Full Job Description
As a Strategic Finance Manager, you will sit within the Strategic Finance GTM team and play a critical role in driving durable marketplace health across Provider and Patient. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who thrives at the intersection of financial analysis and strategic decision-making. You'll build models, track performance, and surface insights that drive appointment volume, retention, and long-run unit economics.

You will:
  • Serve as the primary Finance Business Partner for appointments reporting - patient churn, provider churn, appointments per provider, net revenue retention, and active patient behavior
  • Build and maintain functional operating models for Provider and Patient, and drive ongoing budgeting and forecasting processes for the function
  • Lead deep dives to identify business problems, perform root cause analysis, and develop strategies for accelerating progress - monitoring trends, surfacing early signals of de-averaged performance, and partnering with product, operating, and growth teams to address issues and scale successful behaviors
  • Partner cross-functionally to surface insights and support strategic decision-making
  • Develop dashboards, reporting, and executive-ready materials to communicate progress against goals

You'd be a great fit if:
  • You have 6+ years of professional experience, ideally in a mix of financial services (Investment Banking / Consulting / Private Equity) and highly analytical roles at a fast-growing tech company (Strategic Finance)
  • You are highly proficient in Google Sheets (advanced formulas) and Looker (or similar BI tools) and comfortable working with large datasets
  • You are detail-oriented and have a "measure twice, cut once" approach when working with financial data
  • You are excited about AI and how it's reshaping finance, and you actively explore and apply AI tools to drive faster insights, greater efficiency, and smarter decision-making
  • You're excited to work cross functionally with the business teams to develop a greater understanding of function-specific efficiency metrics and help course-correct where necessary
  • You take ownership and are a resourceful self-starter-you proactively seek context, solve ambiguous problems, and anticipate stakeholder needs
  • You communicate complex insights clearly, tailoring your message for different audiences (finance vs. business/product partners)
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and enjoy collaborating with Provider, Patient, product, and growth teams
  • You are excited about joining a mission-driven company and driving marketplace efficiency and durable growth to improve mental healthcare access

Compensation and Benefits:

The expected base pay range for this position is $152,000 - $190,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for an equity grant, depending on the position and level.

We are committed to offering a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package, including robust health and wellness benefits, retirement savings, and meaningful ownership opportunities through equity. Compensation decisions are made holistically, ensuring fairness and alignment with market benchmarks while recognizing individual contributions and potential.
