Paraform | The #1 Agentic Hiring Platform & Recruiter Marketplace. Backed by Felicis.
About the role
This is not a traditional FP&A role. As Paraform's first dedicated FP&A hire, you will be the financial and strategic backbone of the company — owning FP&A end to end: the financial model, the budget, the planning systems, and the processes and structure the company plans and spends by. Where structure doesn't exist yet, you will create it.
What they're looking for
- 5–7 years in progressive positions within FP&A, investment banking, or consulting, with experience in operating finance at a high-growth tech company — ideally a marketplace or other transaction-based business
- You've owned FP&A end to end — or you're clearly ready to — including building a budget and planning process from scratch, not just maintaining someone else's model
- Demonstrated success selecting and implementing planning systems (Anaplan, Pigment, Adaptive, or similar) — you've run an RFP or led an implementation and know how to make tooling decisions that last
- Strong grasp of marketplace and SaaS metrics — GMV, take rate, net revenue retention, CAC/LTV, unit economics, rule of 40. Experience with both GAAP and non-GAAP reporting
- You've built complex, driver-based financial models from scratch and know how to defend every assumption in front of investors and executives
- Excel- and BI-native: you move fast in spreadsheets and know how to build dashboards that tell a clear story

You will operate at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations. This is a high-ownership role with a direct line to executive leadership and significant room to grow — including building out the FP&A team — as the company scales.
The forecast and budget, end-to-end. Build the annual budget from scratch and run monthly, quarterly, and annual planning across revenue, OpEx, headcount, and cash. You're accountable to leadership and the board for the integrity of every number in the model.
