Our Ways of Working

Babylist is remote-first with team members across the U.S. and Canada who move fast, think smart, and use AI as part of how they work every day — not as an experiment, as an expectation. We come together twice a year to build the relationships behind the work, and we hire people who are genuinely excited about what's possible and prove it through how they show up.

What the Role Is

We are looking for a Corporate Finance Manager to join our growing Finance team. In this role, you will partner closely with the Director of Corporate Finance and VP of Finance across consolidations, opex, balance sheet and cash flow forecasting, internal business reviews, board reporting, and ad hoc analyses.

You will contribute to financial reporting delivered to executive leadership and other stakeholders, including our board and investors. This role requires a high degree of independent ownership, rigorous accuracy, and proactive communication — along with a hands-on approach to using AI to automate and improve how we work. This is a core part of how the team operates, not a separate or optional skill.

This is not a large-company finance function. You will own the full three-statement model — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow — end to end. If you’ve primarily supported a portion of the financials or relied on clearly defined processes and handoffs, this will be a meaningful stretch. If you’ve owned the full picture, built the process as you go, and take pride in delivering clean, decision-ready work, you’ll thrive here.

Who You Are

• 5–8 years in FP&A or Corporate Finance, with 1–2 years at the Manager level preferred or equivalent ownership and scope in a lean, cross-functional finance environment. Experience across high-growth and/or public companies is a plus
• You have an advanced understanding of corporate financial planning, reporting, and analysis, including balance sheet and cash flow mechanics and how the three statements connect
• You’re highly proficient in Excel / Google Sheets and have experience building executive- and board-level materials in PowerPoint / Google Slides
• You have experience working in financial planning systems such as NetSuite Planning & Budgeting, Oracle Hyperion, or similar tools
• You can present financial insights clearly and directly to executive leadership and board-level audiences, connecting the numbers to what’s happening in the business
• You demonstrate strong independent ownership and problem-solving — able to take an ambiguous problem, define the approach, and drive to a clear answer without needing day-to-day direction
• You have a high bar for accuracy and quality control, with consistent habits around building checks into models and decks, reconciling outputs, and catching errors before they reach stakeholders
• You proactively manage your own workplan, keeping stakeholders informed, surfacing risks early, and delivering on commitments without needing to be chased
• You have hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) in finance workflows, with clear examples of automating reporting, accelerating analysis, or improving modeling
• You’re motivated to operate in a fast-paced, growing, and ambiguous environment, where priorities shift and not everything is fully defined
• You have a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration
• You’re genuinely excited about what AI can do — not just as a concept, but as something you actively use in your day-to-day work

How You Will Make An Impact

• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual FP&A processes, including forecast timelines, key milestones, and long-range financial planning
• Build and maintain integrated income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow models that leadership can rely on
• Analyze actuals vs. expectations and deliver clear, data-backed variance commentary tied to underlying business drivers
• Prepare and contribute to executive and board-level materials, ensuring accuracy of data and clarity of insights
• Manage company-wide opex planning, including partnership on headcount forecasting and spend management
• Develop financial models and reporting that support key business decisions and strategic initiatives
• Perform ad hoc analysis, proactively surfacing risks, opportunities, and key insights to Finance leadership and business partners
• Identify and implement AI-enabled improvements across FP&A workflows, reducing manual effort and increasing speed and consistency
• Build and maintain strong quality control practices across all deliverables, including reconciliations and self-QC before work is shared

About Compensation

We use a market-based approach to compensation. The starting salary range for this role is:

US $142,677 to $171,229
$141,700 to $177,100
