Head of FP&A / Director The Company Aven Hospitality  is an independent global technology and SaaS leader in the hospitality industry, powering how hotels sell, distribute, and deliver guest experiences. Formerly Sabre Hospitality Solutions and established as a standalone company in 2025, we rebranded as Aven Hospitality in January 2026 — and we’re just getting started. Our flagship SynXis platform is the industry’s leading commerce and distribution engine, synchronizing rates, content, availability, payments, and guest profiles across 600+ integrations. Trusted by 35,000+ hotels across 190+ countries, we serve as the connective layer behind many of the world’s most iconic hospitality brands.

Backed by private equity, with 1,000+ employees and strong revenue at scale, Aven is a rare blend: the resources and reach of an enterprise platform with the speed, ambition, and culture of a growth-stage company. The Opportunity This isn’t a role where you inherit a fully built machine and keep the lights on. This is a build-and-scale opportunity. Aven Hospitality  is standing up its finance function as an independent company for the first time. We need a  Head of FP&A  who can architect the planning, forecasting, and analytics engine from the ground up — someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and sees white space as an invitation to create something great. You’ll report directly to the SVP of Finance and collaborate closely with the VP of Professional Services, Sales Operations Director, and Controller. If you’ve been looking for a seat at the table where your work directly shapes strategy, capital allocation, and the trajectory of a scaled SaaS business entering its next chapter — this is it. The Role As Head of FP&A, you’ll serve as a strategic finance partner across every department — Sales, Marketing, R&D, Customer Success, and Professional Services. You’ll own company-wide financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance analysis. You’ll manage a small team today with the mandate to mentor, develop, and grow a high-performing FP&A function over time. You’re equal parts analyst, operator, and strategic advisor. You speak fluent SaaS — ARR waterfalls, cohort analysis, retention curves, expansion revenue — and you translate numbers into narratives that drive executive decisions. You build models that move the business, not just report on it. What You’ll Own Financial Planning & Forecasting Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasting processes for company-wide revenue, costs, and margins Develop driver-based financial models for recurring revenue, customer retention, headcount, and departmental budgets Own the Long Range Plan SaaS model, the Annual Budget process, and the rolling 4-quarter forecast for the company Partner with department leaders to manage operating plans, headcount, and expense forecasts SaaS Metrics & Revenue Intelligence Be the company’s expert on SaaS bookings modeling — truly understand the drivers of the business and how to influence action to reaccelerate ARR growth Analyze cohort performance, net retention, expansion revenue, churn waterfall, and snowball effects to provide actionable insights Model gross and net retention, ARR bookings, and quota-carrying rep productivity and capacity Provide deep insights into “source of truth” topline KPIs and trends, driving automation and consistency in revenue and metric reporting Forecast SaaS business performance with precision, translating leading indicators into forward-looking views for leadership and the board Business Partnering & Strategic Advisory Act as a trusted advisor and strategic finance partner to department heads, building strong, collaborative relationships across the organization Support contract structuring, pricing strategy, and profitability analysis Review key initiatives (new product launches, marketing programs, services engagements) for financial viability and ROI Analyze revenue-to-expense ratios to optimize resource allocation and improve sales efficiency Develop a regular cadence to update and mature market share analysis, competitive analysis, and strategic plans Reporting, Dashboards & Analytics Deliver accurate and timely financial reports, dashboards, and KPIs for executive and departmental stakeholders Monitor performance against budgets, identify risks and opportunities, and recommend corrective actions Analyze company-wide profitability by multiple dimensions (product, customer segment, geography, channel) Implement and manage scalable policies and processes that optimize accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting, business operations, and external metric reporting Accounting & Revenue Recognition Partnership Partner with Accounting
