Overview
PostHog is hiring a Finance Lead to oversee financial operations and strategy. You'll work in a remote environment and contribute to the growth of a well-funded SaaS company. This position requires significant experience in finance within a SaaS context.
Job Description
Who you are
You have extensive experience in finance, ideally within a SaaS company that has scaled beyond $100 million in annual recurring revenue. As a Finance Lead, you've held significant responsibility, likely as the #1 or #2 in your finance department, and have a strong understanding of usage-based revenue models. Your background includes working in a remote-first environment, which has equipped you with the skills to manage finance operations effectively across different time zones and cultures.
You are comfortable with multi-entity financial management and have a proven track record of driving financial strategy in a fast-paced, product-led organization. Your analytical skills are top-notch, allowing you to derive insights from financial data that inform business decisions. You are also adept at communicating complex financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is aligned with the company's financial goals.
Desirable
Experience with multi-entity finance operations is a plus, as is familiarity with the unique challenges of a remote-first company. If you've worked in a development tool SaaS environment, that would be particularly beneficial. You understand the nuances of scaling finance operations in a rapidly growing company and are ready to take on the challenges that come with it.
What you'll do
As the Finance Lead at PostHog, you will be responsible for overseeing all financial operations, including budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting. You will collaborate closely with other departments to ensure that financial strategies align with overall business objectives. Your role will involve analyzing financial data to provide insights that drive decision-making and support the company's growth trajectory.
You will lead the finance team, mentoring and developing team members to enhance their skills and performance. Your leadership will be crucial in fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within the finance department. You will also play a key role in strategic planning, helping to shape the company's financial future as it continues to innovate and expand its product offerings.
What we offer
At PostHog, we pride ourselves on being a well-funded company with a strong product-market fit. We offer a transparent work environment where everyone can access our roadmap and understand our financial strategies. You will be part of a dynamic team that values innovation and efficiency, and you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the company's success. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse perspectives and backgrounds.
