Head of Finance
About the role
Head of Finance to build and own the financial engine of Warp as the company scales revenue to $50M+. Partners with the CEO on strategic finance, operating model, board/investor reporting, unit economics, and capital decisions. Hands-on initially with team-building responsibilities over time.
Responsibilities
- Own the financial model and forecast. Turn the charter's revenue trajectory into a plan the company runs against and a model the board trusts.
- Run board and investor reporting: monthly metrics, quarterly board materials, and the financial narrative behind both.
- Own unit economics and pricing analysis. ARPU, gross margin, payback, and the economics of new lines like benefits brokerage and in-house payroll rails.
- Partner on capital allocation. Where the Series B goes, how we think about burn and runway, and the return on big bets like replacing our money-movement vendor.
- Build the finance function. Hire and lead the controller and ops side, and own relationships with our wealth, banking, and accounting partners and our auditors.
- Be the financial backbone of the next fundraise when it comes.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in finance, including ownership of FP&A and board reporting at a high-growth startup.
- Deep FP&A and strategic finance ability. You can build a model yourself from scratch and defend all assumptions to a board.
- Fluent in SaaS metrics, and ideally fintech or payments economics: float, money movement, and multi-product ARPU.
- You've partnered directly with a founder or CEO to make decisions and build.
- You can be hands-on now, and a team-builder later. No task is beneath our leadership at this stage.
Skills
Benefits
- 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.
- 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one.
- Flexible PTO: Uncapped flexible PTO, balanced with responsibilities and team commitments.
- Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits for your daily trip to our NYC office.
- Catered Lunch Daily: Great food, every day, on us.
- Quarterly Offsites: Beautiful locations to connect as a team (e.g., Spain, Catskills, San Francisco).
