Director of FP&A, R&D supporting AI technology for personal injury law at EvenUp. Managing financial planning and analysis for R&D projects related to AI and data/ML.
Responsibilities
Partner day to day with engineering, product, and data leaders as their trusted finance counterpart.
Build the analyses that shape build-vs-buy, pricing, and infrastructure decisions.
Support foundation-model and cloud vendor negotiations with data-backed positions.
Deliver clear, concise reporting and variance commentary to the CFO, FP&A leadership, and the board.
Own the R&D budget, forecast, and headcount plan across Engineering, Product, and Data/ML. Drive the re-forecast cycle and keep hiring plans tied to output and priorities.
Make LLM/inference and cloud compute cost a first-class, closely monitored metric. Build the model that tracks unit costs; monitor spend daily; and partner with engineering to find and defend efficiency. This is not a monthly-close afterthought, it's a core operating metric of the business.
Own the connection between usage, inference cost, and gross margin. Model the margin impact of new products, pricing changes, and model/infrastructure choices, and make the tradeoffs legible to leadership.
Bring financial rigor to major R&D spend decisions including foundation-model and API contracts, cloud commitments, data, and dev tooling, including negotiation support and ROI cases.
Requirements
8+ years in FP&A / corporate finance, with meaningful time supporting R&D, Engineering, or a technical/product org.

Strong SQL (BigQuery a major plus) and expert Excel/Sheets modeling, with clean, maintainable model architecture.
Strong grasp of how R&D spend flows through the P&L.
Ability to be a genuine partner to technical leaders, holding substantive conversations with engineering or ML leads to translate technical work into financial views.
Precise, low-ego, self-directed, and concise work ethic.
Nice to have: Experience at a high-growth AI/ML company, familiarity with modern data stacks, contract negotiation experience, people management experience, and CPA/CA/CFA.
Nice to have: Familiarity with a modern data stack (dbt, EPMs) and building repeatable, auditable finance pipelines.
