Lead FP&A and Deal Desk Associate

About Us

At Fundraise Up, we are reimagining the fundraising platform to create the fastest and most convenient way to donate to non-profit organizations. Our innovation is aimed at enhancing loading speeds, boosting conversion rates, offering diverse payment methods, and more. Each month, individuals worldwide donate tens of millions of dollars through our platform.

We are the go-to fundraising solution for some of the world's leading non-profit organizations. UNICEF, The Obama Foundation, the Alzheimer's Association, and many others leverage our platform for their online fundraising needs.

About the Role

Nonprofit donations don't behave like SaaS contracts, and our forecast shouldn't treat them that way. This role builds the methodology that turns donation volume into an accurate, trusted revenue forecast for the whole company. You'll sit between Finance and Sales, translating pipeline data into deal value logic that actually reflects donor behavior. You'll build playbook in a highly visible individual contributor role with significant impact to the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Build the methodology to forecast first-year revenue from new customers, using donation volume data instead of contract values. These are not typical SaaS contracts, so we are looking for someone who can develop models based on non-financial data

Partner with Sales, RevOps, and Finance to validate pipeline data and keep deal value logic consistent with actual and expected donation behavior

Design and maintain a standard model for deal value estimation, using internal benchmarks and historical donation patterns

Build reporting that flags gaps between sales pipeline, donation data, and realized revenue

Support forecast accuracy and board-level reporting, keeping CRM pipeline and financial models aligned

Work with Product and Data teams to improve visibility into nonprofit donation flows

Advise Sales on the financial structure of complex or high-impact deals

Document the forecasting process so it can scale as the GTM team grows

At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve

Skills and Qualifications

5+ years of FP&A or revenue forecasting experience, ideally including exposure to working alongside a sales team or working in a Deal Desk function
