Strategic Finance Lead - Product & Infrastructure

Eve•San Mateo, CA

About The Position

As our Strategic Finance Business Partner for Product and Infrastructure, you will be the bridge between our technical roadmap and our financial bottom line. This role will be primarily focused on partnering with the R&D org, but in addition will provide coverage for G&A functions including headcount planning and departmental budgeting. This is a high-impact role where you won't just "track the budget"—you will actively shape how we price our products and where we deploy capital. Whether you are analyzing the gross margin impact of a new AI feature or right-sizing our global G&A footprint, your insights will directly influence leadership.

6+ years of total work experience, including 3+ years in investment banking, private equity, and/or venture capital, paired with 3+ years of strategic finance/FP&A at a high-growth technology company.
Direct experience with Product Finance, specifically modeling COGS, gross margins, and/or cloud infrastructure costs.
Demonstrated expertise in pricing analysis or business model transformation (e.g., moving from seats to usage-based pricing).
Strong quantitative skills, with the ability to build complex, multi-variable models from scratch.
Exceptional communication skills, specifically the ability to explain financial trade-offs to highly technical engineering and product leaders.
High degree of empathy and tact required to manage departmental budgets and resource allocation across sensitive corporate functions.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Mathematics, Engineering, or other STEM field
