• Supporting leadership decision-making by providing clear financial recommendations backed by data
• Modeling hire sequencing and organizational growth scenarios tied to revenue milestones
• Overseeing financial operations including credit card processes, vendor management, and financial controls
• Managing external partners including CPA firms, tax strategy teams, and financial vendors
• Building and scaling the internal finance function, including hiring and developing team members as the business grows
• Ensuring clean, accurate, and timely monthly closes and financial reporting
• Partnering cross-functionally with leadership to align financial strategy with business objectives

• Experience building and leading finance teams, including hiring and developing talent
• Strong financial modeling skills with experience influencing pricing, hiring, and strategic decisions
• Operator mindset with the ability to make recommendations and drive decisions, not just report on data

• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly present financial insights to non-financial stakeholders

Non-Negotiables:

• Thinks like an operator and uses finance to drive business outcomes
