Work Environment

Vouch has employees across the U.S., with offices in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City. While this role has hybrid work flexibility, we require team members to be in the office at least three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) to foster close collaboration and team building.

Why this role matters

As the Director of Finance, you will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, serving as a critical business partner to the CFO and executive leadership. You will move beyond simple reporting to drive profitability, operational efficiency and financial oversight for the business.

In this "player‑coach" role, you will lead a direct report while rolling up your sleeves to own Vouch's financial architecture. You will own long‑range and annual planning, support board and investor relations, and build the data‑driven insights necessary to scale Vouch into the future.

• Strategic Planning & Forecasting: Lead the annual and semi‑annual planning processes, and monthly rolling forecasts. Partner with department heads to set targets and drive accountability.
• Executive & Board Partnership: Act as a strategic advisor to executive leadership. Produce materials for the executive team, Board of Directors, and investors providing financial clarity to guide strategic decisions.
• Drive Business Insights: Collaborate cross‑functionally with GTM, Product, and Data teams to refine driver‑based unit economics and analyze P&L impact. Lead profitability analyses to identify cost optimization and growth opportunities.
• Systems & Scale: Drive enhancements to and adoption of financial planning and reporting software. Implement process improvements that drive operating leverage across the company.
• Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and develop a direct report, helping them grow their skills in business partnering and operational excellence.

About you

• Experience: 8–10+ years of progressive experience in strategic finance, corporate FP&A, or investment banking, with a background in high‑growth tech or fintech environments.
• Technical Mastery: Expert‑level 3‑statement modeling skills (P&L / balance sheet / cash flow) with the ability to build complex models from scratch.
• Strategic Thinker: Experience partnering with executives to influence strategy, pricing, and resource allocation.
• Leadership: Demonstrated experience managing or mentoring team members and leading cross‑functional processes.
• Communication: Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex data into clear narratives for the Board and investors.
• Agility: Comfort working in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment where you must manage ambiguity and pick up unstructured tasks to run them to completion.
