Head of Finance & Strategy

Job Summary

We are seeking a strategic and commercially-minded Head of Finance & Strategy to lead our financial and strategic direction as we scale. The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of experience in Finance & Strategy roles, with a proven track record in corporate strategy, market analysis, or business development.

About the Role

This is a high-impact role for a sharp operator who excels at turning ambiguity into clarity, complex data into decisive action, and bold ideas into executable plans. You will be a core member of the leadership team, partnering directly with the CEO, COO, and Board to drive our long-term vision, capital strategy, pricing, and competitive positioning.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Finance & Planning: Own budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling across all functions. Drive long-range financial planning that aligns capital deployment with strategic priorities.

• Business Strategy, Competitive Positioning & Distribution Partnerships: Partner with the CEO and leadership team to evaluate market opportunities, build business cases, and translate strategic bets into financial frameworks and operating plans. Identify, structure, and evaluate distribution partnership opportunities — including channel partners, resellers, and strategic alliances — that accelerate market reach and drive scalable, capital-efficient growth.

• Capital Strategy & Pricing: Design and evaluate pricing models, customer economics, and resource allocation strategies to maximize long-term enterprise value and competitive differentiation.

• Investor Relations & Board Engagement: Lead board materials, manage investor updates, and work closely with the CEO on fundraising narratives, due diligence, and strategic finance.

• Operational & Performance Excellence: Establish OKR frameworks, KPI dashboards, and cross-functional operating rhythms that keep the company aligned, accountable, and moving fast.

• Accounting, Compliance & Vendor Oversight: Partner with external firms to ensure timely close, compliance, and accurate reporting across payroll, taxes, and audits.

Requirements

• 8+ years in Finance & Strategy roles, with 2–3+ years in a Series A–C VC-backed startup or high-growth tech company.

• Strong financial modeling, capital allocation, and strategic analysis skills, with experience building financial processes from scratch.

• Proven experience in corporate strategy, market analysis, or business development — you think beyond the spreadsheet.

• Board & investor communication experience, including leading board decks, metrics reviews, and fundraising materials.

• Operational mindset with experience implementing OKR frameworks, dashboards, and systems (e.g., Rippling, ERP, HubSpot, SaaS billing platforms).

• Cultural fit with Autonomize's values: full-stack ownership, customer obsession, and operating in the final mile.
