Piñata Rent
Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.
Piñata is the nation’s leading rent rewards and renter fintech platform, powering loyalty, credit-building, and commerce for more than 1 million renters — with 10 M+ contracted units coming online in 2025. We partner with property management companies, proptech platforms, and major consumer brands to turn rent — the largest monthly expense for Americans — into a financial unlock.
We’re looking for a Head of Finance & Operations who can architect the systems, team, and financial discipline to support this next phase of growth.
The Role Piñata is searching for a hybrid finance & operations leader — someone who blends
strategic finance ,
FP&A excellence ,
operational rigor , and
hands‑on execution . This role will be the operational heartbeat of the company, ensuring the business is scaling with clarity, precision, and strong controls while enabling aggressive growth.
This is not a back‑office finance role. This is a company‑builder role — a leader who can partner with the CEO, own cross‑functional execution, run tight financial processes, build models investors trust, drive operational discipline, and help scale Piñata into the category‑defining renter loyalty and fintech platform.
What You’ll Own Strategic Finance
Own all FP&A: forecasting, budgeting, scenario planning, unit economics, margins, cohort analysis, GTM efficiency, channel economics, and capital planning.
Build and maintain Piñata’s full financial model and investor reporting frameworks.
Partner with the CEO on fundraising (Series B and beyond), investor materials, diligence, and board reporting.
Design dashboards that bring clarity to the business.
Accounting & Compliance
Oversee corporate accounting, month‑end close, accruals, and GAAP compliance.
Design and enforce controls around revenue recognition — including multi‑component, partner‑driven, insurance admin fee, and loyalty/points models — ensuring proper ASC 606 treatment.
Manage audits, tax compliance, financial reporting, and external accounting firms.
Ensure proper reconciliation across multiple finance and internal systems.
Revenue Operations & Billing
Own invoicing, collections, and accounts receivable across customers.
Partner with Sales & Customer Success to enforce contract terms, pricing rules, and revenue policies.
Business Operations (BizOps)
Run cross‑functional planning, OKRs, operating cadences, and decision frameworks to keep the company aligned and moving fast.
Identify bottlenecks across GTM, product, CS, and fulfillment — and fix them.
Manage HR across the company.
Risk, Compliance & Controls (Fintech/Insurance)
Oversee financial and operational risk frameworks.
Build compliance processes with external partners.
Work closely with external counsel.
Partner with Product on scalable, compliant fintech operations.
Leadership & Team Building
Build and lead a high‑performing finance & operations team (finance, accounting, RevOps, BizOps).
Drive a culture of clarity, accountability, and operational excellence.
Serve as a senior thought partner to the CEO and executive team.
Who You Are
Operator‑athlete:
able to architect systems and jump into the weeds.
Strategic & analytical:
strong decision frameworks, crisp financial thinking, and clarity.
Deeply numbers‑driven:
you love models, dashboards, financial KPIs, revenue logic.
Process‑oriented:
you bring order, predictability, and control to a fast‑moving environment.
Startup‑proven:
ideally from high‑growth SaaS, fintech, proptech, or marketplace.
Low‑ego, high‑drive:
urgent, accountable, and deeply collaborative.

you create structure where none exists.
Qualifications
CPA preferred or significant accounting depth
(Big 4 or equivalent public accounting/audit experience strongly preferred).
7–12+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, operations, BizOps, or similar roles.
Experience owning and improving the monthly close process and GAAP compliance.
Strong knowledge of ASC 606 and complex revenue models.
Proven ability to design and maintain financial models, dashboards, and investor reporting.
Experience in or exposure to fintech, payments, credit, or insurance is a major plus.
Strong systems skills (QuickBooks, financial tools, CRM/ERP systems, data tooling).
Experience building and leading teams in a scaling startup environment.
Build the financial and operational engine of the country’s leading rent rewards and renter fintech platform.
Own high‑impact work that touches every part of the business.
Work directly with the CEO on strategy, execution, investor relationships, and long‑term planning.
Join a transparent, fast‑moving, founder‑led team with massive growth ahead.
