Description
Cockroach Labs is seeking a Director of FP&A to reimagine the FP&A function from the ground up and lead it into the next era of finance.
The successful candidate will report directly to the CFO and architect a fundamentally different way of working, one where AI handles routine, data-intensive work, and FP&A operates as a real-time decision engine.
Key responsibilities include:

- Owning long-range strategic planning and building a long-range financial model
- Leading the company-wide planning and forecasting process, shifting to rolling, continuously updated forecasts
- Serving as a strategic finance partner to the CFO and executive team
- Leading the design and delivery of board materials and investor-facing packages
- Driving interactive, real-time scenario modeling
- Deploying self-serve financial intelligence across the business
- Leading a lean, high-impact FP&A team
The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of progressive experience in finance, spanning investment banking, private equity, and/or FP&A at a high-growth company, with a strong foundation in financial modeling and analysis.
Requirements include:
- Fluency with recurring and consumption-based revenue models and metrics
- A strong ownership instinct and bias toward speed
- A track record of driving AI or technology-led transformation of a finance function
- Strong financial modeling, scenario analysis, and integrated three-statement forecasting skills
- Experience building and presenting board-level and investor-facing financial materials
- Familiarity with modern AI-enabled FP&A tooling landscape
- Exceptional executive presence and ability to translate machine-generated intelligence into human narrative
