About the Role ClickUp is looking for an FP&A Manager to serve as the financial business partner across three functions: R&D, G&A, and Corporate. You'll own the full cycle of forecasting, month-end close, and budget vs. actuals reporting for each, partnering directly with department leaders and the accounting team. This is a high-autonomy role on a lean Strategic Finance team where you'll have real ownership from day one.

What You'll Do

• R&D: Own expense management, vendor and invoice approvals, headcount planning, non-headcount forecasting, cloud infrastructure cost tracking, and month-end variance analysis and leadership reporting.

• G&A: Drive expense forecasting, headcount planning, vendor approvals, and month-end close activities including variance analysis and BvA reporting for G&A departments.

• Corporate: Prepare board of directors, QFR, and investor-ready reporting decks. Manage billings actualization and forecasting, and deliver monthly finance readouts to executive leadership.

• Partner with Accounting through the monthly close cycle, including soft close, hard close, and results review with budget owners.

• Maintain rolling forecasts, provide variance commentary for material deviations, and lock forecasts on a monthly cadence.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with recruiting, procurement, and department leaders on headcount and spend decisions.

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate forecasting workflows, variance commentary, and ad-hoc analysis, setting the bar for AI-augmented FP&A on the team.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of FP&A or strategic finance experience, ideally in a high-growth SaaS/tech environment.

• Experience owning multiple cost centers or business lines simultaneously.

• Fluency in SaaS financial metrics (ARR, NRR, gross margin, CAC, CLTV) and the ability to connect operating metrics to financial outcomes.

• Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and budget-to-actual analysis skills.

• Comfort with enterprise planning tools (Pigment, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar), ERP systems (NetSuite preferred), and procurement platforms (Coupa or equivalent).

• Experience preparing materials for board, executive, and investor audiences, distilling complex data into clear, actionable narratives.

• Ability to operate independently across multiple stakeholder groups with minimal direction.

• Strong business partnering instincts: you make department heads sharper, not slower.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in a high-growth, pre-IPO environment.

• Genuine AI fluency: you actively use AI tools to accelerate modeling, analysis, and communication in your daily work.

• Familiarity with AWS/cloud cost tracking and COGS reporting.

• Experience with HRIS/ATS systems (Workday, Ashby, Greenhouse) for headcount management.
