About the role

We're looking for a sharp, commercially-minded Director of FP&A to lead the FP&A function at Paddle and drive performance across revenue growth, cost discipline, and analysis to inform and guide capital allocation decisions. Reporting directly to our VP of Finance, you'll serve as the connective tissue between finance and the broader leadership team. You'll own the rhythm by which Paddle plans, forecasts, and a key influencer on business decisions.

• Drive the Monthly Business Review and QBR cadences: producing standardised packs, facilitating cross-functional discussions, and ensuring leadership leaves each session with clear prioritised actions
• We'd love to hear from you if you
• Have significant FP&A leadership experience in a high-growth marketplace, SaaS or technology business
• Have a track record of building or transforming an FP&A function into a function that is business impact driven, vs. merely producing reporting oriented.
