About The Position

We are looking for our first Strategic Finance hire (Director level role) to lead analytical decision-making to support Candid Health’s fast-paced growth. In this role, you won't just handle financial planning— you will act as a strategic GTM partner to our GTM, Product, and Engineering teams. You won't just report on the numbers, you will influence the roadmap by identifying where we deploy capital next. You will be responsible for defining our unit economics, optimizing our GTM motion, informing our pricing and packaging, and building the forecasting models that drive our long-term strategy.

Requirements

Experience owning forecasting and analytical decision making at a high growth company.
A "model-builder" and systems architect who builds the financial infrastructure that will help us scale and inform decision making.
High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets.
Comfortable using SQL to pull your own data.
Can translate dense financial data into a compelling story for non-finance stakeholders.
Combines deep financial expertise with practical operational leadership.
As comfortable in the weeds of a complex model as you are partnering with executives on long-term strategy.
A "player-coach" and a founding finance leader who wants to build the templates and systems yourself.
Proactively look for ways to use AI and automation to make our financial planning process 10x faster and more accurate.

Responsibilities

Lead revenue forecasting, including annual plans, quarterly forecasts, and monthly reporting.
Drive the narrative for board meetings and investor relations.
Translate dense financial data into a compelling story.
Be a key voice in board preparation and executive level strategy.
Deep dive into our gross margins and define CAC/LTV by customer segment.
Partner with Sales and Product to iterate on pricing models for our Software and Services products and support the launch of new products.
Conduct rigorous analysis on TAM, new product opportunities, partnerships, and M&A to ensure we are deploying capital toward the highest-leverage outcomes.
Lead the transformation of our Finance stack by moving beyond manual Excel updates.
Experiment with and implement AI driven FP&A tools / systems to automate variance analysis and rolling forecasts, allowing you to focus on the strategy rather than tracking performance.
