Role
Who you are
- Experience. You have 1-2+ years of relevant experience in investment banking, private equity, corporate development, and/or FP&A roles. Operational SaaS and/or strategic finance experience is a plus. You have a long track record of academic and professional success
- Technical Skills. You’re an expert in Excel and are comfortable across the GSuite (Google Sheets, Slides, Docs, etc.). You have experience building complex financial models from scratch. You can synthesize large datasets into actionable outputs and combine financial modeling, other quantitative analysis, and sound business judgment to recommend solutions
- Strategic Thinking. You’re a data-driven thinker and you approach complex problems with an open mind. You are intellectually curious, and you naturally seek to understand the ‘why’ behind data. You can synthesize complex information into creative recommendations
- Precision. You value precision and accuracy, you have a sharp attention to detail and you take pride in all of your work. You have a natural feel for numbers and data, and you can produce a high-quality work product in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
- Attitude. You’re a self-starter and you’re comfortable operating in ambiguous and uncertain situations. You desire to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with limited guidance. You’re energized by joining a high-growth company and making an immediate impact. You’re flexible and amenable to the constantly changing requirements of our business. You’re willing to voice your opinions and challenge decisions strongly, but ready to disagree and commit when required
What the job involves
- Runwise is looking to hire a Strategic Finance Associate and add to one of the largest and fastest-growing prop-tech companies in the US
- In this highly visible role, you’ll join a small, agile finance team with significant runway to develop, implement, and execute on Runwise’s financial strategy
- Reporting to the Strategic Finance Manager, you’ll join a high-growth start-up as the second strategic finance hire, and leverage your analytical skills to solve complex financial challenges that do not have well-defined solutions
- Collaborate on and independently build sophisticated financial models and synthesize outputs into actionable insights to support immediate, medium, and long-term decision-making
- Monitor financial performance metrics, cash flow dynamics, and other KPIs to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions whenever necessary
- Strategically partner cross-functionally with other business units (e.g., sales, marketing, field service) to conduct deep-dive analysis, creatively solve ad-hoc analytical problems, monitor results, and iterate on alternative solutions
- Work closely with the finance team and executive leadership to define and constantly improve the Company’s short and long-term financial strategy
- Assist in evaluating potential M&A opportunities and strategic partnerships
- Manage recurring and ad-hoc financial operations requirements such as financial reporting, investor data requests, quarterly sales incentive plan payouts, strategic partnership operations, etc
Our take
In the battle against climate change, emissions from buildings are often overlooked. But they contribute over a quarter of all global carbon emissions. This is part due to ancient energy systems, and to archaic building management practices which make it hard to update these systems.
Runwise provides technology for building managers to operate energy systems better. This lets them lower emissions while providing greater comfort for residents and workers. It works via a combination of wireless control, a sensor network and a software platform. This is attractive because it lowers operating costs significantly and makes running buildings easier.
Runwise controls the key energy systems in thousands of buildings across the US, and removes significant amounts of carbon emissions per year. It is also well-funded, with $55 million awarded in 2025, which has allowed it to expand significantly and make more buildings operate better and greener.
