Senior Finance Manager

Senior Finance Manager

Skylight is a fast-growing technology company based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, building the operating system for families. Our products bring together calendars, lists, routines, and memories—helping millions of families stay organized and connected around the world. Entirely bootstrapped, Skylight has scaled to hundreds of millions in annual revenue under founders who are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs.

We're seeking an experienced Senior Finance Manager to join our lean, high-impact finance team. Reporting to the Director of Finance, you'll own core FP&A processes and serve as a strategic thought partner to Sales, Marketing and Operations leadership. This is a hands-on role where you'll drive financial planning excellence while building scalable processes for our rapidly growing business. You will help deliver timely financial reporting, ad-hoc analyses and, ultimately, derive business insights to influence operational decisions as we continue to scale the business.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with the existing Finance team to forecast the consolidated P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement and 13-week cash flow model on an ongoing basis
• Own elements of our annual budgeting cycle end-to-end; partnering with cross-functional leaders to translate inputs and business strategy into financial plans
• Own the monthly close process from an FP&A perspective, including variance analysis and executive reporting
• Establish and maintain departmental best practices, improving processes and introducing systems as we scale
• Lead cross-functional meetings with Marketing, Sales and Operations
• Collaborate with Marketing and Sales to evaluate growth trajectory and forecast sales
• Work cross functionally with the Operations team to assist with inventory planning, ordering and process improvement
• Partner with Accounting to improve reporting relevant to our forecasting processes, such as unit economics and BU-level performance
• Coordinate with Data to define and govern KPIs, and deliver executive-ready dashboards that drive decisions
• Partner with Director of Finance on modeling strategic initiatives including business case development, pricing analysis, new market evaluation and business model optimizations

Who You Are

• Naturally curious - if you see something that doesn't make sense or piques your interest, you naturally want to get to the bottom of it
• Collaborative - we all have our own areas of expertise but everything we do impacts other teams so working cohesively with other teams is imperative
• Comfortable with ambiguity - we're a startup and we often need to make decisions with imperfect information on short timelines
• Detail oriented - a must for any finance role; you double check your formulas and sanity check deliverables
• Strong communicator - you turn complex analyses into simple narratives, "so-what's" and executive-ready materials
• Highly organized with strong time and expectation management - we have a lot to do, but it's important that we're honest with each other about how much can be done in a day
• Builder of better ways - you proactively streamline and automate current-state processes to create durable improvements
