Backlight builds the tools that power modern media operations, from production and asset management to broadcast and streaming. Our products are used at scale across the media industry to move and monetize content. As Sr. Manager of Financial Analysis, you'll own the financial models that drive Backlight's business decisions — shaping how leadership thinks about growth, retention, and profitability in a PE-backed SaaS environment. Responsibilities
Build and maintain the financial operating models that support annual planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasts across the business. Lead monthly performance reviews, including variance analysis of revenue, bookings, and cost drivers. Translate the numbers into clear explanations of what changed and why. Own core SaaS metrics reporting for management and the board: ARR, MRR, bookings, churn, GRR, NRR, and cohort performance. Model revenue and retention scenarios. Forecast how customer behavior, pricing changes, and expansion motions affect the business over time. Partner with cross-functional teams during planning cycles. You'll be the finance counterpart to product, sales, and customer success leaders. Build scenario models and business cases for strategic investments. Support leadership in evaluating new initiatives and resource allocation decisions. Improve how we work: identify automation opportunities, strengthen data quality, and scale our processes as the business grows. Work across multiple data sources to ensure consistency and accuracy in reporting. You'll need to reconcile systems and flag discrepancies before they reach leadership. Mentor junior team members on modeling and analytical best practices when needed. Requirements
