How You'll Make an Impact at MarqVision

MarqVision is seeking a strategic, hands-on finance leader to partner with the Head of Finance and executive team in shaping the company's growth trajectory. As our first Strategic Finance hire, you'll own the operating model, financial planning, and core business analyses that guide high-stakes decisions across the organization.

You'll work closely with GTM and Product leadership on revenue strategy, pricing, and margin optimization, while also driving company-wide initiatives to improve financial performance. This is both a builder role (designing processes, systems, and frameworks from the ground up) and a strategic partner role (helping the company scale efficiently). As we grow, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a high-performing Strategic Finance team.

What You'll Achieve

• Own company-wide financial and strategic planning (forecasting, long-range planning, budgeting).
• Partner with GTM leaders on revenue planning, pricing, and unit economics.
• Lead high-impact analyses to support strategic decisions (e.g., product expansion, headcount planning, M&A).
• Prepare and deliver financial updates to the leadership team, Board, and investors.
• Define, track, and optimize KPIs to advance understanding of key financial drivers.
• Act as a thought partner to leaders across the organization on scaling efficiently.
• Recruit, mentor, and scale a world-class Strategic Finance team over time.

Skills You'll Need to Bring

• 8–10+ years of experience in finance, ideally with a mix of investment banking / consulting and operating finance roles (B2B SaaS experience strongly preferred).
• Proven ability to build and own company-wide models, frameworks, and processes from scratch.
• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with measurable impact.
• Comfort operating at both 30,000 ft (strategy, board-level discussions) and in the weeds (modeling, analysis, process design).
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex financial topics for different audiences.
• Bias toward action: scrappy, hands-on, and thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
• Leadership potential: experience managing projects or small teams, with a desire to grow into a team-building role.
• This role is based in San Francisco, California (Hybrid) and requires being in the office at least once per week.

Compensation and Benefits

For U.S. residents, MarqVision provides a competitive benefits package, including equity opportunities, health benefits, and other perks designed to support our employees' well-being and professional growth. The estimated base salary range for this role is $200,000–$230,000, with additional equity, depending on experience and skills.
