Strategic Finance

Finance at Descript isn’t a back-office function — it’s a strategic partner in shaping where and how we grow. This role exists to turn insight into leverage: helping the company make smarter bets, allocate capital effectively, and improve the efficiency of how we operate. You’ll report to the VP of Finance and lead FP&A while driving key strategic finance initiatives across the company, partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering. Your work will influence everything from how we evaluate investments, manage compute and COGS, to how we support pricing and monetization decisions in our growing enterprise segment. We’re looking for someone who sees finance as a creative craft — not just about control or compliance, but about clarity, curiosity, and action. You’ll build models, frameworks, and narratives that help Descript make better decisions faster. The right person thrives at the intersection of data, product, and strategy; is fluent in SQL or eager to learn it; and has the range to move from tactical detail to company-level strategy.
