## Job description

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.

We are looking for a passionate and motivated Strategic Finance Analyst to join our growing Revenue Finance team at Discord. Reporting to the Finance Manager for Revenue, you will be responsible for driving revenue modeling, revenue forecasting, preparing regular reporting and analysis, understanding the drivers of our rapidly expanding subscription business, and partnering with cross-functional teams to support functional strategic initiatives and unlock new growth opportunities. In this role, you will work with senior leaders across Data Science, Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Operations to make a direct impact on revenue strategy and decision-making. Come help us pave the way to a more awesome Discord!

## What you'll be doing

- Forecast the future. Build and maintain long-range revenue forecasts, incorporating cohort behavior, product impacts, FX trends, and experimentation data.
- Analyze key drivers. Dive into ARPU, retention, platform mix, and geo/product performance to surface actionable insights.
- Automate & optimize. Streamline processes and dashboards in Excel, Pigment, and Looker; replace manual workflows with scalable, documented systems.
- Build with AI. Use AI agents like Claude Code and Codex to draft models, automate reporting, and turn raw data into first-draft analysis, then bring the judgment to know when the output is right.
- Partner for growth. Build strong relationships with Product, Partnerships, Engineering, and GTM teams to size opportunities, vet new initiatives, and set targets.
- Uplevel Data Pipelines & Processes. Collaborate with Accounting and Data Science to resolve data discrepancies, reconcile figures across different data sources, and build real-time reporting and forecasting capabilities.
- Build Robust Processes. Identify ambiguities in data or process, bring structure, and institutionalize best practices that remain robust over time.
- Grow the craft. Bring a hunger to learn, pick up new AI tools as they emerge, and grow through hands-on mentorship as you raise the bar for the team.

## What you should have

- 2+ years in investment banking, top-tier consulting, or high-growth tech FP&A with heavy financial-modeling ownership.
- Strong mastery of Excel & modelling techniques, experience with SQL, FP&A tools, and Data visualization tools also encouraged.
- Experience with consumer-subscription modeling: subscription conversions, cohort-level assumptions, churn curves, and FX forecasting.
- Passion for exploring options to automate and optimize workflows to save time and improve accuracy.
- Hands-on fluency with AI agents like Claude Code and Codex, and genuine curiosity about applying them to finance work.
- The ability to distill complex analysis into crisp recommendations for executives and cross-functional partners.

Candidates must reside in or be willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties). Relocation assistance may be available.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $116,000 to $130,500 + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level. Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include equity, or benefits.
