Requirements

8–12 years in FP&A / corporate finance, with a track record of owning the model and the cadence in a high-growth setting.
Obsessed with the why behind the numbers — complete, correct, and fast in a dynamic environment, with the judgment to connect the model to the business.
Self-sufficient, with a bias to action. You take the ball and run, prioritize ruthlessly, and make the call with imperfect information. On a lean team there's no room for hand-holding.
AI-fluent and a builder. This is weighted heavily for us. We care about appetite and trajectory over a specific tool list — you've already started working differently because of AI, you're hands-on enough to extend our in-house tooling (data, APIs, SQL, automation), and you lean toward building over buying. Just as important: you know where AI needs a human check and can defend a number even when a model helped you get there.
You've lived in planning systems — now you'll build one. You've worked hands-on with a real planning platform (Anaplan, Planful, Pigment, or similar) and understand what makes one work — the data model, the rollups, the cadence, the adoption. You'll bring that hard-won instinct to building and scaling our own.
A real partner. You earn trust across the executive team and distill complex concepts into actionable insights, without losing your independence on the numbers. Built for a remote team.
Strong IC with management experience. You can run this largely on your own today, and you've managed before. Over time you'll build a team — deliberately lean in a post-AI world — while still contributing significantly as an individual.

Nice To Haves

Domain knowledge in government contracts, public sector go-to-market, and dual-use businesses (a real plus, not a dealbreaker)
Investment banking foundation
Experience through a fundraise or IPO
Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP

Responsibilities

Own the financial engine of the company — the model, the plan, and the cadence around them — and you drive it across the business.
Own a consolidated, bottoms-up three-statement model, built on a cross-functionally adopted, robust budgeting process.
Own revenue and cash forecasting.
Manage toward the metrics that matter — burn multiple, Rule of 40, efficiency.
Own and operate Ditto's Financial OS. Our AI-native, home-grown reporting and forecasting tool — the backbone leadership runs the business on.
Partner closely with the VP, Finance on capital-raise processes — building the model and helping tell the story of the business as we bring on capital.
Run the rhythm. Close alignment, review of actuals, and a regular, reliable forecast on a predictable cadence — anchored in a single source of truth and clean version-over-version change management.
Drive it cross-functionally. You forge strong partnerships with leadership and cross-functional teams — the foundation of aligned planning and financial storytelling.
Help check the close and keep forecasting aligned with how we account for things, across GAAP and non-GAAP views.
Produce much of our board reporting, and own commission / sales-comp design and administration in collaboration with GTM and People.
