ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software for critical operations like tracking performance metrics, handling customer support workflows, building admin dashboards, and countless other processes you might not have even thought of. But most companies don't have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows.

At Retool, we’re building the first enterprise AppGen platform : software that transforms natural language into production-ready code, integrates directly with business data, and meets the highest standards of security and governance. AI is redefining what it means to build software—and who gets to build it. The definition of “developer” now includes analysts, operators, and domain experts creating solutions directly. As the pool of builders widens, so does the complexity of what they need to build. The opportunity is enormous, but so is the challenge of enabling this larger community to build production-grade software safely. That means AI that understands real business data, enforces enterprise policies automatically, and empowers teams to create once and reuse everywhere with shared, trusted components.

Over 100 million hours of work has been automated by developers and domain experts using our platform, freeing them to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic initiatives that drive real business value. The people closest to knowing what needs to be built can now safely create custom solutions within enterprise guardrails. And that's a mission worth striving for.

Let’s build the future together!

WHY WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU

We are looking for an experienced Strategic Finance leader, who can partner with our CEO, and other executives to help us make thoughtful investment decisions and drive strong execution against the company’s short and long term financial targets. As Head of Strategic Finance, you will report to our Chief Financial Officer and will lead a team that is responsible for building out our core finance capabilities, including financial planning, budgeting, reporting, and forecasting.

You will also serve as a strategic thought partner to leaders across the business, helping assess the impact of key initiatives and evaluating the return on these investments so that we allocate capital effectively.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead quarterly, annual, and long-range planning processes and use them to help guide investment decision-making and resource allocation
  • Partner with leaders across the business, from product and engineering, to GTM, to operations, and support strategic decision-making and initiative prioritization
  • Deliver timely reporting packages and provide insights on key business trends, using them to identify levers for driving growth and efficiency
  • Define KPIs and create dashboards that help us better monitor the financial and operational health of the business
  • Prepare deep-dive analyses to better understand key drivers of the business and identify opportunities to improve performance and unit economics
  • Drive projects to evaluate new investment opportunities and create business cases for key initiatives
  • Support the CEO and CFO on communications to investors and other external stakeholders

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING

  • 10+ years of work experience and a Bachelor’s Degree. An MBA or other advanced degree is a plus
  • Prior experience in investment banking, PE / VC, or management consulting, as well as experience working in a Finance operating role at a high-growth technology company. SaaS industry experience is required and exposure to AI and usage-based business models is preferred
  • Excellent analytical problem-solving skills with ability to unearth insights and turn them into recommendations and action plans
  • Strong management skills, including experience scaling and leading high-performance teams, while rolling up sleeves as needed
  • Highly proficient in Excel / Sheets with strong modeling skills and attention to detail. Intermediate SQL knowledge is strongly preferred
  • Ability to effectively build and maintain cross-functional relationships, manage multiple competing priorities, and drive projects to completion
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to synthesize findings and concisely articulate them to an array of audiences
  • Self‑starter with a demonstrated ability to adapt to a rapidly‑changing environment and execute on many projects at once
  • Pay & Benefits

    For candidates based in San Francisco, the pay range for this role is listed above and represents base salary for non‑commissionable roles or on‑target earnings for commissionable roles. Additional compensation may include equity, commissions, or bonuses. Retool offers a comprehensive benefit plan, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
