Job Summary
We are seeking a strategic and motivated individual to join our leadership team in a cross-functional finance and revenue role.

The role involves a variety of tasks, including financial planning, partnering with sales on strategic accounts, and contributing to overall company growth. The specific responsibilities will vary based on company priorities but generally include managing core financial operations, engaging directly with key clients and investors, and helping shape organizational strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of financial planning and operations: Develop and oversee budgets, forecasts, financial models, reporting, accounting, AR and AP, and capital allocation.
• Drive and support strategic account retention/revenue: Align the financial strategy with sales efforts, partner with sales leaders, and engage directly with key strategic accounts for renewal, expansion, contract negotiation and product feedback.
• Partner with leadership on growth: Work with the CEO and team on go-to-market strategies, pricing, and organizational planning.
• Engage externally: Serve as a credible point of contact for VC/investor communications, due diligence, customer negotiations, and potential partner relationships
• Wear multiple hats: Comfortable flexing between operational firefighting, customer pitches and negotiations, operations, KPIs, and high-level strategic decisions.

Qualifications

• Experience in a leadership role (Director, Head, VP, or CFO/COO) at a venture-backed startup. Familiarity with reporting, hiring talent, customer contracts, and scaling operations is essential
• Strong functional expertise in finance (FP&A, accounting – including AR and AP, pricing, modeling, revenue ops, contract negotiation).
• Demonstrated ability in sales or revenue-driving roles, ideally with direct customer engagement for renewals and partnerships.
• Exposure to startup go-to-market operations, SaaS or tech business models, and understanding of critical growth metrics (CAC, LTV, ARR, GM, retention).
• Strategic thinking, data-driven decision making, and ability to build or lead small teams (internally and consultants/ agencies externally) as you scale.
• Networked in the venture/startup ecosystem or at least fluent in the expectations and pace of high-growth VC-backed companies.
• Excellent communicator for both internal (team/executives) and external (customers/investors) audiences.
• Analytical, with innovative problem-solving and comfort wearing "multiple hats".
• Hands-on, adaptable, and excited by ambiguity – able to work across finance, strategic account management, and operations as needed.
