The Role

As Partiful’s first finance hire, you'll own Partiful's finance function end-to-end - building the systems, model, and operational infrastructure that enable Partiful’s growth, and help the business make fast, confident decisions at scale. This is a role for someone who wants to own the full picture and can execute on the granular, day-to-day finance operations - modeling scenarios that inform our most important decisions, managing our P&L, coordinating with our tax & accounting firm to ensure our numbers are trustworthy & timely, tracking & reporting financial KPIs, and collaborating with every team in the business to set us up for success.

We're NY-based with a hybrid in-person model, in the office 3 days a week.

In this role you will:

• Own Partiful's financial model - build it, maintain it, and make it the thing leadership actually uses to make decisions

• Scenario model for our most important decisions - hiring, fundraising, expansion, monetization efforts

• Own pricing strategies & build the unit economics for Partiful’s monetization efforts

• Manage the financial side of ticketing deals - diligencing partners, modeling fee discounts & sponsorship ROI and building guardrails to mitigate risk

• Coordinate with our external accounting and tax firms to keep the close tight, the books clean, and the numbers trustworthy

• Own controls, policies & finance process design end-to-end

• Drive cost reduction across the business - identifying opportunities and actioning them, not just flagging them

• Build and own the company's budget infrastructure: data-driven department-level targets set with each lead, cost centers and card limits configured in Ramp, and tooling for visibility & reporting.

• Execute on day-to-day financial operations: AP/AR, internal & external reporting, cash management, cap table admin, and more.

You're a good fit if you:

• Have 4–6 years of experience in finance, with a foundation in PE or IB and at least 2 years at a startup

• Are comfortable owning the full scope - the fundraise scenario and the Ramp card audit in the same week

• Have excellent modeling and analytical skills; comfortable with calculating and owning all financial metrics

• Have experience underwriting deals and creating unique, effective deal structures

• Obsess over the numbers, holding an extremely high bar for accuracy and correctness. High attention to detail.

• Are AI-native, with a bias towards creating agents and relying on AI wherever possible to streamline workflows

• Are comfortable jumping into any problem to fix it, no matter how small

• Have a bachelor's degree, MBA as a bonus

What we offer:

• 401(k) with up to 6% matching

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and all your dependents (FSAs and HSA plans available)

• Free OneMedical membership, telehealth, and virtual mental health services

• Commuter benefits & contributions towards ClassPass and Citibike memberships

• Unlimited vacation (minimum 3 weeks required)

• Quarterly stipend to plan your own party and dogfood the product

• Annual team offsites

• Get invited to exclusive parties 🎉
