From modeling and resource allocation to defining the metrics that matter, you’ll turn ambiguity into clarity and help guide the business through its next stage of growth.

• Drive product + revenue strategy: Model new products, pricing, and GTM initiatives into financial outcomes while flagging risks and opportunities.

• Lead fundraising & board finance: Prep Series B models, metrics, and materials. Craft investor narratives and standardize core SaaS KPIs like ARR, CAC, LTV.

• Build revenue infrastructure: Partner with sales/ops to scale quote-to-cash, improve billing/collections, and ensure financial accuracy across the revenue lifecycle.

• Ensure accounting & reporting integrity: Own financial reporting and close processes with Graphite, implement scalable controls, and maintain compliance.

• Deliver decision support: Build dashboards, provide actionable insights, and be the company-wide source for “what does this mean financially?

• Familiarity with SaaS business models and metrics

• Track record of working cross-functionally with product, sales, and ops teams
