Job Level
About the role
- Own board and investor prep end to end: financials, operating metrics, narrative, materials, and coordination, ensuring leadership walks in aligned and well-prepared.
- Lead financial planning across the company, including budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling, effectively covering much of what a Director of Finance would own.
- Build and run the company’s operating cadence, including quarterly planning, goal setting, and follow-through.
- Design and lead a weekly executive business review covering revenue, spend, hiring progress, and product timelines, keeping discussions focused on decisions, not updates.
- Act as a thought partner to the CEO and leadership team, pressure-testing plans, clarifying priorities, and helping translate strategy into concrete operating plans.
- Coordinate auditors, compliance work, and external financial partners, keeping the process tight and predictable for the rest of the team.
- Plan and run leadership off-sites and on-sites, with clear objectives, strong preparation, and outcomes that actually change how the team operates.
- Leverages AI and automation tools to scale personal impact, extend capacity, and operate at a higher strategic level.
Requirements
- Experience operating at the leadership level in a product-led tech company, ideally having owned or co-owned P&L, strategy, or general management responsibilities.
- Deep comfort with financial planning, forecasting, and metrics, with the ability to explain tradeoffs clearly to non-finance leaders.
- Prior experience as a Chief of Staff, GM, VP, or similar role where you were trusted to operate as an extension of the CEO.
- Strong data instincts. You know how to ask the right questions of numbers, not just report them.
- Proven experience preparing board materials and leading board-facing processes.
- Judgment and presence to sit at the leadership table as a peer, not a coordinator or note-taker.
- Nice to Have: Experience in gaming, consumer subscriptions, or marketplace businesses.
- Prior exposure to audits, complex compliance environments, or international operations.
- MBA or similar background, if paired with real operating experience.
