Strategic Finance Lead

About the role

We're hiring a Strategic Finance Lead as our first dedicated finance hire. This is a builder's role — you're not stepping into existing systems, you're creating them.

Responsibilities

• Build and own Sail's operating P&L — the single source of truth connecting GPU cluster unit economics (cost per GPU-hour, utilization, depreciation/useful life, power costs) and how it flows down to product pricing, unit economics, and actual financial performance.
• Partner cross-functionally on board materials: financial modeling, data room preparation, and diligence support.
• Stand up Sail's first real FP&A process: budgeting and forecasting, sized appropriately for an early-stage company.
• Develop the headcount and opex planning model as the team grows; own burn rate and runway tracking.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years in finance roles with real modeling depth (investment banking, growth/private equity, corporate development, or strategic finance/FP&A at a high-growth company).
• Infrastructure or capital-intensive business experience (data centers, energy, equipment leasing, or similar) is a strong plus.
• Genuine fluency in building financial models from scratch; comfortable building an operating P&L and pro forma model.
• Comfort with ambiguity and building right-sized processes.
• Bonus: exposure to revenue recognition for usage-based/consumption billing, or experience inside a GPU cloud, data center, or other infrastructure-as-a-service business.
