Strategic Finance Lead

We're Team Granola 👋

Granola is an AI-powered notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. What started as a better way to take notes has become a shared workspace that helps teams capture, organize, and act on what matters.

We're building a product people genuinely love and are fortunate to work with many of the world's most ambitious companies. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Strategic Finance Lead to help build the financial operating rhythm that supports the next stage of the company.

We’re looking for our first Strategic Finance hire to help build the financial operating rhythm behind Granola’s next stage of growth.

You’ll help build the financial operating rhythm of the company, owning core financial planning, analysis and strategic decision support. You’ll partner closely with leaders across the company to understand what’s happening in the business, identify the drivers behind performance and help us make better decisions about where we invest. This is a highly hands-on role with significant ownership from day one.

We are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since Engelbart's demo in 1968 and we want to assemble the best crew to build this future together. Our compensation philosophy is to hire the best people in the market and pay them accordingly with salary, variable, and equity.

Lastly, we think amazing talent comes from all kinds of life journeys and experiences. If what is written above speaks to you, whether you look like a fit on paper or not, please reach out.
