Program Manager, Product & Technology

We're on a mission to help every company hit their numbers.

The world has evolved, but business planning has not. Most Finance teams still manage their planning and analysis in spreadsheets, yet the ones who replace them end up going back over 80% of the time. Cube is the first spreadsheet-native FP&A platform to deliver faster planning and performance without changing how teams work.  Cube’s powerful engine connects to existing spreadsheets and source systems, delivering all of the benefits of enterprise-level FP&A with none of the headaches.

To date, Cube has raised over $65M of venture capital from top-tier investors such as Battery Ventures and Mayfield. Together, we’re building a culture that challenges and celebrates everyone with a path to growth. That’s where you come in! We’re happily headquartered in New York City. As we enter our next phase of growth, we believe Cubers are the reason we win.
