Strategic Finance - FP&A @ Clay

We’re building a company that grows fast, moves fast, and makes decisions quickly, and Finance is a core part of that. The best FP&A functions at companies are inherently strategic, and lean on the “analysis” - they not only create a clear source of truth and planning cadence, but surface risk and opportunity early, and own what happens next with cross-functional partners.

We’re looking for an FP&A owner to build the financial systems, forecasting processes, and operating rhythms that help the business scale. You’ll partner closely with leaders across the company, own the financial model, and turn messy, ambiguous questions into clear decisions.

This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who loves combining analytical rigor with strong business judgment and creative thinking. We don't envision this role as simply a gatekeeper of the budget (in fact, we don’t have budgets). As our first FP&A hire, you'll help make decisions that shape the next phase of the business's investments and growth.

What You'll Do

• Own the company’s financial model and forecasting process across revenue, expenses, headcount, and cash flow

• Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual planning cycles, including budgeting, reforecasting, and long-range planning

• Partner with leaders across the company to help them make better, faster decisions through data and financial insight

• Build clear reporting for leadership and analyze business performance against plan, identifying the biggest risks and opportunities

• Create scenario analyses and business cases for new investments, hiring plans, and strategic initiatives

• Improve and automate FP&A processes, systems, and reporting as the company scales

What You'll Bring

• 5–10 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly analytical role

• Strong financial modeling skills and experience owning budgeting, forecasting, and headcount planning

• Ability to turn complex data into clear recommendations and communicate effectively with stakeholders across the company

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes from scratch in a fast-growing environment

• Strong AI and automation skills to improve Clay’s learning and growth cadence

• Low ego, high ownership, and excited to work cross-functionally
