Who We Are:
At Emburse, you’ll not just imagine the future – you’ll build it. As a leader in travel and expense solutions, we are creating a future where technology drives business value and inspires extraordinary results. Our AI-powered platform helps organizations modernize financial operations, increase visibility, and optimize spend across the enterprise.
We are seeking a Director, Financial Planning and Analysis to lead and serve as the senior finance business partner to our Go-to-Market and functional leadership teams.

The Director will own the full B/U FP&A function, including Revenue forecasting, expense management across commercial and operational functions, and the planning and forecasting process for the business units. They will lead a team and be expected to elevate both the analytical output and the business partnering capability of the team in supporting Emburse’s growth.
The ideal candidate is a mature finance leader who has supported a full P&L, with demonstrated depth across GTM and SaaS revenue drivers, including ARR, bookings, pipeline analytics, and customer economics, as well as the commercial expense structures underpinning the SaaS business model.
