Director, Strategic Finance
About The Position
We’re looking for a Director of Strategic Finance — a sharp, proactive operator who can blend analytical depth with strategic intuition. Reporting to the SVP, Strategy & Operations, you’ll be a key business partner to leadership, steering financial planning, modeling, and decision-making as we scale. This isn’t a back-office role. You’ll be hands-on in shaping company strategy, owning the models that drive our growth decisions, and working cross-functionally to turn insights into impact. You’ll have significant autonomy and visibility — influencing how we allocate resources, evaluate opportunities, and evolve as a business. If you thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and love connecting numbers to narrative, you’ll feel right at home here.
Requirements
- 5–7+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or consulting — ideally with exposure to DTC, consumer, or healthcare / medtech.
- Proven ability to build and maintain complex models that drive clarity and confidence in decision-making.
- Deep understanding of unit economics, cohort analysis, and customer lifetime value dynamics.
- Exceptional analytical and communication skills — you can turn data into a compelling story that drives action.
- A bias toward action: You don’t wait for direction; you identify problems, propose solutions, and execute.
- Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where things change — and you help bring order to the chaos.
- Proficiency with modern finance and analytics tools (Looker, SQL, Brex, BILL.com, NetSuite, or similar).
- Above all — you’re curious, driven, and motivated by impact.
Responsibilities
- Drive strategic planning: Own financial forecasting, long-term modeling, and scenario planning to guide Thesis’s next stage of growth.
- Be the connective tissue: Partner with the Chief of Staff and exec team to align resources with company priorities, OKRs, and expansion plans.
- Translate data into strategy: Build actionable insights that connect financial outcomes to key drivers like CAC, LTV, and contribution margin.
- Evaluate new opportunities: Assess new channels, partnerships, and products with rigorous, ROI-focused scenario analysis.
- Own the metrics: Drive external and internal Communications via investor decks, board materials, and internal updates that tie data to our strategic narrative.
- Build scalable systems: Design dashboards and analytical frameworks that make financial performance transparent across teams.
- Improve profitability: Identify and pull levers that enhance margins, unit economics, and operational efficiency.
- Collaborate and help drive decisions cross-functionally: Work closely with Marketing, Growth, Ops, Product and HR to ensure accountability and financial clarity.
- Lead key initiatives: Support special projects like pricing optimization, fundraising prep, or retail expansion.
- Uplevel finance operations: Streamline reporting cadences, month-end close, and data integrity across our tools and systems.
- Partner externally: Manage relationships with accountants, tax advisors, and finance vendors to keep us compliant and agile. Partner with our external bookkeeper to facilitate a timely, efficient and accurate month-end close. Collaborate with external tax accountants to manage Thesis’s federal and state tax obligations.
