Senior Financial Analyst

Scotts Valley, California

Department: Financial Planning and Analysis

Location: Scotts Valley, CA (Hybrid)

We are looking for a commercially minded finance professional to serve as the dedicated FP&A partner for our Commercial and Go-to-Market (GTM) organizations. This role sits at the intersection of revenue strategy and financial discipline, supporting two distinct sales motions: Channel Hardware & Software Sales and Direct Online Software & Subscription Sales. You will also play a key role in standing up financial support for our new Direct-to-Consumer Online Store as we expand our GTM footprint.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role. Your primary partners will be the SVP of Growth & Transformation and the VP of Worldwide Sales, and your work will directly inform how the company invests in and prioritizes its commercial activities.

Responsibilities

Revenue forecasting & financial planning

  • Own end-to-end revenue forecasting across all commercial segments, including Channel Hardware, Channel Software, Direct Online Software & Subscriptions, and the DTC Hardware store.

  • Partner with Sales and GTM leadership to translate key inbound metrics to reliable and accurate financial projections.

Reporting & performance management

  • Produce and present weekly sales flash reports with clear, actionable commentary for commercial and finance leadership.
  • Lead monthly actual vs. forecast variance analysis, identifying root causes and communicating findings in plain business language.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that give commercial teams real-time visibility into performance against plan.

Insights, risks & opportunities

  • Proactively surface risks and opportunities within the commercial portfolio, bringing data-driven recommendations to the GTM and Finance leadership.
  • Act as a trusted thought partner to GTM leadership — going beyond the numbers to provide strategic context, business perspective, insights, and recommendations.
  • Support territory, account, and channel level Sales views and expense planning as needed to inform GTM investment decisions.

 Pricing & promotional analysis

  • Conduct pricing and promotional analyses to evaluate margin impact, competitive positioning, and revenue lift.
  • Participate in pricing review and approval workflows, ensuring proposals are financially sound and aligned with company objectives.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Sales to model scenarios and support go-to-market pricing decisions.

 

Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience supporting Sales, Revenue, or GTM organizations in a business partner capacity.
  • Track record of building and managing complex revenue forecast models, preferably across multiple sales channels or business models (SaaS, hardware, DTC, or similar).
  • Experience with pricing and promotional analysis is a plus.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and/or Google Sheets; comfortable building sophisticated models from scratch.
  • Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system.
  • Hands-on experience with Adaptive Insights, or a similar enterprise planning platform.
  • Strong communication skills — you can translate complex financial analysis into clear narratives for non-finance audiences.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple work streams and deadlines simultaneously.

 

Education/Experience

  • Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience
  • 5–7 years of experience as a strong individual contributor with deep modeling and analytical capability and executing independently on defined work streams and proactively identifies insights

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
