About the Role
Sentry is seeking a Director of FP&A to build and own the core financial planning and operating rhythms for the company. This role involves leading company-wide forecasting, planning, reporting, and partnering with Accounting and business leaders to translate strategy into financial plans. It is a hands-on leadership position for someone who has designed FP&A processes and is comfortable with details and independent operation.
Responsibilities
- Own Sentry's company-wide forecasting, annual planning, and long-range planning processes, including the consolidated financial model and corporate roll-up.
- Build a clear and repeatable operating cadence around forecasts, budget-to-actual performance, variance analysis, and communication of financial results.
- Partner closely with Accounting during the monthly and quarterly close, providing accrual inputs, budget-to-actual analysis, and variance explanations.
- Own company-wide headcount planning and forecasting, working closely with People and functional leaders.
- Lead the financial component of Board and executive reporting, turning company performance and underlying drivers into clear, decision-ready materials.
- Serve as a trusted finance partner to leaders across the company, helping them understand their businesses, evaluate tradeoffs, and make better resource-allocation decisions.
- Oversee Sentry's approach to cost management, including cloud, AI infrastructure, vendor, and other major areas of company spend.
- Improve the systems, models, reporting, and data infrastructure that support FP&A, eliminating unnecessary manual work and increasing the speed and quality of decision-making.
- Build strong working relationships across Finance, Accounting, People, Engineering, and the rest of Sentry.
- Raise the quality bar for FP&A as Sentry continues to grow, identifying what should be standardized, automated, redesigned, or added over time.
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including leading planning/forecasting processes end to end.
- Prior people-management experience preferred.
- Demonstrated experience designing or rebuilding elements of an FP&A/planning function.
- Experience partnering with an accounting/controller function on close (BvA, accruals, variance analysis) without owning transactional accounting.
- Experience building and presenting exec-level materials.
- Self-sufficient builder who enjoys creating structure around ambiguous or underdeveloped processes.
- Ability to be close to the details but communicate what matters to executives.
- Belief that great FP&A is about business partnership and judgment as much as building models.
- Enjoyment in creating simple, durable processes rather than adding complexity or bureaucracy.
- High standards for accuracy and analytical rigor, with the ability to prioritize speed when necessary.
- Desire for meaningful ownership and comfort operating with a high degree of independence in a fast-moving environment.
