The role

We're looking for a Business Analyst to partner closely with our Finance and Sales teams and turn data into decisions. You'll be the owner of the company's most important metrics: revenue (ARR/MRR), bookings, pipeline, conversion, net revenue retention, gross margin and more. Beyond reporting the numbers, you'll uncover the drivers behind them, build the analyses that shape planning and go-to-market strategy, and help leadership answer the critical questions:

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who is as comfortable in a board-deck conversation as in a SQL editor, and who ships analysis that changes what the business does next.

Your responsibilities will include

• Own the company's core business metrics end-to-end: define them, build the single source of truth, and make sure Finance, Sales, and leadership are all looking at the same numbers.
• Partner with Finance on revenue recognition, forecasting, budgeting, and board/investor reporting; turn usage and billing data into reliable financial views.
• Partner with Sales on pipeline health, funnel conversion, win/loss, sales cycle, quota attainment, territory and segment performance, and compensation analytics.
• Proactively monitor key business metrics, investigate trends and anomalies, and surface actionable insights to stakeholders before they ask.
• Build and maintain revenue and pipeline models that connect product usage and billing data.
• Write production-quality SQL and Python to model data, automate recurring reporting, and run analyses at scale.
• Translate findings into clear recommendations and drive alignment across Finance, Sales, and leadership.
• Support strategic initiatives: pricing and packaging changes, segment strategy, capacity planning, and go-to-market experiments, with before/after impact measurement.

We expect you to have

• 5+ years of experience as an Analyst, of which 2+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, FP&A analyst, Revenue/Sales Operations analyst, or equivalent.
• 2+ years working in a SaaS company; you understand ARR, bookings, NRR, CAC, payback, pipeline coverage, and the metrics that drive a SaaS business.
• Hands-on experience supporting Finance and/or Sales teams, with a track record of owning metric definitions that the company relies on.
• Strong SQL and comfort working with large, messy datasets across different sources.
• Hands-on experience using Python for data analysis and data modeling in a production environment.
• BSc in Economics / Finance / Statistics / Math / Industrial Engineering or equivalent.
• Familiarity with modern data tooling (Snowflake/BigQuery, dbt, BI tools like Omni/Looker/Tableau).

It will be an added bonus if you have

• Experience at an API-first, developer-focused, usage-based, or PLG (product-led growth) company.
• Experience with usage-based billing and revenue recognition (Stripe, Metronome, NetSuite).
• Experience with CRM analytics (HubSpot, Salesforce) and sales compensation / quota design.
• Statistical foundation for experimentation and causal inference.
• Experience with Airflow or similar orchestration tools.
• MBA or MSc in a quantitative field.
