Head of Strategic Finance

San Francisco, California / New York, New York

About Hightouch

Hightouch is the modern AI platform for marketing and growth teams. Our AI agents reimagine marketing workflows, allowing marketers to create content, plan campaigns, and execute strategies with transformational velocity and performance.

Hightouch is a rare company built on the intersection of two fundamental technological shifts: advances in LLMs and agentic AI, and the creation and rapid adoption of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. Building on these tailwinds, we’ve become a leader in AI marketing and partner with industry leaders like Domino’s, Chime, Spotify, Ramp, Whoop, Grammarly, and over 1000 others.

Our team focuses on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We approach challenges with first-principles thinking, move quickly and efficiently, and treat each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.

The Role

Hightouch is hiring for a Head of Strategic Finance! You’ll drive improvement across every team at Hightouch, work closely with our executive team, and report directly to our CFO. This isn’t a role where you’ll be doing Excel in a corner to build a model no one looks at. If you’ve been looking to deeply understand and make an impact on a high-growth startup, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive a culture of accountability by owning Hightouch’s operating model and running our monthly / quarterly business review cadence.
  • Work closely with the GTM team to ensure we’re maximizing ROI on our sales and marketing spend while effectively investing for the future.
  • Analyze, monitor, and drive improvements to our SaaS metrics.
  • Surface quantitative insights across the business to increase growth and efficiency.
  • Support investor relations efforts, including board meeting preparation.
  • Collaborate closely with our wolrd-class Revenue Operations, Data, and Accounting teams to ensure that we have the information we drive thoughtful and rapid decision-making.

What We’re Looking For

  • Your skills:
    • Impact orientation: you’ve driven increased visibility, accountability, and alignment in ways that have deeply improved a business.
    • Deep stakeholder empathy: you seek to understand your collaborators’ viewpoints and challenges.
    • Ability to derive meaningful strategic insights from a variety of datasets: you love playing detective to drive change.
    • Elite financial modeling: your models are accurate, easy to audit, and backed by a deep understanding of underlying business levers.
    • SaaS veteran: you have a strong knowledge of SaaS metrics and know the strengths and weaknesses of payback period, LTV/CAC, burn multiple, and the like.
    • Bonus points if you’re comfortable using BI tools (we use Omni, but experience with Looker, Hex, or Sigma will serve you well also) or SQL to find and analyze information.
  • Your background:
    • You started your career in a top-tier investment banking, consulting, and private or public investing firm. You’ve already pivoted to and love high-growth startups and have potentially gone through an exit cycle.
    • You have at least five years of full-time work experience and your trajectory so far reflects the high level of impact you’ve made.
    • You’re deeply curious about businesses and how they grow.
    • You’d be excited to work hands-on at first and begin to grow out your team in the next 3-6 months after start.
    • You’re entrepreneurial and don’t wait for permission in order to make an impact.

We are seeking talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in addressing the problems outlined above. We focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. The salary range for this position is $200,000-$ 240,000 (USD) per year, which is location-independent in accordance with our remote-first policy.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
