Director of Finance
Lead finance at a profitable fintech startup: own FP&A, build complex models, support enterprise deal structuring, and prepare financial stories for external stakeholders.
About the job
What you’ll do
- Create the external story: Package our business model and financials for external parties—whether that's potential partners, acquirers, or other stakeholders. Your investment banking background will be crucial here.
- Own FP&A: Oversee and maintain detailed financial models that capture our complex revenue streams. Work with the Finance and Data teams to document assumptions, outputs, and scenarios in a way that's both rigorous and understandable.
- Support Deal Desk: Help structure and price of complex enterprise deals. Work cross-functionally with sales, legal, and product to ensure deals are both financially sound and aligned with our strategic goals.
- Drive forecasting and planning: Keep our financial forecasts updated, accurate, and defensible. Automate wherever possible.
- Explore and optimize: Dig into our data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities. Bring curiosity and analytical rigor to everything you do.
- Build the function: As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to build out the finance team and establish best practices for financial operations.
What you’ll bring
- 2+ years in investment banking: You've spent time in IB and know how to build complex financial models, tell a compelling financial story, and think about businesses from a strategic perspective.
- 4+ years at growth-stage startups (ideally at least one FinTech): You've led finance teams and owned the FP&A model at fast-moving startups and understand the pace and ambiguity that comes with it. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
- $100MM+ transaction involvement: You’ve been intimately involved with multiple startup transactions, including at least one (either an investment or an acquisition) $100MM+
- Deal structuring experience: You've worked on pricing and structuring complex enterprise deals, ideally in a B2B context.
- Modeling obsessive: You genuinely enjoy building financial models and can get lost in Excel or other modeling tools. You care about getting the details right.
- Naturally curious: You ask "why" and "what if" constantly. You're drawn to complex problems and enjoy digging into data to find answers.
- Runway experience (preferred): You've used Runway for FP&A and know how to leverage it effectively.
- Low ego, high impact: You're excited to do the work yourself rather than delegating everything.
What’s cool about the role
- No board theater: We're profitable with no outside investors, which means no board meetings and no wasted time on investor relations. Your work will focus on actual financial planning and analysis.
- Complex, interesting business: Our revenue model is sophisticated and multi-faceted. If you like easy, simple SaaS businesses, this isn't the role for you. If you like intellectual challenges, you'll love it here.
- Competitive pay and equity. Base salary for this role: $220,000 to $280,000.
- Real benefits. 100% covered health (US), unlimited PTO, 12-16 weeks paid parental leave.
- Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas.
- Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.
