## About the role

Cockroach Labs is seeking a Director of FP&A to reimagine our FP&A function from the ground up and lead it into the next era of finance. Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll architect a fundamentally different way of working, one where AI handles the routine, data-intensive work that consumes most finance team bandwidth today, and where FP&A operates as a real-time decision engine rather than a retrospective reporting function.

## What they're looking for

- Fluency with recurring and consumption-based revenue models and the metrics that drive them — ARR, net and gross retention, cohort economics, payback — or clear evidence you'll get there fast
- A strong ownership instinct and a bias toward speed. You take problems across the finish line without being asked twice, and you'd rather land a good answer this week than a perfect one next month
- A track record of driving AI or technology-led transformation of a finance function. Not just using AI tools, but redesigning how the work gets done
- Strong financial modeling, scenario analysis, and integrated three-statement forecasting skills, with a clear point of view on how AI makes each faster and more dynamic
- Experience building and presenting board-level and investor-facing financial materials
- Strong familiarity with the modern AI-enabled FP&A tooling landscape and the judgment to know what to build, buy, or integrate
