Head of Strategic Finance

What You'll Own

• Build and run the company P&L, forecasting, and long-range growth models for a business growing 100%+ YoY. Own the annual operating plan, monthly close-to-forecast variance analysis, and board/investor reporting.
• Own unit economics & product-finance: LTV, CAC, LTV:CAC, ARPU, contribution margin, payback, cohort retention. Surface correlations and causations that lift growth and translate them into product and pricing opportunities.
• Lead commercial & vendor activities: RFP, procurement, contract negotiation, and ongoing vendor/partner management for new services and partnerships (sponsor/BaaS banks, HYSA, mortgage & insurance referral partners, key vendors). Negotiate the economics.
• Lead and develop the finance & analytics org: Analytics/BI team, Fractional CFO, and Controller. Deliver clean books, reliable BI, and a single source of truth for decision-making.
• Strategic partnership with CEO and executives on capital efficiency, resource allocation, new-product business cases, and capital strategy.

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

• A trusted, single-source financial model and metrics layer the exec team runs the business on.
• Per-product unit-economics visibility that has directly informed at least one growth or margin decision.
• A repeatable RFP/procurement/vendor process, with materially improved terms on at least one major partnership.
• A high-functioning finance + analytics team with clean, reliable reporting.

How You Work

• Hands-on: build the model yourself.
• Thrive in ambiguity, thin support, and 100%+ YoY change.
• Low ego, high ownership. Peer-partner to the CEO, product and marketing leaders; translate finance into tactical decisions.
• Strong written communication for board materials, decision docs, and negotiation memos.

What We're Looking For

• 8–15+ years combining a foundation in investment banking / PE / growth equity / top-tier consulting with operating strategic finance / FP&A / BizOps at a high-growth (100%+ YoY) consumer fintech — ideally through a Series B→C/D scaling and a path-to-profitability inflection.
• Personally built the financial model and owned unit economics for a subscription and/or transaction/interchange business.
• Deep fluency in fintech/PFM & neobank unit economics — LTV:CAC (≥3:1), CAC payback.
• Data-native — fluent in SQL/warehouse workflows; able to run and level up an analytics team.
• Commercial/deal chops — led RFP → procurement → negotiation and can quantify the economics captured.

Nice to Have

• Operated through a new-product launch on top of a core subscription business (banking, HYSA, lending, or referral marketplaces).
• Experience partnering with (or managing) a data/analytics org through a finance-data integration.
• Exposure to AI-augmented finance workflows and modern data tooling.
