The Strategic Finance Lead will work closely with the CFO on high-impact problems across finance, data, capital markets, strategy, and operations. This is not a traditional FP&A role. The ideal candidate has a strong financial foundation and is exceptionally curious, analytical, technical, and comfortable figuring things out from first principles. You will enter unfamiliar problems, work through messy data and imperfect systems, find the source of truth, and become the person others trust to explain what is happening and why.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build and improve financial forecasts, investment models, and debt facility models
- Analyze business performance, cash flow, revenue, operating expenses, and investment returns
- Conduct complex ad-hoc analysis across financial, operational, and transaction-level data
- Work with large and imperfect datasets to reconcile discrepancies and identify insights
- Support debt and equity financing, lender reporting, investor analysis, and strategic projects
- Automate financial and operational workflows using AI, SQL, Python, or other tools
- Proactively identify risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities across the business
- Translate complex findings into clear recommendations for executives and external stakeholders
You'll gain unusually high ownership and exposure to problems across finance, data, AI, capital markets, and strategy. Scope is earned through results, not title or tenure. The company is looking for someone who can eventually become one of the most trusted people in the organization when an important, complicated problem needs to be understood and solved.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3–8 years of experience in financial analysis, investment banking, private equity, management consulting, strategic finance, investment research, data analytics, or another highly analytical field
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills
- Advanced Excel and/or Google Sheets capabilities
- Strong understanding of finance, cash flow, and basic accounting
- Exceptional curiosity, ownership, and attention to detail
- Ability to work independently through ambiguous problems
- Strong communication skills
PREFERRED:
- SQL, Python, Snowflake, AI/automation tools, capital markets, debt structures, or startup experience
