As a partner to various business functions, you will collaborate with department leaders to define KPIs and deliver valuable insights and recommendations.

  • Ensure reporting processes are efficient and automated, enabling greater focus on analysis.
  • Strategic Decision Support & M&A

  • Provide financial guidance for key business decisions, including capital raising, M&A, and strategic partnerships.
  • Build robust financial and valuation models to assess acquisition targets, investment opportunities, and scenario analyses.
  • Lead financial due diligence efforts and coordinate with external advisors (investment bankers, legal, and accounting firms).
  • Support deal structuring, negotiation, and integration planning for potential acquisitions or partnerships.
  • Continuous Improvement & AI Automation

  • Drive continuous improvement and standardization of FP&A and Strategic Finance processes.
  • Leverage AI and automation tools (e.g., Python, Alteryx, Anaplan / Planful / Pigment) to improve efficiency and accuracy.
  • Develop dashboards to track KPIs and enhance reporting and forecasting.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with finance, accounting, treasury, legal, and other departments to ensure consistency across budgeting, reporting, and strategic analysis.
  • Collaborate with executive leadership on capital strategy, investor communications, and transaction readiness.
  • Align teams to achieve financial objectives and drive operational efficiency.
  • Stakeholder Communication

  • Present financial insights and recommendations to executives, the board, investors, and lenders.
  • Prepare materials for board meetings, fundraising processes, and M&A transactions with accuracy, clarity, and data integrity.
  • Qualifications

  • 58 years of progressive Finance / FP&A experience in the SaaS sector or investment banking, private equity, or corporate development.
  • Strong background in Excel financial modeling (3-statement, cohort, valuation, DCF, sensitivity, and scenario analysis).
  • Deep understanding of valuation methods, transaction structures, and deal execution processes.
  • Analytical and creative thinker, comfortable operating both in detail and at a strategic level.
  • Exposure to or interest in AI / automation tools (Python, Alteryx, Anaplan / Planful / Pigment).
  • Strong understanding of financial statements, corporate finance, and SaaS metrics.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex analysis into actionable insights.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field (CFA, CPA, or MBA preferred). Experience with Planful or similar planning tools is a plus.
  • What We're Looking For

  • Someone eager to bridge FP&A, Strategic Finance, and Corporate Development equally comfortable building budgets / forecasts and supporting fundraising, M&A, and investor relations.
  • A builder mindset : resourceful, hands-on, and able to create scalable models and reporting frameworks from scratch.
  • Curiosity and ambition to leverage modern tools and AI to push beyond traditional FP&A.
  • A strong communicator who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and can influence at the executive and board level.
  • Why Work at Karbon?

  • Work with (and learn from) an experienced, high-performing team
  • A collaborative, team-oriented culture that embraces diversity, invests in development and provides consistent feedback
  • Be part of a fast-growing company that firmly believes in promoting high performers from within
  • Karbon embraces diversity and inclusion, aligning with our values as a business. Research has shown that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria. If you've made it this far in the job description but your past experience doesn't perfectly align, we do encourage you to still apply. You could still be the right person for the role!

    We recruit and reward people based on capability and performance. We don't discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, physical or cognitive ability, and other diversity dimensions that may hinder inclusion in the organization.

    Generally, if you are a good person, we want to talk to you.

    If there are any adjustments or accommodations that we can make to assist you during the recruitment process, and your journey at Karbon, contact us at people.support@karbonhq.com for a confidential discussion.
