gainsight - Senior Strategic Corporate Finance Partner
Requirements
• 8+ years of progressive FP&A or strategic finance experience in high-growth or dynamic environments; investment banking or experience at a private equity owned software company a plus. • Demonstrated command of full-statement financials, including balance sheet and cash flow dynamics, alongside deep familiarity with SaaS-specific metrics such as ARR, NRR, and gross retention. • Advanced financial modeling, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently see issues through to resolution. • Self-driven and detail-oriented with an extreme ownership mentality. • Best-in-class attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy. • Strong enthusiasm and/or experience with artificial intelligence and integrating into finance functions. • Bachelor’s Degree in Finance or related discipline.
Responsibilities
• Support Company-Wide Planning & Forecasting. Play a critical role in Gainsight's annual operating plan (AOP), long-range plan (LRP), and quarterly re-forecast cycles. You'll partner cross-functionally with department heads to set targets, pressure-test assumptions, and ensure financial plans are grounded in business reality. • Own revenue and cash flow forecasting end-to-end, continuously refining models to improve accuracy and timeliness. • Own the 5-Year Strategic Plan. Serve as the primary steward of Gainsight's long-range financial model. This includes translating qualitative strategic initiatives into quantitative financial outcomes, stress-testing scenarios, and presenting a compelling narrative to senior leadership, the board. • Deliver Executive & Board-Level Reporting. Prepare and present monthly and quarterly financial performance packages for the executive team and Board of Directors. You'll go beyond the numbers — identifying key variances from plan, explaining the "why" behind trends, and recommending corrective actions where needed. • Support Investor Relations & M&A. Assist in preparing Board decks, Vista Equity Partners reporting, and industry benchmarking analyses. When M&A opportunities arise, you'll contribute to financial due diligence, target modeling, and integration planning, bringing rigor and speed to high-stakes decisions. • Integrate AI Into the Finance Function. Champion the use of AI tools and automation to improve the speed, accuracy, and scalability of FP&A processes. Whether it's leveraging Gainsight's own AI capabilities or external tools, you'll help modernize how Finance operates and delivers insights.
