At Hightouch, our mission is to help our customers leverage data and AI to grow their businesses. The team is ambitious, impact-driven, efficient — and we believe humility, kindness, and compassion are essential to our success. If you're energized by velocity, obsessed with raising the bar, and want to build alongside people who care deeply about each other and our customers, we'd love to meet you.
About The Role
We just raised a $150M Series D and crossed $100M ARR, growing fast. Now we’re building the finance infrastructure to match, and this is a foundational hire on a Strategic Finance team that’s just getting built out. You will help develop and expand our operating model, run the reforecast and planning cycles, and produce the reporting that leadership and the board rely on.
Because the team is small, you will wear a lot of hats and see the whole business. In a given month you might rebuild the headcount model, dig into why gross margin moved, pull the analysis behind a pricing decision, and put together board materials. You will work directly with the Head of Strategic Finance, the CFO, and leaders across GTM, Product, and Accounting.
This is a role for someone who wants a lot of surface area, wants to learn how a company scales from the inside, and wants to grow with the function as it grows.
What You'll Do
- Manage and build out our driver-based operating model, expanding it as the business gets more complex and keeping it accurate and decision-ready.
- Run the monthly and quarterly operating rhythm and the reforecast cycle: the calendar, the inputs, budget versus actuals, and variance analysis. You explain why the numbers moved, not just what happened.
- Support headcount planning and the monthly refresh, working with People and team leaders to connect hiring decisions to budget.
- Build the analysis behind board and executive reporting: scorecard, ARR, cash, headcount, pipeline, and the supporting detail.
- Bring rigor to our SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR and GRR, magic number, CAC payback, LTV to CAC, burn multiple) so they are consistent and defensible.
- Partner with Accounting, RevOps, and our Data team to dig into the data and pull out insights that drive decisions across the org.
- Jump into ad hoc analysis: pricing, segment economics, scenario work, whatever the business needs that quarter.
What We're Looking For
- Roughly 3 to 5 years of experience starting in investment banking, private equity, or restructuring, ideally with a year or two in an operating seat (strategic finance, FP&A, or business finance at a high-growth company).
- Excellent financial modeling. Driver-based models, cohort analysis, scenario work, and a high bar for accuracy.
- Expert proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.
- Real curiosity about how a business works, and the judgment to know which number actually matters in a decision.
- Communicates clearly and concisely, and can explain the analysis in plain language.
- High ownership and low ego. You are comfortable with ambiguity and you do not wait to be told what to build.
- Comfortable working directly with data, and willing to get self-serve in a modern warehouse and BI stack (we use Snowflake and Omni).
Bonus If You Have
- Time inside a high-growth software company, especially on a small finance team where you owned a lot.
- Familiarity with SaaS metrics and unit economics.
- Exposure to AI or usage-based COGS and consumption economics, and how they affect gross margin.
- Experience partnering directly with a GTM or product org to influence spend and resource-allocation decisions.
Compensation
Base salary only range for this position is $150,000 - $175,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.
E-Verify Statement
Hightouch participates in E-Verify. After you join the team, we'll verify your eligibility to work in the U.S. by submitting information from your Form I-9 to the Social Security Administration and, if needed, the Department of Homeland Security. This process happens post-hire only — we never use E-Verify to pre-screen applicants.
