We’re looking for a high-impact Senior Manager of Finance to support and scale an AI-forward finance function at a high-growth B2B SaaS company.

This role reports directly to the CEO and is a hands‑on execution role focused on financial modeling, forecasting, scenario planning, and business partnership. You’ll work closely with the CEO and the leaders of all functions to translate business dynamics into clear financial insights and help guide key decisions as the company continues to scale.
