Director FP&A

Job Description

At Yugabyte, we are on a mission to become the default transactional database for enterprises building cloud-native applications. YugabyteDB is our PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database for cloud-native apps. Resilient, scalable, and flexible, it runs on any cloud and enables developers to become instantly productive using well-known APIs. We are looking for talented and driven people to join us on our ambitious mission and help us build a lasting and impactful company. YugabyteDB is cloud-native by design, has on-demand horizontal scalability, and supports geographical distribution of data using built-in replication. This means that we are well-positioned to meet market demand for geo-distributed, high-scale, high-performance workloads.

Join the Database Revolution at Yugabyte. Modern applications need a cloud-native database that eliminates tradeoffs and silos. YugabyteDB retains the power and familiarity of PostgreSQL by pairing its trusted API with a precision-engineered, distributed, cloud-native architecture. Even better, it’s 100% open source. Many of the world’s leading enterprises are migrating from legacy RDBMSs (like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2) to YugabyteDB, to meet their mission-critical app demands.

About the Role

We are looking for a high-impact, strategic finance leader to manage our growing FP&A function, specifically focused on accelerating our Go-to-Market (GTM) engine while maintaining oversight of corporate-level FP&A. As we scale toward $100M+ ARR, you will be the primary financial partner to our Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success leaders, translating growth ambitions into actionable metrics, forecasts, and ROI analyses.

This role requires a unique blend of “doer” mentality (building robust models) and strategic leadership (influencing C-level decisions), providing you with total visibility into our financial operations.

• Corporate FP&A Leadership: Lead the annual operating plan (AOP) and quarterly forecasting process (Reforecast) for the entire company. Develop sophisticated capacity models to inform sales hiring plans, compensation, and territory strategies.
• Track ROI & Optimization: Evaluate ROI on Company investments (marketing program ROI, product investments, pricing strategies, AI) to maximize top-line growth efficiency while maintaining business economics (gross margin, cloud infrastructure optimization).
• Executive & Board Reporting: Prepare high-quality, actionable financial decks for executive leadership and board meetings, translating data into compelling narratives.
• System Transformation: Drive improvements in financial systems and RevOps data integrity to ensure a single source of truth for all metrics.

What You Bring

• Experience: 10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with at least 3 years in a management position, preferably in a $150M+ ARR enterprise B2B Software company.
• Industry Expertise: Deep understanding of License, SaaS and Consumption/usage-based business models, specifically regarding Database, Infrastructure, or Developer tools. (e.g., Snowflake, Datadog, Databricks, AWS-style models). Experience in AI is a plus.
• Technical Skills: Advanced Excel financial modeling skills (driver-based modeling), proficiency in SQL or business intelligence tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker), and seasoned expertise in Salesforce and sales processes a must.
• Leadership: Proven ability to build and mentor high-performing teams, fostering a collaborative, analytical culture.
• Communication: Exceptional executive presence; able to distill complex analysis into clear insights for leadership.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics; MBA or CPA preferred.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: You will directly shape the growth strategy of a fast-growing database startup.
• Visibility: You will work intimately with the leadership team.
• Growth: This is a career-defining opportunity to build the FP&A team and establish the processes, systems, and culture for the finance function and we scale toward $100M+ ARR and beyond.

We work in a hybrid model, with the team together in our Sunnyvale office 2–3 days per week.
