Klaviyo's Strategic Finance & Analytics team helps leaders understand, measure, and plan for business performance. We work closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Go-to-Market, and Finance partners to turn complex data into financial insight that informs investment decisions, planning, and long-term growth.
As Klaviyo expands its platform and launches new AI-powered products, more of our business is becoming consumption-based. That makes it increasingly important to connect what customers do on our platform to what we earn and what it costs us to deliver.
We're looking for a Lead Strategic Finance & Analytics Engineer to build and maintain the models that forecast Klaviyo's recognized revenue and cost of goods sold (COGS). This role blends data science, finance, and data engineering. You'll build scalable, production-quality forecasting systems, and you'll understand the financial mechanics well enough to make them useful for planning.
The role starts with a focus on recognized revenue forecasting. From there, you'll build out COGS forecasts, beginning with consumption-aligned infrastructure costs such as message sending and LLM usage, and extending to the rest of our cost base. As more of our products move to consumption models, the systems you build will be the foundation for how we plan, price, and understand margin.
You'll report into Strategic Finance & Analytics and partner closely with FP&A, Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Go-to-Market teams. This is a hands-on technical role. You'll own models end to end, set standards for how forecasts are built and evaluated, and help the team grow its capabilities.
Accurate revenue and COGS forecasts are the foundation for how Klaviyo plans investments, prices new products, and manages margin. As our portfolio adds consumption-based products, the ability to connect customer usage to revenue and delivery cost will become one of the most important inputs to our decisions. In this role, you'll build that capability from the ground up and help make forecasting a trusted, repeatable practice across the company.
