About the role

Strategic Finance (50%)

  • Build dashboards and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into revenue, burn, unit economics, and key operating metrics
  • Own financial planning and analysis including annual planning, rolling forecasts, and headcount modeling
  • Support fundraising, investor relations, and strategic transactions such as M&A and partnerships with data-driven analysis and materials
  • Develop and maintain the financial infrastructure needed to operate efficiently as we scale from Series B toward growth stage

Business Operations (50%)

  • Take on high-priority, ambiguous projects that move the needle: pricing strategy, market analysis, new market entry, partnership evaluation, sales compensation design, or whatever the business needs most
  • Build operational infrastructure and processes as the company scales: the systems, workflows, and playbooks that do not exist yet
  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering to bring financial and analytical rigor to business decisions
  • Drive procurement, vendor evaluation, and cost optimization across the company
  • Identify and solve operational bottlenecks before they become problems

Who You Are

  • 2 to 5 years of experience with a strong foundation in investment banking, private equity, or consulting, followed by experience at a high-growth technology company (Series A to D preferred)
  • You have built financial models extensively. Excel and Google Sheets are extensions of your brain
  • You thrive in ambiguity. You do not need a playbook. You write the playbook
  • High agency, low ego. You will build a board deck in the morning and chase down a missing invoice in the afternoon. No task is beneath you
  • Exceptional judgment and prioritization. You know the difference between what is important and what is urgent
  • Strong communicator who can distill complexity into clear, actionable recommendations for founders and leadership
  • SQL proficiency required. Python or BI tools are a plus
  • Comfortable operating with incomplete information and making decisions at speed
  • You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. When you see a problem, you fix it
