Job Description

As we scale, we’re building out a Strategic Finance team to elevate how we plan, allocate resources, and assess performance across the business. This role will help shape a finance function in rapid-growth mode and directly influence product strategy, investment decisions, and long-term planning. You will own the financial health of key product lines and customers, including through forecasting, budgeting, market analysis, and full P&L ownership. You’ll partner closely with GMs, product leaders, and executives, bringing analytical rigor, clear communication, and strong judgment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building from scratch, thrives in ambiguity, and wants outsized scope early in their career.

Job Responsibility

  • Own product-line P&Ls: Manage revenue, margins, opex, and unit economics with a clear view into performance drivers
  • Serve as the primary finance partner: Support GMs and product stakeholders with analysis, insights, and financial guidance
  • Lead forecasting, planning & financial modeling: Build revenue models, size opportunities, and contribute to quarterly and annual plans
  • Develop budgets and manage operating expenses: Create product-level budgets, monitor spend, and identify risks and opportunities
  • Support capital allocation decisions: Evaluate returns on product investments, pricing changes, and operational initiatives
  • Surface insights for leadership: Translate data into recommendations that shape product and company strategy
  • Improve financial reporting and processes: Enhance dashboards, workflows, and systems to increase accuracy and scalability

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of relevant experience in investment banking, private/growth equity, consulting, or strategic finance at a high-growth tech company
  • Strong analytical and modeling skills, with comfort working with incomplete or complex data
  • High ownership and execution, able to run workstreams end-to-end in a fast-paced environment
  • Clear communicator and cross-functional partner who can synthesize insights and influence decisions
  • Process-oriented and adaptable, with interest in building and improving systems and workflows
