About The Role We are searching for a Head of Strategic Finance & Operations to lead everything G&A: finance, accounting, legal, HR process, and business operations. You will architect the discipline, data, and tooling that unlock our next stage of growth and position the company for a successful Series B and beyond.

Model financial impact across GTM scenarios – Evaluate provider‑, pharma-, and hybrid growth strategies through bottom‑up unit‑economics and scenario modeling to guide capital allocation and sequencing decisions.
Professionalize revenue operations – Map revenue recognition, AR/AP, and contract billing; partner with Sales to unify pipe‑to‑cash process and tools.
Take on critical “back‑office” load – Own cap‑table, equity grants, compensation bands, and vendor contracts; coordinate outside counsel & auditor.
Long‑Term Impact – 12+ Months
Investor‑ready data room – Drive scenario modeling, KPI definitions, and diligence materials for Series B.
Strategic Finance – Long‑range planning, unit‑economics deep dives, pricing strategies, and M&A scan.
Fundraising & IR – Build investor materials, run diligence threads, and maintain stakeholder comms.
G&A Center of Excellence – Lead our accounting lead and HR/people ops partner; champion policy, controls, and SaaS tooling.
Legal & Compliance Ops – Coordinate counsel, manage risk register, ensure SOC‑2 progress, and shepherd key contracts through signature and renewal.
Org‑wide OKR & KPI Program – Drive rhythm of business reviews and cross‑functional accountability.
What You’ll Bring You’ll Ideally Have
4–10 yrs in strategic finance / biz‑ops roles at high‑growth tech or health‑tech companies; ex‑investment banking or strategy consulting pedigree strongly preferred.
Mastery of SaaS/marketplace P&L mechanics, revenue recognition (ASC 606), and GAAP vs. non‑GAAP bridge.
Proven ownership of budgeting, FP&A, and board‑level analyses; comfortable in Excel/Sheets, Adaptive, NetSuite (or similar).
Demonstrated ability to “own everything G&A” — legal liaison, cap‑table management, HR policy, vendor negotiations.
High‑slope learner who thrives on ambiguity and balances strategic thinking with sleeves‑rolled‑up execution.
Excellent written & verbal communication; can simplify the complex for founders, engineers, and investors alike.
Bonus Points If You Have
Prior experience taking a company through Series B → C financing or IPO readiness.
Exposure to healthcare reimbursement, value‑based care, or PBM economics.
SQL proficiency or light data‑engineering chops.
What We Offer
Competitive salary + meaningful equity in a company growing 10× year‑over‑year.
