The Vice President of Strategic Finance & Analytics (SF&A) is a key member of Sunrun's senior finance leadership team, responsible for driving company-wide financial planning & analysis (FP&A) and delivering the data-driven insights that inform strategic and operational decision-making. This leader will serve as a critical thought partner to the CFO, CEO, and business unit leaders, translating complex financial and operational dynamics into clear, actionable perspectives.

This role owns the full SF&A function — from long-range planning and annual budgeting to monthly performance reporting and business case development — as well as the financial analytics capability that supports pricing, subscriber economics, unit margin analysis, and strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate thrives in a complex, capital-intensive business model and is equally comfortable presenting to the Board of Directors as they are rolling up their sleeves to improve a forecast model. This role will be working a minimum of 3 days per week onsite in our San Francisco corporate office.

• Identify risks and opportunities in the financial outlook and provide actionable recommendations for mitigation or capitalization.

Financial Analytics

• Build and lead a high-performing analytics function that generates insight across subscriber economics, unit margins, and functional level cost structures.

• Modernize the SF&A tech stack, leveraging AI and predictive modeling to improve the accuracy of analytics and projections.

• Support strategic initiatives—including new market entry and product launches—with rigorous financial scenario modeling.

• Translate complex energy industry metrics and non-GAAP measures into clear narratives for internal and external audiences.

• Own the financial oversight and analytical framework for Sunrun's commission and incentive programs across all functions.

• Partner with functional leaders and the People/Compensation teams to model the financial impact of plan design changes and quota-setting.

• Develop reporting and analytics to provide visibility into commission expense trends, attainment distributions, and ROI of incentive spend.

• Ensure commission accruals and forecasts are accurate and fully integrated into the broader FP&A planning cycle.

Strategic Partnership & Leadership

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the CFO and executive team on financial strategy and resource allocation.

• Lead the preparation of financial materials for Board meetings, investor relations updates, and quarterly earnings calls.

• Recruit, develop, and retain a team of high-performing finance professionals, fostering a culture of technical excellence and accountability.
