Strategic Finance Lead

What You’ll Do

Financial Modeling & Forecasting

• Own and evolve Solace financial model: ARR, retention, CAC payback, burn/runway, and unit economics.

Annual & Long-Term Planning

• Lead the annual planning cycle, including headcount, revenue targets, expense budgets, and scenario modeling.
• Collaborate with leadership on multi-year financial strategy.

Board Reporting

• Lead the preparation of board materials and presentations, distilling insights into actionable narratives.

Accounting Partnership

• Work closely with our outsourced accounting firm to support the monthly close and investor-ready reporting.

Automation & Systems

• Build automation into reporting, forecasting, and finance workflows.

• Bring innovative ideas—and bring them to life.

• Be autonomous. You’ll take full ownership of your work, and you take responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way.

• Rapidly produce and launch concepts while laughing in the face of potential failure.

• Serve as the go-to liaison with cross-functional partners. Define initiative-level roadmaps of supporting workstreams to ensure work delivers on goals and your deadlines are met.

• Provide up-to-date visibility into current projects and ensure the right stakeholders and cross-functional team members are involved at the right time. You’ll document decisions and action items and follow up with owners on commitments.

What You Bring to the Table

• A bias toward action and execution. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you thrive on timelines that would be unrealistic for most others.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a refined palate for controlled chaos.
• Unfettered creativity.
• Intuition on what it takes to win.
• Great communication skills that help you work across departments to make visions come to life.
• No job too big or too small.
• 4+ years of relevant experience in Investment Banking, Private Equity, Hedge Funds, or Strategic Finance at a startup.
