Job Details

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like OpenAI, Toyota, Figma, Ramp, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

Lead a high-performing Business Partnership (BP) Finance team delivering strategic partnership and financial leadership to business units. Act as the primary finance liaison to department heads and senior leadership, guiding planning, forecasting, and decision-making.

  • Support our monthly close and forecast processes - analyze financial results, distill and synthesize key trends, and communicate risks & opportunities to influence business outcomes. Assist in preparation of monthly & quarterly management reporting including Budget vs Actuals analyses and dashboards.
  • Drive deeper Budget vs Actuals understanding and forecast precision via smarter, more data-driven modeling and tighter cross-functional partnership, particularly in uncharted, high impact areas.
  • Tackle new & evolving priorities for the team. Conduct ad hoc modeling (e.g. pricing, cost-benefit, investment cases). Translate data into narratives that guide leadership decisions.
  • Strengthen our operational infrastructure by identifying process improvements. Build automation to take steps out of our recurring motions and reduce margin of error.
  • Coach and mentor talented existed team to develop both technical and partnership capabilities. Grow the team as part of our operational excellence journey.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • ~10-15 years experience in Business Partnership FP&A and other finance roles
  • Proven leadership managing business partnership FP&A teams and executive relationships
  • Ability to translate complex financial data into strategic narratives. Excellent communication: able to articulate financial insights to non-finance leaders
  • Demonstrate intellectual curiosity, problem-solving skills, and hunger to continually up-level current approaches and processes
  • Strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail. Willingness to roll up their sleeves with the team - “get it done” attitude
