• Drive insights from Paddle's key metrics (GMV, take rate, CAC, LTV, NRR, churn) into actionable recommendations that influence business direction.
• Leverage finance insights to inform finance and business leadership of important risks and opportunities.
• Support business case development for strategic initiatives such as pricing strategy, market/ product expansion and or new launches.
• Partner with the Director of FP&A and the VP of Finance to support board-level reporting and strategic narratives.
•
Forecasting & Analysis
• Support the evolution of Paddle's planning models to bridge financial targets with operational execution, enabling our leadership team to translate cross functional insights into faster and better-informed strategic decisions.

• Develop deep expertise in Paddle's transaction-based revenue model, bringing visibility to performance across customer segments, geographies, and products.
• Identify opportunities to optimize unit economics and improve capital efficiency across the business.
•

We'd love to hear from you if you
• Commercially astute and strategically minded - you can connect financial data to business outcomes, and you're energized by influencing commercial strategy, not just reporting on it.
• An exceptional business partner - established in stakeholder management, you can translate complex financial concepts into simple, compelling narratives for non-finance audiences and build trusted relationships with senior leaders.
• Technically strong in FP&A fundamentals - proficient in financial modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning, ideally with experience in SaaS, payments, or transaction-based business models.
• Comfortable with complexity and ambiguity - you thrive in fast-paced scale-up environments where you're flying the plane whilst building it, navigating data quality challenges and evolving tooling (we're re-implementing Pigment).
• Looking to develop the way the team and Paddle operates... and develop yourself too in the process. You enjoy mentoring others and building capability across the team.
• Detail-oriented with strong executive presence - you balance precision and accuracy with the ability to zoom out and present confidently to C-level stakeholders.
• Someone who does what they say, to a very high standard, consistently - you believe that this is how long term trust is built with the business.
