Director, Finance Strategy & Operations

Director, Finance Strategy & Operations

We're hiring a Director, Finance Strategy & Operations to serve as a strategic operating partner to our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Finance leadership team. This is a strategic, execution-heavy role responsible for ensuring our Finance function has the operating rhythm, systems, and efficiency to scale in a fast-growing, global SaaS company.

You'll be a force multiplier for Finance helping design, manage, and execute initiatives that keep the organization disciplined, efficient, and forward-looking. You'll also serve as the eyes and ears of the CFO in key meetings, representing Finance priorities and ensuring follow-through. This is a Director-level individual contributor role with high visibility inside the Finance, Accounting, and Billing Operations teams.

What You'll Do

Finance Program Project Management Office (PMO)

• Establish and lead a Program Management Office (PMO) for the CFO to drive accountability for critical Finance and Accounting initiatives (e.g., close optimization, public company readiness, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, revenue and billing operations, systems / process improvements).
• Translate strategic financial goals into operational action items across departments.
• Develop and maintain templates, planning tools, milestone tracking, and reporting cadences.
• Act as a central coordination point, ensuring accountability, momentum, and consistent progress across Finance and Accounting.
