Lead Finance Partner

Job description

POS-15360 Lead Finance Partner: Product FP&A US - Remote Role Summary Our mission at HubSpot is to help millions of organizations grow better. As a Product FP&A Lead Finance Partner, you'll own the financial strategy and forecasting for HubSpot's triple-digit-$M platform cost base, partnering with Engineering, Infrastructure, and Procurement to turn complex cloud and AI economics into clear business decisions. This is an individual contributor role on a lean team with regular, direct exposure to senior Finance leadership. This role blends core FP&A ownership with high-impact strategic projects: you'll run the platform COGS process while leading work across compute demand planning, 9-figure annualized vendor renewals, and feature-level cost attribution in one of the fastest-evolving cost structures in the business. High autonomy, high visibility, and real influence over how HubSpot thinks about AI infrastructure cost. Key Responsibilities Lead Platform COGS planning, forecasting, and business partnership with Eng and TPM as the Finance DRI — driving forecast accuracy and leadership-ready cost insights through recurring business reviews, with process automation where it adds leverage. Lead financial modeling and scenario analysis for HubSpot's hyperscaler contract renewal, partnering with Engineering, Infrastructure, Procurement, and Finance leadership to shape contract strategy and monitor commitments. Build durable, driver-based forecasting frameworks for LLM/compute demand and platform spend, translating technical metrics — compute, storage, networking, model usage — into workload-level forecasts that scale with HubSpot's AI infrastructure needs. Partner with Engineering and Data teams to connect platform usage and infrastructure architecture to feature-level cost attribution and gross-margin analysis, informing pricing, packaging, and architecture decisions. Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from ambiguous questions to decision-ready recommendations, setting the pace and keeping stakeholders aligned. Minimum qualifications Experience in FP&A, strategic finance, infrastructure finance, FinOps, or similar, involving complex cost structures and cross-functional decision-making. Solid understanding of COGS, gross margin, and unit economics in a cloud, SaaS, or usage-driven environment, including how cost structures, architecture, and commercial commitments shape them. Experience building driver-based models, forecasts, and scenario/sensitivity analyses with imperfect or evolving data. Demonstrated ownership of ambiguous, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end — from analysis through recommendation and execution — with judgment on when to go deep vs. 80/20. Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders in Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, Procurement, and/or Strategy & Operations by building credibility and translating complex cloud/AI economics clearly, balancing rigor with speed. Preferred Qualifications Experience at a high-growth, multi-product SaaS, cloud infrastructure, or AI business. Experience working with large or complex datasets, with demonstrated ability to navigate SQL workflows, AI tools, or other analytical tools to identify meaningful insights. Experience with AWS economics, including Compute Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, commitment attainment, or large cloud vendor renewals. Experience supporting AI or LLM infrastructure planning, including GPU demand, model usage, model routing, or related cost drivers. Experience developing product-, feature-, or workload-level cost attribution and unit-economic frameworks.
