  • Prioritize growth bets and balance growth, profitability, and cash runway.
  • Design and maintain the optimal capital structure (debt vs. equity mix, leverage targets).
  • Oversee liquidity planning, cash / treasury policies, and working-capital efficiency.

  • Ensure projections, narratives, and KPIs align with investor expectations and market comps.
  • Craft the investor narrative, KPIs, and reporting cadence (monthly / quarterly updates, investor materials).
  • Support the CEO and the Director of Investment & Strategy in investor meetings, roadshows, and follow-ups, maintaining a high-credibility IR cadence.
  • Track peer benchmarks, valuation drivers, and market sentiment to inform messaging and timing.
  • Source and evaluate opportunities; lead valuation (DCF, comps, precedent), synergy modeling, and deal structuring support.
  • Drive diligence, integration planning, and post-close performance tracking.
  • Own the long-range plan; run scenario and stress tests (base / downside / upside).
  • Partner with Controller to connect strategy to AOP / forecast and translate insights into actions.
  • Prepare investor materials and recommendations; maintain finance policies and a clear governance framework.
  • Partner with cross-functional leaders (GTM, Product, Ops, People) to translate strategy into actionable plans.

Qualifications

  • 8–12+ years in Strategic Finance / Corporate Development / Investment Banking / Private Equity / Capital Markets / Investor Relations within high-growth environments.
  • Demonstrated experience in capital raises (debt / equity) and M&A execution.
  • Expert financial modeling and valuation; advanced scenario planning and capital structure analysis.
  • Executive-level communication; credible with investors, lenders, and the Board.
  • Advanced Excel; Word, PowerPoint, familiarity with BI tools (e.g., Looker / Power BI) and ERP (e.g., NetSuite / QuickBooks / Intacct).
