## Job description

Category-defining tech. Career-defining work.

Lots of tech companies disrupt. But, many fail when they try to scale. We're different. CockroachDB makes it easier for companies to build and scale apps. This is how and why we're helping some of the most innovative companies on the planet. We tackle problems head-on and focus on solutions that create lasting impact.

Because when our customers win, we all win.

## The Role

We're looking for a Senior FP&A Analyst, GTM to be a strategic analytical partner to our Go-To-Market organization. You'll take on meaningful ownership from day one — driving financial planning, reporting, and analysis across GTM functions with direct exposure to senior leaders and real influence over how we invest in revenue growth. You'll operate with high independence, collaborate closely with business partners, and bring a data-driven mindset and eagerness to apply AI to how modern finance gets done. This is an instrumental hire at a high-growth company with significant opportunity to grow.

You Will

Business Partnering

- Serve as a trusted finance partner to GTM leaders across Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, and Marketing
- Proactively surface financial risks, opportunities, and trade-offs to business leaders
- Translate data into clear, compelling narratives for leadership and business partners

Planning & Forecasting

- Contribute to the annual plan and quarterly re-forecasts for GTM — headcount, opex, and quota/capacity
- Build models to support territory design, rep capacity, and coverage decisions
- Partner with GTM Operations on commission planning, pipeline, forecasts, and ARR projections
- Support expense forecasting and budget consolidation across the GTM organization

Performance Reporting & Analysis

- Deliver GTM financial reporting — ARR, pipeline, productivity, headcount, and expense vs. plan
- Maintain dashboards that give GTM leaders real-time visibility into their business
- Drive variance analysis and communicate the "so what" to business partners

AI-Driven Finance

- Explore and apply AI tools to improve the speed and quality of FP&A work
- Experiment with new approaches and share what's working with the broader FP&A team
- Help raise the bar on how the team uses technology to do better work

Strategic Finance

- Support GTM investment decisions — segment strategy, comp plan design, and headcount trade-offs — through rigorous analysis and clear recommendations
- Contribute to long-range planning and board materials as needed
- Drive process improvements that make FP&A faster and more scalable

The Expectations

In your first 30 days, you will develop a strong understanding of our GTM financial processes, systems, and organizational structure. You will meet with stakeholders across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Finance to understand the current state of planning, reporting, and forecasting, and begin familiarizing yourself with our core financial metrics and reporting cadences.

In your first 60 days, you will have a solid grasp of how Cockroach Labs operates and the key drivers of our GTM business. You will start contributing meaningfully to reporting and analysis, and identify early opportunities to improve processes or add analytical depth.

After 3 months, you'll be fully integrated into the team and operating with high independence on your key areas of ownership. You will have built strong relationships with your business partners and be recognized as a trusted, go-to resource for financial insight within the GTM organization.

You Have

- 4-6 years of FP&A experience at a high-growth SaaS or technology company
- Strong modeling skills: headcount, capacity, scenario analysis, and expense forecasting
- Fluency in SaaS metrics and the ability to translate complex data into clear narratives that move decisions
- A track record of partnering directly with business leaders as a trusted analytical resource, not just a report producer
- Experience building dashboards that give stakeholders real-time visibility into their business
- A demonstrated practice of integrating AI tools into your daily FP&A workflow as a default, not an exception
- The discipline to iterate on AI outputs and apply strong judgment to what you produce
- Comfort with high independence in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
- A bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field (MBA or CFA a plus)

- **Engineering Culture**: Engineers work with a modern stack (Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus) on a category-defining product. The company is committed to open source, continuous improvement, and publishing research. Onboarding includes a structured 30-day program.
- **Interview Process**: They use an "open interview process" with exercise-based assessments (coding, system design, case studies) to reduce bias and focus on skills rather than resumes. They aim for a fair, transparent, and two-way conversation.
