About the Opportunity

A growing enterprise software organization is seeking a Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis – Sales & Revenue Operations to join its Finance team. This is a highly visible individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of FP&A, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, and Sales Compensation.

The Manager will serve as a key financial partner to the Sales Operations organization, with significant ownership of sales commissions, quota setting, attainment analysis, commission forecasting, and incentive compensation administration. The ideal candidate combines strong analytical and financial modeling capabilities with hands-on experience supporting a SaaS or enterprise software go-to-market organization.

This position does not currently have direct reports and is part of an established FP&A team.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as a primary Finance business partner to Sales Operations and Revenue Operations, providing financial guidance and analysis to support strategic decision-making.
Partner with Sales Operations on the design, modeling, and execution of annual sales quota setting and allocation.
Analyze historical sales performance, market potential, territories, and other relevant factors to support effective quota development.
Own and support the sales commission payment process, including calculation, validation, reconciliation, approval, and payment-related activities.
Partner with Sales Operations and internal technology teams to implement and administer sales compensation plans within Xactly Incent.
Analyze sales performance, including quota attainment, achievement percentages, accelerators, thresholds, bonuses, and territory performance.
Develop and maintain commission forecasts and incorporate commission-related assumptions into the company's consolidated financial model.
Build scalable reporting and analytical processes that improve visibility into commission expense, sales performance, attainment, and forecast accuracy.
Perform scenario analysis and financial modeling related to sales compensation plans and go-to-market initiatives.
Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, and other business stakeholders to improve predictability and financial discipline.
Prepare financial analyses, presentations, and recommendations for senior Finance leadership and executive management.
Identify opportunities to improve and automate existing sales compensation, forecasting, and reporting processes.

Qualifications

5+ years of progressive experience across FP&A, Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, Sales Finance, Sales Compensation, or related functions.
Hands-on experience supporting sales commissions and incentive compensation.
Experience participating in annual quota setting and allocation, rather than solely reporting against established quotas.
Strong understanding of sales performance and attainment metrics.
Experience calculating, validating, reconciling, or administering commission payments.
Strong financial modeling and analytical capabilities.
Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline.

Experience forecasting commission expense and incorporating results into broader FP&A models.
Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP platforms.
Background in Sales Finance, GTM Finance, Sales Strategy & Operations, Commercial Finance, or Incentive Compensation.
