VP of Finance
About The Position
We're looking for a VP of Finance to lead the finance function at Jasper and serve as a strategic partner on the executive team. This is the senior-most finance role in the company, reporting directly to the CEO, and we need someone who shows up as a business leader first and a finance leader second. The right person for this role is strategy-heavy. You'll translate the CEO's vision into realistic financial and operating models, help chart the company's direction in a rapidly evolving AI market, and bring financial insight to every major decision. You'll also own the full finance function FP&A, accounting, and strategic finance but operational rigor at this level is expected, not the differentiator. What sets you apart is your ability to influence cross-functionally, support fundraising and investor relationships, and help Jasper make the right strategic bets. This fully remote role reports to the CEO and is open to candidates located anywhere in the continental US.
Requirements
- 12+ years of progressive experience across finance, FP&A, accounting, or financial operations, with meaningful time in high-growth B2B SaaS environments
- Prior experience as a VP Finance, Senior Director of Finance, or equivalent — having owned or significantly shaped the finance function at a growth-stage technology company
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a strategic business partner, not just a finance operator — with a track record of influencing decisions beyond the finance function
- Strong foundation across FP&A and accounting with the ability to operate across the full finance stack
- Experience supporting board reporting, investor communications, and fundraising processes
- Hands-on experience with M&A – including target evaluation, financial due diligence, deal modeling, and post-acquisition integration planning
- Advanced financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills; deep Excel expertise
- Hands-on experience with NetSuite and modern finance tools
- Solid understanding of GAAP, SaaS business models, subscription/usage-based revenue, and key operating metrics
- Proven ability to communicate complex financial insights clearly and persuasively to executives, board members, and cross-functional partners
- Demonstrated success building, mentoring, and scaling high-performing finance teams
- High degree of ownership, a bias toward action, and comfort operating in ambiguity
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required; MBA or CPA preferred
Responsibilities
- Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, providing financial leadership that actively shapes company direction, resource allocation, and growth priorities
- Translate the CEO's vision and strategic priorities into actionable financial and operating models that drive alignment across the business
- Lead strategic planning, scenario analysis, and investment evaluation to support agile decision-making in a fast-moving AI market
- Partner deeply with cross-functional executives on priorities, trade-offs, and performance accountability — earning trust as a go-to business partner, not just a finance function
- Collaborate with Product and GTM leaders to shape pricing strategy, deal structuring, and monetization initiatives
- Support Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success with financial targets, unit economics analysis, performance tracking, and KPI reviews
- Bring financial rigor to commercial decisions without slowing the business
- Prepare and present board and investor materials that frame financial performance within the broader business narrative and strategic context
- Support fundraising processes and due diligence as a key contributor; manage investor communications alongside the CEO
- Build comfort operating in board-level conversations and stakeholder management
- Own the full finance function end-to-end — FP&A, accounting, strategic finance, and financial operations
- Lead annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning, building and maintaining SaaS financial models
- Oversee all accounting operations, ensuring GAAP compliance, timely and accurate monthly close, and strong internal controls
- Manage and optimize financial systems and infrastructure (including NetSuite) to support scale and efficiency
- Define, track, and communicate core SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR, churn, gross margin, cash flow, and LTV/CAC
- Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team; establish scalable processes that balance rigor with the speed a startup demands
