Tremendous is profitable and growing without outside investors. We're a fully remote, high-documentation, low-meeting culture, which means more time for what matters in both your professional and personal life. The team agrees– our employee NPS is in the high 80s.

About the role

As the Head of Finance, you will sit at the intersection of operational modeling, data-driven strategy, and narrative storytelling. This is a high-leverage role reporting directly to leadership, where your time is split is between roughly 75% core FP&A and 25% strategic finance.

You will be responsible for translating the operational complexity of our business into clear, defensible financial forecasts, while simultaneously building compelling financial narratives for internal decision-making and external stakeholders. We are profitable and growing without outside investors, meaning your time will be spent on actual business strategy and execution rather than investor relations or board presentation theater

What you'll do

• Own FP&A: Oversee and maintain detailed financial models that capture our complex revenue streams. Work with the Finance and Data teams to document assumptions, outputs, and scenarios in a way that's both rigorous and understandable.
• Drive forecasting and planning: Keep our financial forecasts updated, accurate, and defensible. Automate wherever possible.
• Support deal desk: Help structure and price of complex enterprise deals. Work cross-functionally with sales, legal, and product to ensure deals are both financially sound and aligned with our strategic goals.
• Explore and optimize: Dig into our data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities. Bring curiosity and analytical rigor to everything you do.
• Create the external story: Package our business model and financials into clear, compelling narratives for external parties- whether that’s potential strategic partners, vendors, or long-term stakeholders.
• Build the function: As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to build out the finance team and establish best practices for financial operations.

About you

• 4+ years at growth-stage startups: You've led finance teams and owned the FP&A model at fast-moving startups and understand the pace and ambiguity that comes with it. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
• Strategic finance perspective: You can think about the business from a strategic angle and tell a compelling financial story, not just produce the numbers.
• Modeling obsessive: You genuinely enjoy building financial models and can get lost in Excel or other modeling tools. You care about getting the details right.
• Deal structuring experience: You've worked on pricing and structuring complex enterprise deals, ideally in a B2B context.
• Transaction involvement: Hands-on involvement in startup transactions (investment or acquisition).
• Naturally curious: You ask "why" and "what if" constantly. You're drawn to complex problems and enjoy digging into data to find answers.
• Low ego, high impact operator: You're excited to do the work yourself rather than delegating everything.

What's cool about the role

No board theater: We're profitable with no outside investors, which means no board meetings and no wasted time on investor relations. Your work will focus on actual financial planning and analysis.

Complex, interesting business: Our revenue model is sophisticated and multi-faceted. If you like easy, simple SaaS businesses, this isn't the role for you. If you like intellectual challenges, you'll love it here.

Competitive pay and equity. Base salary for this role: $250,000 to $290,000.

Real benefits. 100% covered health (US), unlimited PTO, 12-16 weeks paid parental leave.

Fully remote. Work from anywhere in the Americas.
