FP&A Senior Manager

• $10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception

• 25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a FP&A Senior Manager to support our mission.

This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 3 days per week on a hybrid work model.

About the Team

The Finance team at Patreon ensures the business runs efficiently, compliantly, and with integrity as we continue to scale globally. The FP&A Senior Manager will be part of the Strategic Finance team within Finance. You’ll work closely with the business partner finance leads, Tax, Treasury, Fin Ops, and Execs.

About the role

Patreon exists so creators can make a living doing what they love, on their own terms. In Finance, you’ll help decide how we invest to make that possible for more of them.

Finance’s mission is to Accelerate, Advise, and Protect the business. Our FP&A team is organized around capital allocation, and we hold every major investment to three questions:

• Before: Is this the best use of capital?

• During: Is it performing as expected?

• After: Was this a good use of money?

You’ll own the numbers leadership and the board use to run Patreon: the plan, the forecast, and the story behind the company’s performance. You’ll also own company-wide headcount, our largest investment, and make sure every role we add is the right use of capital. You’ll join an FP&A team that partners with every part of Patreon, from GTM to G&A to Engineering, Product & Design (EPD). We cross-train, so you’ll get to know the whole business, not just your part of it, and step in for teammates when needed.

We’re also past the “try AI” phase. Finance runs FinHacks, team-wide build days where we automate real workflows. Our first was about learning; our second is about shipping, from flux and financial model automation to executive headcount reporting and month-end close. You’ll bring that same approach to every part of your role.

What you’ll do

Corporate Reporting

• Own the monthly and quarterly reporting cycle, from P&L variance and KPIs to the commentary and materials for leadership reviews, board meetings, and investor updates

• Lead the annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, and long-range plan, working with the GTM, G&A, and EPD finance partners to bring together one company view. Build scenario models that show leadership the trade-offs behind major decisions, and flag risks early

• Maintain the core financial model and source-of-truth metrics, partnering with Accounting (NetSuite) and Data

• Streamline the planning and reporting processes, and automate the manual parts

Company Headcount

• Planning: Own the company-wide headcount plan and forecast, including hires, backfills, attrition, and cost. Keep the plan, Workday, and actuals aligned with People and Recruiting, and give leadership a clear view of where we’re hiring and how it compares to plan

• Decisions: Treat every role as an investment. Help leaders make trade-offs within their budget, such as one senior hire instead of two junior ones, or the right mix of in-house talent, external specialists, and AI. Then look back on whether the investment delivered

• Assumptions: Set, test, and refine the assumptions behind headcount cost, such as benefits and payroll taxes, attrition, merit and promotion increases, and hiring timing, so the forecast stays accurate

Cross-Functional Support

• Lean in on G&A and other business partnership work when the team needs it, from budget support to investment and spend reviews

What success looks like in year one

• You’ve run a full planning cycle and built the forecast story that leadership and the board rely on

• Monthly and board reporting is on time, trusted, and noticeably less manual

• Leadership has one trusted view of headcount, and the cost assumptions behind it have been tested against actuals

• New role requests go through a clear investment lens, and at least one hiring decision has been changed based on your analysis

• You’ve shipped at least one automation the broader Finance team uses

• Put Creators First | They’re the reason we’re here. When creators win, we win.

Patreon operates under a hybrid work model, where employees based in office locations are expected to come into the office three days per week, excluding sick time and paid leave. The goal of this policy is to be intentional about the in-person time we spend together to strengthen the feeling of community at Patreon. Candidates hired into remote-eligible roles are not expected to meet the same requirements.
