Build effective integrations and workflows across ERP, billing, CRM, and data systems, including Rillet, Stripe, Snowflake, and HubSpot. Introduce AI-powered automation and agents to reduce repetitive finance activities, improve efficiency, and enable the team to focus on higher-value strategic decisions. Establish finance policies, operating rhythms, documentation, and controls that create a strong foundation for continued organizational growth. Serve as a strategic partner across departments, translating financial data into actionable insights and helping leadership make informed business decisions. Develop the finance function over time, establishing the systems, processes, and capabilities required to support a larger and more sophisticated organization. Requirements: 8+ years of experience in SaaS finance or accounting, with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end quote-to-cash and revenue recognition processes. Proven experience building or managing deal desk operations and sales compensation programs. Strong understanding of SaaS financial metrics, forecasting, budgeting, revenue recognition, unit economics, and cash management. Demonstrated success improving financial close processes, forecasting accuracy, DSO, and broader finance operations. Strong process and policy development skills, with the ability to create practical, scalable frameworks in a fast-growing environment. Experience partnering effectively with Product, Go-to-Market, Legal, and other cross-functional teams.
