Strategic Finance & Operations

Responsibilities

• Drive strategic analyses that inform how we price, invest, and compete, translating complex data into clear recommendations for the business
• Partner with Sales, RevOps, Marketing, and Engineering as the connective tissue between Finance and the rest of the company
• Help build the financial infrastructure for a company expanding internationally
• Build and maintain financial models that drive planning, investment decisions, and long-term growth
• Take on high-impact ad hoc projects that do not fit neatly into a job description but provide outsized leverage to the business

Requirements

• 3 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, management consulting, or a similarly rigorous analytical role, with high-growth SaaS experience strongly preferred
• Technically sharp and able to turn ambiguous data into a narrative that drives strategic decision-making
• Fluent in SaaS business models and able to connect metrics to the operating decisions that move them
• Excellent written and verbal communicator who can make complex ideas land with any audience
• High ownership and low ego, caring more about getting it right than getting credit
• Naturally curious with a bias toward action, eager to dig in, figure it out, and move things forward without waiting to be asked
• Location
• This is an on-site role based in our NYC or SF office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
