Paraform Senior Associate, FP&A at Paraform to analyze marketplace levers including recruiter incentives, pricing, and unit economics. Maintain operating model and run monthly budget vs. actuals reviews.
Responsibilities
Maintain the operating model with the VP Finance. Keep the drivers current — revenue, GMV, headcount, OpEx — and support the annual plan and quarterly reforecasts.
Model marketplace levers. Recruiter incentives and retainers, pricing and take rate, and fee structures — build the analysis behind each decision and track what happens after it ships.
Own unit economics. GMV, net revenue, take rate, recruiter payouts, cohort behavior, LTV:CAC, and payback — the numbers leadership makes pricing and incentive calls on.
Run budget vs. actuals. Monthly BvA and department-level flux review with our accounting team, with clear variance explanations for leadership.
Build the metrics layer. Partner with RevOps and BizOps to define metrics and build the dashboards leadership uses every week.
Automate with AI. We use AI heavily across the company and expect finance to as well — recurring reporting shouldn't be manual.
