Finance Manager, Marketing

Zapier wants a Finance Manager to act as the embedded money partner for its marketing department. The person takes ownership of the money side of one of the company's most important spending areas, including headcount, budgets and channel investment, and connects that activity to pipeline and revenue results.

Reporting to the Head of GTM Finance, the Finance Manager works with marketing leadership and with the sales and corporate planning teams to join up marketing, sales and company-wide financial reporting. Day to day, this means running the marketing financial plan: staffing forecasts, budget construction and monitoring actual spend, so leaders always see where they stand against plan.

Further duties involve examining how spend is divided between demand generation and brand building, and reporting return by channel. The role projects pipeline from planned spend to inform go-to-market goals and recurring revenue models, and tracks purchase orders and vendor commitments to surface overspending early. It also works with the Data team to agree consistent definitions for leads, marketing-qualified leads and opportunities.

Ideal applicants have four to six or more years of accounting or finance work, including at least two years supporting marketing or go-to-market teams. Experience from a large accounting firm, an investment bank or a consultancy, where they owned operating expenses, is a plus. The successful candidate handles a budget from start to finish, explains variances clearly to non-finance colleagues, and frames vague questions without needing them spelled out.

Helpful tools include Google Sheets, HubSpot, Zip, NetSuite, and warehouse tools such as Snowflake or Databricks. The post also expects AI to be applied to routine finance tasks, such as chunks of the monthly close and forecast refreshes.

No specific work location is named in the posting, which describes Zapier as an all-remote company that cannot have employees working permanently in certain countries. Applications are expected to stay open for 30 days from the September 21, 2026 posting date.
