Senior Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst

Our team solves critical network challenges for some of the world's largest organizations. In simple terms, we manage the systems that keep networks running smoothly, securely, and reliably—the backbone infrastructure that powers digital transformation for enterprises globally. Our Intelligent Network Operations platform delivers and enables AI-driven agentic ops at scale, automating and simplifying how companies manage, secure, and optimize their networks.

But what makes us different is how we work: we believe great work happens in an environment where you're trusted, heard, and supported. With teams globally, we're building a workplace culture that values collaboration and integrity as much as innovation. BlueCat is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to serve as the FP&A business partner to our Sales, Professional Services, Customer Success, and Marketing leaders. You will own the monthly financial rhythm for these functions (variance analysis, reforecasting, and stakeholder reviews), support Board reporting and commentary, and help leaders make better decisions with data.
You will also help us push FP&A beyond the P&L. This means building the commercial and unit-economics analytics our leaders and our PE sponsor increasingly expect, and finding smarter, AI-enabled ways to produce them. We are a PE-backed company modernizing how Finance works, and we want someone who is excited to experiment, challenge how things are done today, and help build the better way.
Commercial Business Partnership: Act as the trusted finance partner to the heads of Sales, PS, Customer Success, and Marketing. Be their go-to for spend, headcount, performance, and trade-off questions, and provide analysis that supports their business decisions (investment cases, hiring, program ROI, pricing and packaging, territory and capacity).
Monthly Variance Analysis & Stakeholder Reviews: Own monthly actual-vs-budget/forecast variance analysis for your functions, explain the drivers in clear business terms, and lead monthly reviews with each business partner.
Budget & Planning: Support the annual budget process with documented assumptions for your functions, working with leaders to translate strategy into a financial plan.
Analytics Beyond the P&L: Build and maintain commercial and unit-economics metrics such as CAC and LTV, bookings vs. Partner with Sales, RevOps, and Finance on commission plan analysis, cost modeling, and attainment tracking so plans drive intended behavior and stay within financial goals.
Process Improvement & AI Enablement: Identify manual and inefficient workflows across FP&A and redesign them. Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.

• 4–6 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or business partnering; Strong written and verbal communication: you explain complex results clearly to non-finance leaders and the Board, tell the story behind the numbers, write concise commentary, and build trust with business partners at every level.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills (required).
• Strong understanding of SaaS metrics and subscription economics (ARR, bookings, retention, CAC/LTV) and of how Sales, Marketing, PS, and Customer Success operate.
• Proven ability to turn data into clear recommendations and to present confidently to senior leaders.
• Curiosity and a hands-on attitude toward AI and automation: you have used, or are eager to use, AI tools to improve how finance work gets done.
