Lead Drawbridge’s FP&A function as the senior finance partner to the CFO, executive team, board, and investors. Own forecasting, budgeting, cash-flow planning, KPI reporting, financial models, board materials, and strategic analysis. Establish scalable planning and reporting processes while partnering with accounting and business leaders. Optimize Salesforce, NetSuite, Excel, and Power BI from a finance perspective. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring direct ownership of analysis, executive presentations, financial strategy, and ad hoc decision support.
Drawbridge has a fantastic opportunity to join our team as a Director, FP&A reporting directly to the CFO.
This is a remote position, ideally in the Mountain Timezone.
At Drawbridge, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best individuals who enjoy working in a dynamic environment. You will be joining an agile team that will help you at every level of your career to identify and use your strengths to grow. This is an opportunity to work at a company that is open to new ideas as we build a diverse environment for our employees. The work will be challenging and rewarding.
Drawbridge is a portfolio company of Francisco Partners and Long Ridge Equity Partners, two leading technology-focused private equity firms. As a Francisco Partners portfolio company, Drawbridge benefits from a deep network of operational best practices and peer FP&A community. We are a high-growth Software as a Service (SaaS) business with a strong track record of innovative cybersecurity solutions to the alternative investment management industry.
We are seeking a Director of Financial Planning & Analysis (“FP&A”) to lead the FP&A function and support the executive leadership team. This is a highly visible role with regular exposure to executive leadership and investors, and an opportunity to drive strategic financial decision-making in a fast-paced environment.A High-Visibility Leadership Role for a Hands-On BuilderThis role offers a unique opportunity to serve as Drawbridge's senior FP&A leader and trusted financial business partner to the CFO, executive team, board, and investors. As the sole owner of the FP&A function, you will have significant influence over strategic decisions, resource allocation, long-range planning, and the financial narrative of the business.
This is not a role for someone who wants to manage through layers of staff. We are seeking a leader who combines strategic thinking with a builder's mindset. You will establish the planning processes, performance metrics, reporting standards, and financial discipline that guide the company, while also personally developing the analyses, models, and presentations that drive decision-making.
Success in this role requires both leadership presence and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. One moment you may be involved in strategic discussions with an executive member; the next, you may be deep in Excel, Power BI, Salesforce, or NetSuite building the models and analyses that support those conversations. The ideal candidate is energized by both leading and doing and thrives in an environment where impact is measured by results rather than size of team.
Key Responsibilities
The Director of FP&A will own the planning, analysis, and reporting the company runs on, including:
- Financial Forecasting: Develop and manage the financial models, forecasts, and budgets that support strategic planning and decision-making, including revenue growth, retention, expense management, and cash flow forecasting.
- Business Partnering and Financial Strategy: Directly working with the CFO, Executive Team, board, and PE Sponsors. Work cross-functionally with every member of the executive and leadership teams to align financial objectives with company strategy. Own the KPIs, translate the data into insight each function can act on, and refine financial strategy alongside senior management.
- Reporting to Leadership, the Board, and Investors: Create and maintain accurate, insightful reports and dashboards for senior leadership, the board, and our investors. Prepare board materials and support the executive team in communicating financial performance and strategy to stakeholders.
- Close Partnership with Accounting: Work closely with the accounting team to ensure a timely and accurate financial month-end close and cash forecasting.
- Culture Impact: We value curiosity, low ego, and high ownership. We're looking for people who dig into new tools and problems, bring solutions rather than just questions, and are hungry to grow.
- Data Architect from a Finance lens: Optimize our technology stack—including Salesforce, NetSuite, and Power BI—with an architectural mindset that supports future growth and scalability.
- Ad Hoc Analysis and Special Projects: Deliver fast, decision-grade analysis for senior management on the questions that come up between reporting cycles.

- Comfortable operating as both a strategic finance leader and a hands-on practitioner, with a willingness to personally own financial models, reporting, board materials, forecasting processes, and ad hoc analysis.
