About the role

  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to the President.
  • Lead annual and quarterly planning in partnership with functional leaders.
  • Establish and run the operating rhythm that keeps strategic initiatives on track.
  • Drive high-impact initiatives that do not have a natural home.
  • Identify friction and inefficiency across the business, driving improvements using AI, automation, analytics, and process redesign.
  • Support evaluation of organic and inorganic growth opportunities (e.g., partnerships, product adjacencies, acquisitions).
  • Drive outcomes through influence across Finance, HR, Engineering, Product, Sales, and Operations.
  • Build trusted relationships, clarify ownership, and hold the line on priorities, timelines, and results.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree preferred and 10-15 years of professional experience with owning outcomes in a SaaS or software environment, setting a path and delivering measurable results.
  • Experience in accounting, fintech, ERP, or GRC software is highly valued. You understand complex products, regulated environments, and the customers who buy them.
  • Full understanding of AI automation fluency: ability to translate possibilities into real workflows, adoption plans, and measurable impact.
  • Financial acumen: You are comfortable with business cases, unit economics, and investment trade-offs. You can partner effectively with Finance without needing translation.
  • Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations: You diagnose root causes, frame options, drive decisions, and build practical plans teams can execute.
  • Possess a bias for action: You move fast, learn quickly, and iterate. You balance speed with sound judgment and bring others along through clarity and momentum.
  • Experience working in a matrixed environment and drive outcomes through others. Strength with running cadences (OKRs/KPIs, portfolio reviews), holding owners accountable, and communicating effectively with senior leaders.
  • Strategy consulting background (Big 4, MBB, or boutique) with demonstrated operating ownership is preferred.
  • Experience leading or supporting M&A transactions and post-merger integration is a plus.
  • Background in FP&A, corporate development, business operations, or a Chief of Staff-style role is a plus.
Benefits
  • Annual leave
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Referral bonuses
