Full Job Description
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.

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

In your application, please include a note on what's got you excited about Partiful! The compensation range for this role is $170,000-$190,000 depending on years of experience.
