, automation, and emerging analytical techniques into the team's analytical workflows where they meaningfully improve quality or efficiency.

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
7+ years of progressive FP&A, strategic finance, or analytical experience, ideally in a multi-product SaaS or payments environment.
Experience with EPM platforms (Pigment, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar).
Track record of producing executive-facing analysis across multiple business lines or revenue streams.
Experience partnering with data, analytics, or BI teams as a primary stakeholder.
Deep fluency in SaaS metrics: NRR, ARPU, churn, LTV/CAC, Rule of 40, etc.
Strong financial modeling skills in Google Sheets/Excel.
Familiarity with SQL and modern data tooling sufficient to partner with data teams as a peer and understand what good looks like. Hands-on coding proficiency is not required.
Comfortable building structure across large, messy datasets where processes don't yet exist.
Ability to translate complex analysis into simple, actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders.
Comfort operating with ambiguity and making methodology calls with incomplete information.
Cross-functional fluency. You've worked across Data, Accounting, and business teams, not just within Finance.
Experience presenting to and influencing senior leadership, not just producing deliverables for them.

Experience at a public company is preferred.
Experience with or exposure to master data management, data governance frameworks, or standardized reporting dimensions is a bonus.
CPA or CFA designation is a bonus.
AI fluency. You use LLMs, copilots, and automation tools in your actual workflow, not just as a talking point. Excitement about what's next matters as much as what you already know.
