  • Build strategic frameworks and scenario models – develop forward‑looking models that quantify strategic options and inform executive decision‑making.
  • Drive performance visibility – build dashboards and reporting frameworks that highlight performance trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Shape strategic decision‑making – deliver actionable insights that guide prioritization, resource allocation, and GTM execution.
  • Tell the financial story – translate complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives for executives, the board, and investors.
  • Support board and investor communications – partner with the CFO to prepare board materials, investor updates, and long‑term financial narratives that align strategy and performance.
  • Enhance financial systems and processes – partner with Accounting, IT, and Data to scale financial planning infrastructure and improve forecast accuracy.
  • Lead high‑impact strategic initiatives – collaborate cross‑functionally on projects such as pricing, monetization, M&A evaluation, and AI enablement.
  • Build and lead a high‑impact team – recruit, develop, and support Strategic Finance professionals in a culture that values curiosity, accountability, and collaboration.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years in investment banking, private equity, consulting, or strategic finance – ideally with exposure to high‑growth SaaS or technology companies.
  • 4+ years in corporate FP&A or Strategic Finance with direct business partnership experience.
  • Proven ability to lead strategic planning, forecasting, and financial analysis across complex, multi‑product, or multi‑region organizations.
  • Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills – you can turn data into insight and insight into action.
  • Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to influence senior executives and simplify complex topics.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS unit economics (ARR, CAC, CLTV, churn, payback, gross margin, etc.) and drivers of enterprise value.
  • Strong balance of strategic vision and hands‑on execution – comfortable driving longer‑term direction while staying deeply engaged in the details that matter.
  • A proactive, high‑ownership mindset and bias for action.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
  • Experience with Oracle NetSuite, Looker, SQL, or modern planning tools is a plus.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Benefits

    Competitive compensation, stock options; flexible PTO and 9 paid sick days; mental wellness program; company stipend towards gym and wellness membership; commuter stipend; company‑sponsored best‑in‑class health benefits.

    Equal Opportunity Employer
