Job summary

Hightouch, based in San Francisco, seeks a Strategic Finance Manager to own the economics of growth. You will model capacity, resources, and investments, partnering with leaders to ensure spend aligns with targets and drive efficiency across the business.

You will develop forecasting, unit economics, and segment analyses while supporting board reporting. This role requires data fluency, strong communication, and a rigorous, founder-like mindset in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• 4 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, including time at a high-growth company.
