As a member of the Strategic Finance team, you'll sit at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy — partnering closely with the CFO and cross-functional leaders (Sales, Ops, Product) to drive planning, forecasting, and key business decisions. This is a highly visible, high-impact role for someone who wants to build financial infrastructure from the ground up at a fast-growing startup, not just maintain what already exists.

You'll move fluidly between deep analytical work and strategic conversations with leadership, and you'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity

Responsibilities

  • Own and continuously evolve the company’s long-range financial plan, integrating revenue, operating, and investment assumptions and developing scenario and sensitivity analyses to inform strategic priorities and capital allocation
  • Partner with the CFO on fundraising prep — investor materials, board decks, data rooms, and diligence support
  • Analyze unit economics to inform go-to-market and investment decisions
  • Support ad hoc strategic projects — new market entry, headcount planning, capital allocation, M&A evaluation
  • Help build scalable finance processes and systems as the company grows
  • Translate complex financial analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for non-finance stakeholders

    • Required Skills

  • 3–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, consulting, or strategic finance/FP&A
  • Advanced Excel/financial modeling skills; comfort building models from scratch
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail
  • Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex analysis into a clear narrative for executives and the board
  • A bias toward action and comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
  • Experience with fundraising, board reporting, or investor relations is a plus
  • Strong understanding of core accounting concepts and financial statements, including how business activity flows through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement
  • Familiarity with SaaS/hardware metrics and startup finance (burn, runway, ARR, gross margin) is a plus
