Strategic Finance

About SentSent is an infrastructure for sending A2P messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single unified API. Our intelligent routing model automates channel selection based on deliverability and cost, ensuring lower cost and global reach without any channel-specific integrations. We recently closed a $12M Series A backed by Companyon Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, UIF, and others. We're hiring to build the best infrastructure to replace multi-channel messaging stacks.

About the role

We're looking for our first Strategic Finance hire - someone who has come up through investment banking, private equity, or a high-growth startup and genuinely enjoys the operational side of finance as much as the analytical one. You might be a banker who's been itching to get inside a company and support better decisions from the inside, a PE associate ready for something more entrepreneurial, or a startup finance person who's ready to go deeper. Whatever the path, you're someone who can turn a messy spreadsheet and a room full of competing priorities into a clear point of view.

Responsibilities

• Own Sent's financial model end-to-end: revenue, headcount, expenses, and cash flow - keeping it current, credible, and actually used
• Drive planning cycles including budgeting, forecasting, and long-range scenario planning
• Become a trusted thought partner for leaders across the company, helping them structure decisions and tradeoffs through clear financial framing
• Build the reporting and performance tracking infrastructure that keeps leadership aligned on where we are versus plan, and where the biggest risks and opportunities live
• Develop business cases and scenario analyses for new investments, strategic bets, and hiring plans - giving leadership the structured framing they need to move fast
• Analyze vendor spend, headcount costs, and infrastructure expenses to support budgeting decisions
• Build the reporting cadence and templates that will scale as the company grows: board decks, monthly business reviews, department-level P&Ls

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly analytical role at a high-growth company
• Strong financial modeling skills - you've owned a model, not just inherited one. You're fast, precise, and comfortable building from scratch
• The ability to translate complex data into a clear narrative and get stakeholders who don't live in spreadsheets to actually act on what you're showing them
• Exposure to fundraising, board reporting, or investor relations
• You operate with low oversight and high output - you figure out what's needed, build it, and keep moving

Pay

$150,000 - $200,000 base salary depending on experience level

• Top-tier medical, dental, vision fully covered
• 401(k) with 100% match up to 4%
