Company mission
To empower engineers and analysts across the industry as their foundational blockchain data platform.
Role
Who you are
- 8-12+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or a blend of banking and operating roles, with at least 3-4 years at a high-growth B2B SaaS or usage-based company
- You've built or significantly scaled an FP&A function before - you know what good looks like because you've built it
- You've already been using and experimenting with Claude Code, MCP, or similar tools. We're building a finance function where AI isn't a nice-to-have, it's infrastructure
- Excellent communicator who distills complex financial information into clear, actionable recommendations
- Prior experience at a data platform, infrastructure, or analytics company is a strong plus
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and iterating quickly - you bias for progress over perfection
- Embodies Allium’s values - Extreme Ownership, High Agency, and Strong Opinions (Loosely Held)
What the job involves
- We are hiring our first Director of FP&A to help Allium scale through our next phase of growth. You'll own the operating model, annual plan, forecasts, and the metrics frameworks that shape how leadership allocates capital, evaluates performance, and tells our story to the board and investors
- You'll partner directly with the leadership team to bring analytical rigor and financial clarity to a fast growing business
- You should be energized by building from scratch, comfortable navigating usage-based and enterprise SaaS economics, and have the judgment to operate with near-zero directio
- Own the operating model, annual plan, quarterly forecasts, and long-range financial outlook - these are living tools that surface tradeoffs, not static documents
- Lead the monthly and quarterly FP&A close rhythm: variance analysis, rolling reforecasts, and close coordination with Accounting
- Build and maintain the headcount plan with functional leaders, tying hiring decisions to business outcomes and ROI - not just forecasting expense, but connecting resourcing to results
- Own the SaaS metrics stack - ARR, net dollar retention, CAC, sales productivity, pipeline velocity, gross margin by product line, burn multiple - and make them legible and actionable for the whole company
- Provide the analytical backbone for pricing decisions, contract structures, and GTM strategy - Allium has a complex price book spanning 150+ blockchain datasets across multiple delivery methods (Snowflake, Databricks, etc). You will need to understand the unit economics beneath it
- Build best-in-class KPI reporting and dashboards that keep a pulse on the business and drive decision-making across the company
- Own the forecasting and analysis of infrastructure spend - cloud compute, Snowflake, data delivery costs - and partner with Engineering to manage margins as the platform scales
- Partner with RevOps on sales compensation planning - comp plan design, SPIFFs, quota structures - and own commissions processing, administration, and analytics
- Work closely with Accounting to keep the financials tight and ensure a clean handoff between close and forward-looking analysis
- Prepare financial materials for board meetings, investor updates, and fundraising processes - this includes the narrative, not just the numbers. Help frame Allium's financial story with brevity and confidence
- Own the data room and financial due diligence workflows for future rounds
- Automate and systematize FP&A workflows - eliminate reconciliation friction and build infrastructure that compounds as the company grows
Our take
As money has poured into blockchain projects and markets, transactions ‘on-chain’ have skyrocketed. While all of these transactions are inherently observable, actually making sense of the immense volume of data is another story.
On-chain analysis (or blockchain analysis) is a field that has emerged to do just this, examining the fundamental factors of cryptocurrencies to improve investment and trading decisions. Allium, that primarily serves crypto analytics teams, provides a range of on-chain data infrastructure products ranging from managed blockchain databases, and enriched data schemas, to real-time alerting capabilities.
Crucially the startup is not trying to deliver the whole package of parsing the data to gathering insights. Instead, the focus is on becoming a platform service. For example, the core product is a unified data platform providing general SQL access, making blockchain data truly accessible for the first time.
