21h•$190,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Commure is hiring a Director, Finance Strategy & Operations to lead cross-functional programs that connect finance with the rest of the business. This is a process, technology, and alignment role—not a forecasting or accounting seat. The director owns complex initiatives from scope through completion, such as quote-to-cash, customer and contract data infrastructure, planning-to-close handoffs, and finance integration for acquisitions. The role works with senior company leaders and helps build the infrastructure needed to scale a pre-IPO healthcare technology finance organization beyond $1 billion in revenue. The director translates between finance and business teams, aligns stakeholders on definitions, ownership, and timelines, and designs processes and the systems that support them. They partner with Business Systems, Engineering, and vendors on implementation, and own finance-side requirements and acceptance for tools across the technology stack. The role also identifies and pilots AI and automation opportunities in finance processes, in partnership with the AI & Technology Finance lead, and establishes documentation, controls, and ownership that support scale and IPO readiness. The position involves frequent program and workstream meetings, executive updates, cross-functional alignment, requirements and process documentation, milestone reviews, and planning-cycle coordination. Key stakeholders include the Head of FP&A, Head of Finance, Chief Legal & Corporate Officer, and CEO.
