Full Job Description
About the Role

We're hiring a Head of Finance to build and own the financial engine of a company scaling revenue to $50M+. You'll be the CEO's primary partner on strategic finance: the operating model, board and investor reporting, unit economics, and the capital decisions that come with an $85M-raised, money-moving business. You'll start hands-on and build the team beneath you over time.

What you'll do
  • Own the financial model and forecast. Turn the charter's revenue trajectory into a plan the company runs against and a model the board trusts.
  • Run board and investor reporting: monthly metrics, quarterly board materials, and the financial narrative behind both.
  • Own unit economics and pricing analysis. ARPU, gross margin, payback, and the economics of new lines like benefits brokerage and in-house payroll rails.
  • Partner on capital allocation. Where the Series B goes, how we think about burn and runway, and the return on big bets like replacing our money-movement vendor.
  • Build the finance function. Hire and lead the controller and ops side, and own relationships with our wealth, banking, and accounting partners and our auditors.
  • Be the financial backbone of the next fundraise when it comes.


What we're looking for:
  • 5+ years in finance, including ownership of FP&A and board reporting at a high-growth startup.
  • Deep FP&A and strategic finance ability. You can build a model yourself from scratch and defend all assumptions to a board.
  • You are fluent in SaaS metrics, and ideally fintech or payments economics: float, money movement, and multi-product ARPU.
  • You've partnered directly with a founder or CEO to make decisions and build.
  • You can be hands-on now, and a team-builder later. No task is beneath our leadership at this stage.


Nice to Have:
  • Experience in the payroll, payments, insurance space, or another regulated money-moving business.
  • You've helped run a priced fundraise.


Benefits at Warp:
  • 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.
  • 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one.
  • Unlimited PTO: We offer flexible PTO, meaning you're trusted to take the time you need to recharge while balancing your responsibilities and team commitments.
  • Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits for your daily trip to our NYC office.
  • Catered Lunch Daily: Great food, every day, on us. No meal prep, no decision fatigue.
  • Quarterly Offsites: Beautiful locations to connect as a team. Past locations include Spain and Catskills.

Warp is based in New York City, and we prioritize candidates who can commit to being on-site 5x per week. Please refer to the top of this page for this position's hiring location.
