Strategic Finance Lead

Hightouch is looking for its first Strategic Finance hire, setting the foundation for how we operationalize a metrics-driven culture. You’ll gain insight into every team at Hightouch, work closely with our executive team, and report directly to our VP of Finance & Data. This isn’t a role where you’ll be doing Excel in a corner in order to build a model no one looks at - if you’ve been looking to deeply understand and make an impact on a high-growth startup, this role is for you. 

• Drive a culture of accountability by owning Hightouch’s operating model and running our monthly / quarterly business review cadence
• Ensure cross-company strategic and operational alignment by ensuring that our GTM, EPD, and G&A team goals support our highest company priorities
• Surface quantitative insights across the business to increase growth and efficiency
• Support investor relations efforts, including board meeting preparation

• Incomparable financial modeling skills: your models are clean, accurate, and easy to audit and backed by a thorough understanding of underlying business levers
• Experience working with a diverse set of stakeholders: you seek to understand your collaborators’ viewpoints and challenges
• Ability to derive meaningful strategic insights from a variety of datasets: you love playing detective to drive change
• Bonus point: you have a strong knowledge of SaaS metrics and know the strengths and weaknesses of payback period, LTV/CAC, burn multiple, and the like

• You have a combination of experiences across investment banking, consulting, private or public investing, and high-growth startups
• You have at least four years of full-time work experience and your trajectory so far reflects the high level of impact you’ve made
• You’re deeply curious about businesses and how they grow
• You’re entrepreneurial and don’t wait for permission in order to make an impact
