About the role
Rippling is looking to hire a Manger to be based out of either the San Francisco office or New York office. This role will sit within the Corporate Finance team and work with the Head of Corporate Finance to further uplevel, scale, and automate Rippling’s financial planning and reporting processes. As a result, this role will partner closely with key stakeholders across Accounting, CX Strategic Finance, GTM Strategic Finance, and R&D Strategic Finance.
Key responsibilities of the role will include a combination of the following: driving improved financial planning and reporting by enhancing Rippling’s use of our financial planning system (Anaplan); synthesizing key financial and business insights for Finance leadership and E-staff; partnering with key G&A functions in their strategic and operational decision-making; and supporting recurring forecasting and reporting deliverables. This role will be highly visible with senior leadership in business units across the company. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in Corporate Finance / FP&A at another technology company.
What you will do
- Be the Finance team’s point person for Anaplan and drive Anaplan becoming the source of truth from both a planning and reporting perspective
- Uplevel Rippling’s headcount planning process by integrating inputs from Rippling’s proprietary headcount planning tool with Anaplan
- Leverage Anaplan reports to identify key financial insights and trends that can be shared with Finance Leadership and E-staff and used to influence key investment decisions
- Contribute to the preparation and delivery of recurring deliverables, which include the monthly / quarterly close, Board presentations, investor materials, and monthly re-forecasting
- Coordinate across Accounting and the broader Strategic Finance team to review and influence key assumptions driving key OPEX forecasts
- Develop a trusted relationship with select G&A leaders and assist them with quarterly and annual planning
- Support maintenance of the companywide model by consolidating inputs from teams across the entire company and publishing forecasts that go to the Board and our investors.
What you will need
- 5+ years of finance experience. Previous career experience in a Finance / FP&A role at another technology company is required
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.
- Strong analytical skills. This includes the ability to create financial models from scratch and an interest in conducting deep dive analysis to better understand key business drivers.
- Self-starter. This individual should feel comfortable operating in a high growth environment, with a desire to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with limited guidance.
- Ability to collaborate with teams across the company. Strong oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with non-financial audiences.
- Strong experience with Anaplan. Salesforce, SQL, and Tableau are a big plus but are not required.
