Director of Strategic Finance

Forma.ai is a Series B startup that's revolutionizing how sales compensation is designed, managed and optimized. We handle billions in annual managed commissions for market leaders like Edmentum, Stryker, and Autodesk. 

Our growth has been fuelled by our passion for fundamentally changing and shaping how companies use sales intelligence to drive business strategy.  

We’re welcoming equally driven individuals who are excited about creating something big! 

We are looking for an exceptional, hands-on Director of Strategic Finance to act as the strategic right-hand lead to our VP of Finance. Operating alongside our Controller (who leads accounting close, statutory compliance, tax, and ERP administration), you will own our forward-looking financial strategy. You will lead our corporate modelling, deploy AI and modern automation workflows across Finance and RevOps, execute on M&A and capital markets transactions, and use generative AI or AI applications to build out high-performance analytics frameworks as the company scales.

- 7–10+ years in Strategic Finance, FP&A, BizOps, or Investment Banking / Management Consulting followed by high-growth B2B SaaS operational experience. Strong business acumen with a high intellectual curiosity.
- FP&A Mastery: Spreadsheet wizard with demonstrated mastery of complex revenue modelling, 3-statement modelling, operational modelling, SaaS metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, CAC payback), and executive-level financial storytelling.
- Engineering & AI Mindset: Practical experience architecting the finance tech stack and working with data, deploying AI/LLM tools, automation platforms (Python, SQL, Zapier/Make), and SaaS toolchains (Salesforce, Stripe/Chargebee, NetSuite) to eliminate manual workflows.
- Commercial Depth: Proven deal desk and commercial contract experience, with a solid grasp of pricing models, billing schedules, and equity compensation economics.
- Autonomy & Drive: High-autonomy builder who thrives with ambiguity and enjoys executing hands-on work from scratch with the leadership aptitude to manage direct reports as the team grows.
