Director of Finance

What You’ll Do

• Own the Model: Maintain the company’s long-term, 3-statement operating model, work with the executive team on forecast building, and support scenario planning. 
• Drive Budgeting: Work with department heads and the executive team to build annual + quarterly budgets & targets. Collaborate with the accounting team on monthly budget-to-actual reviews. 
• Drive Financial & Operational Analytics: Own monthly customer cohort model, maintain monthly financial KPI  dashboards, execute one-off financial and operational analyses, proactively identifying opportunities for operational improvement.  
• Support M&A: Work with the executive team to identify potential strategic partnership opportunities, drive any due diligence processes, and create pro forma business cases for potential acquisitions. 

What You'll Love

• Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of our favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.” 
• Ownership: You’ll report to our CFO & Co-Founder and will be in charge of all of the company’s financial modeling. You will be working on materials that will drive our operational decision making and that will be presented to our Board of Directors. 
• Growth: You’ll get to journey with a VC-backed Silicon Valley startup that is still growing extremely quickly. Every employee is a core team member who is expected to help build the company as a whole, but you’ll play a unique role in helping shape the future of the organization. 
• Flexibility: HQ will be in Chicago with the full team and would love to have everyone there. That being said, we’re super flexible with location / hours; don’t care when or where you work - just that it gets done. 
• Comp: We will pay competitive market rates in terms of equity, cash, & benefits. 

What We're Looking For

• Passion: First and foremost, we’re looking for someone excited and passionate about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun to actually care about what you’re working on! 
• Experience: Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, a foundation of 3+ years of experience in as a financial analyst/associate or equivalent (e.g., investment banking, private equity, corp dev), experience in building 3-statement financial projection models, strong comfort level with M&A modeling, knowledge of consumer subscription or enterprise SaaS revenue and expense recognition principles, and strong Excel + PowerPoint skills. Bonus, but not required: Experience in ERP system scoping and/or integration. 
• Detail-Oriented: The results of your work will be a core tool in the executive team’s operational and long-term decision making. You will need to have an incredible strong attention to detail, even while moving quickly.
• Grit: A start-up is tough and we really care about what we’re doing. You'll be jumping into a “team of 1” role in a fast moving organization - perseverance and the ability to create progress independently will be critical. 
• Ability to Build and Adapt Quickly: Desire and ability to quickly build strong and trusting relationships, influence, and collaborate effectively across all levels of the organization. Follow-through, ability to move quickly, and ability to manage several priorities and projects at one time will be needed.
