Job Description

Senior Manager, G&A Finance Business Partner at 8x8 empowering CX leaders with strategic financial insights. Responsible for driving initiatives that create measurable value in G&A departments.

Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the primary finance partner to G&A department heads, understanding their specific operations, challenges, and goals—and treating their targets as your own
  • Act as a co-pilot and navigator, not a spreadsheet reporter: join strategy meetings, contribute to operational planning, and proactively surface opportunities without being asked
  • Build deep subject matter expertise in each G&A function's key workflows, cost drivers, and efficiency levers (e.g., contract cycle time in Legal, time-to-hire in HR, application rationalization in IT, close cycle time in Finance Operations)
  • Challenge the status quo and push back on assumptions in a way that feels collaborative—bringing options and recommendations rather than just identifying problems
  • Identify value-creating initiatives across G&A departments by applying unit-economics thinking: cost per transaction, cycle time per process, cost per hire, license cost per user, and similar operational building blocks
  • Build financial models from scratch to size opportunities—stating assumptions explicitly, keeping variables minimal, and inviting partners to stress-test the logic
  • Prioritize competing initiatives using structured frameworks (impact vs. effort, risk-adjusted ROI, payback period) so department leaders can allocate scarce resources to the highest-value work
  • Anchor analysis in data from Workday, Salesforce, NetSuite, Pigment, and Snowflake; when data is unavailable, communicate clearly what is being assumed and why
  • Frame financial recommendations in the language of the business partner's goals, not just finance goals—translating data into decisions that resonate with operational leaders
  • Present analysis effectively to department leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, connecting financial performance to operational actions
  • Surface cross-functional dependencies early so initiatives don't stall at departmental boundaries; coordinate joint planning when initiatives span multiple C-suite owners
  • Draft and deliver executive-ready recommendations that enable department heads to make informed decisions on hiring, spending, and strategy
  • Drive projects that operationalize insights with an execution mindset—get the right things done, not just the right things identified
  • Champion automation and process improvement to reduce manual effort across G&A workflows (e.g., touchless AP/AR transactions, automated data feeds to Pigment, self-service analytics adoption)
  • Follow through on commitments and deliver on time; when priorities shift, adapt quickly without losing the thread
  • Support the broader finance organization through mentorship, skills transfer, and raising the analytical bar across the team

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated, hands-on proficiency in Pigment, including model-building, scenario analysis, and dashboard design; this is a hard requirement and candidates without Pigment experience will not be advanced
  • Strong financial modeling skills with the ability to build models from scratch and communicate assumptions clearly
  • Demonstrated track record as a strategic partner to operational leaders—not just a reporting function
  • Excellent communication and executive presence; comfortable presenting to and challenging C-suite leaders
  • Experience identifying, sizing, and driving cross-functional efficiency initiatives
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
  • 5–10+ years of progressive finance experience, with experience in an FP&A or finance business partner role supporting G&A or corporate functions is preferred
  • Experience in a SaaS or technology environment is preferred
  • Familiarity with Workday, Salesforce, NetSuite, and Snowflake is preferred
  • MBA or CPA is preferred

Benefits:

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Flexible work hours
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Remote work options
