Résumé du poste

ParentSquare, a Santa Barbara-based company, seeks a Manager of Strategic Finance to shape strategic direction and drive data-driven decisions. You will partner with executives on growth initiatives, pricing strategy, and corporate development, including M&A evaluation and diligence.

You’ll build AI-enabled reporting and dashboards, scale analytics, and work with Product, Sales, Marketing, and Operations on key initiatives.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of prior experience in strategic finance at a SaaS company, strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, or corporate development.
• An AI-native mindset: you are proactive about using AI tools to accelerate research, modeling, and strategic analysis.
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills (a modeling test will be part of the process).
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to structure unstructured, open-ended business problems into clear frameworks and recommendations.
• Strong executive communication and storytelling skills, with experience preparing materials for and presenting to senior leadership or a board.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration, with the ability to balance attention to detail with a view of the bigger strategic picture.
• A self-starter with a bias to action - a proactive problem-solver who can roll up their sleeves and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Responsabilités

• Lead strategic initiatives to drive organic and inorganic growth, including M&A evaluation and diligence support, pricing and packaging strategy, and business cases for new products or markets.
• Serve as a strategic finance partner to business leaders and the executive team, delivering analysis on unit economics, ROI on strategic initiatives, and evaluation of build-vs-buy and partnership decisions.
• Partner with Product, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Operations on high-priority initiatives requiring financial analysis and business case development, driving the work from analysis through executive recommendation.
• Build AI-enabled reporting frameworks and dashboards that deepen real-time visibility into progress against strategic growth initiatives.
• Design and deploy AI agents and automated workflows that scale financial analyses, research, and reporting processes, extending the team's analytical capacity as the business grows.
