Role
Who you are
- If you thrive on impact, technology, and working with a C-suite who values strategic partnership, this is the role for you. Please note: This is currently an IC position
- Experience & Background: 8+ years of total relevant experience, with at least 4 years in Strategic Finance or FP&A at a high-growth technology company. A background in Investment Banking, Management Consulting, or Private Equity prior to operating roles is preferred
- SaaS Metrics & Strategic Modeling: Deep expertise in SaaS unit economics and performance benchmarks. You understand what "best-in-class" metrics look like for a high-growth company (e.g., NDR, CAC Payback, Rule of 40) and can translate high-level strategy into precise, forward-looking indicators that guide decision-making
- Modern Finance Mindset: You are an early adopter of technology who looks for ways to automate before hiring, with experience implementing or utilizing AI-enabled tools, BI visualization, and advanced financial systems to reduce manual work
- Strategic Business Partnership: A proven ability to partner with GTM, Product, Engineering, and Operations leaders to align financial goals with the strategic levers of the business. You can influence outcomes and drive alignment across the organization without needing direct authority over a large team
- Analytical Depth: Advanced proficiency in financial modeling and data analysis, including hands-on experience with SQL and data visualization tools. You can build robust, scalable models that account for complex variables and multiple scenarios
- Strategic Communication: Excellent executive presence with the ability to synthesize financial details into high-level strategic guidance. You are as comfortable presenting to the Executive Team as you are digging into data

- You will translate strategy into the value creation levers of the business, guiding critical capital allocation decisions for the entire business
- Strategic Planning & Orchestration: Lead the annual budgeting and long-range planning processes. You will own the financial model, aligning company OKRs and capital allocation with our long-term strategic vision
- Tech-Enabled Financial Operations: Drive the adoption of AI-enabled tools and automation within the finance function. You will implement modern workflows to streamline routine reporting and analytics, creating operational leverage that scales with the business
- Executive Partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to the C-suite. You will translate complex financial data into clear narratives, helping leaders make informed decisions driving unit economic efficiency and operating of the business
- Performance Management: Own the definition and tracking of company-level KPIs. You will conduct forward-looking analyses and scenario modeling to identify risks and opportunities early
- Hands-On Execution: Maintain direct ownership of financial reporting and board material preparation, ensuring precision and accuracy while continuously refining our reporting infrastructure
Our take
Collective is tapping into the quickly growing freelance and self employed workforce with a back office platform which provides full support for accounting, tax, book keeping and other financial admin, essentially removing the burden from the business owner entirely.
Having only launched in 2020, Collective didn’t take long to receive major backing from General Catalyst as well as Ashton Kutcher’s VC fund Sound Ventures. It’s put it to great use too, with an employee headcount now in the hundreds, showing just how fast the startup is growing.
Interestingly, Collective isn’t available for any and all subscribers. Rather, it only allows applicants to become members if Collective’s advisors know they can offer real value. It may seem a counter-intuitive move, but it keeps the company’s success rate high.
The company's latest 2023 funding round is being used to accelerate the implementation of AI across its operations as well as onboard the nearly 100,000 waitlisted businesses. it launched an AI accounting platform for one-person operations in 2024, exemplifying the savvy use of its funds.
