Head of Strategic Finance

The Role

Hightouch is hiring for a Head of Strategic Finance! You’ll drive improvement across every team at Hightouch, work closely with our executive team, and report directly to our CFO. This isn’t a role where you’ll be doing Excel in a corner 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.

What You’ll Do

• Drive a culture of accountability by owning Hightouch’s operating model and running our monthly / quarterly business review cadence.
• Work closely with the GTM team to ensure we’re maximizing ROI on our sales and marketing spend while effectively investing for the future.
• Analyze, monitor, and drive improvements to our SaaS metrics.
• Surface quantitative insights across the business to increase growth and efficiency.
• Support investor relations efforts, including board meeting preparation.
• Collaborate closely with our world-class Revenue Operations, Data, and Accounting teams to ensure that we have the information we drive thoughtful and rapid decision-making.

What We’re Looking For

• Your skills:
  • Impact orientation: you’ve driven increased visibility, accountability, and alignment in ways that have deeply improved a business.
  • Deep stakeholder empathy: 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.
  • Elite financial modeling: your models are accurate, easy to audit, and backed by a deep understanding of underlying business levers.
  • SaaS veteran: you have a strong knowledge of SaaS metrics and know the strengths and weaknesses of payback period, LTV/CAC, burn multiple, and the like.
  • Bonus points if you’re comfortable using BI tools (we use Omni, but experience with Looker, Hex, or Sigma will serve you well also) or SQL to find and analyze information.
• Your background:
  • You started your career in a top-tier investment banking, consulting, and private or public investing firm. You’ve already pivoted to and love high-growth startups and have potentially gone through an exit cycle.
  • You have at least five 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’d be excited to work hands-on at first and begin to grow out your team in the next 3-6 months after start.
  • You’re entrepreneurial and don’t wait for permission in order to make an impact.

We are seeking talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in addressing the problems outlined above. We focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. The salary range for this position is $200,000-$ 240,000 (USD) per year, which is location-independent in accordance with our remote-first policy.
