What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manager, Finance position at Webflow?
Webflow is a fast-growing, mission-driven startup leading the emerging no-code industry. We’ve built a sustainable business to empower everyone to create websites and web apps without having to learn to code.
We’re looking for a Finance Manager to partner with the business on strategy and execution to enable and accelerate long-term growth for Webflow, bring understanding and predictability to Webflow’s financials, and provide financial insights and analytics to inform strategic decision making.
About the role
- Location: San Francisco HQ or US remote
- Full-time
As a Finance Manager, you will
- Lead strategic and financial planning process, including budget and headcount model, and manage effective communications and prioritization across the organization to enable and accelerate long term growth and sustainability of Webflow
- Own budget, forecast and actual variance process to provide monthly insights to budget owners
- Identify actionable insights in Webflow’s financial data and strategic levers to accelerate growth, and uncover key opportunities for business impact through rigorous, fact-based, and quantitative analysis
- Provide regular analysis and reporting in a clear, concise, and impactful way to our internal and external stakeholders to ensure key drivers, variances, issues, and required actions are deeply understood
- Measure business performance, proactively highlight risks, improve forecasts and opportunities, and design and implement actionable recommendations

That said, these responsibilities are just the start! At Webflow, we encourage you to contribute wherever your interests take you — and shape your role accordingly. And this isn’t just a philosophical bent: we actually give you 4 hours a week (10% of the work week) to pursue passion projects outside of your role responsibilities.
About you
You’ll thrive as a Finance Manager if you:
- Have progressive finance or analytics experience in a fast-paced environment scaling high-growth businesses in the Technical industry, preferably at a SaaS focused business
- Are well-versed in data-driven decision making, complex financial modeling, ROI and scenario analysis with the ability to distill complex business information in a consumable way

- Are a strategic thinker, self-starter, excellent communicator with strong intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, diligence, and a learning and growth mindset
If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements.
