Responsibilities

This is a hybrid role based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Mixpanel is seeking a high-impact Strategic Finance Lead to serve as a domain owner within our Financial Planning and Analysis team. This role is a trusted advisor to functional leaders across the business, owning the end-to-end financial planning process for a major domain and driving the analytical rigor that shapes leadership decisions. A successful candidate will bring deep FP A expertise, strong business partnership instincts, and the ability to design scalable planning processes—not just execute within them.
The FP A team enables Mixpanel s ongoing financial success. Doing so means creating visibility into our financial outcomes by running and improving tight financial reporting processes with all members of executive leadership. It means using these processes coupled with analytical prowess and strong communication skills to deliver keen insights upon which strategic decisions will be made. It means identifying key trends to support these decisions with constantly improving financial models. Through this, the FP A team guides the company through financial hurdles, fuels growth opportunities, and ultimately drives long-term success.
Own the end-to-end financial planning process for a major domain (GTM, R D, or G A) — from brief to delivery — setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms that others follow.
Define the 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators.
Build business cases for major investments with clear assumptions, risk quantification, and second-order effects — giving leadership the analytical foundation to make high-confidence decisions.
Design and improve planning processes, tooling, and data definitions that reduce rework across teams and raise the quality of financial outputs org-wide.
Lead cross-functional analyses with clear milestones and owners, resolving forecast disagreements with principled rationale and crisp financial narratives tailored to each audience.
Partner with functional budget owners to ensure data quality, metric consistency, and alignment on assumptions — acting as a cultural anchor for data-driven decision-making.
We re Looking For Someone Who Has
5–8 years of FP A or Strategic Finance experience, ideally in high-growth SaaS; demonstrated ownership of a planning domain end-to-end
Proven ability to design planning processes and frameworks — not just operate within them — and to influence decisions across teams without direct authority
Expert-level financial modeling skills; fluent in SaaS unit economics, driver-based forecasting, 3-statement modeling, and scenario/sensitivity analysis
