Subject is the Netflix of K‑12—tripling booked ARR last year and accelerating toward our next Series B raise. We need a finance gladiator who can weaponize numbers at startup speed.
Zero bureaucracy. Zero hiding.
WHAT YOU OWN EVERY WEEK
- Strategic FP&A – work with the CEO & Vice President of Operations to map out our long-term financial strategies. Don't just craft our vision, direct how we get there.
- Fundraise Arsenal – own future fundraising narrative models & benchmarking.
- CFO Command – harvest process DNA, set SLA clock, decide keep/replace.
- CAC ↔ LTV War‑Room – real‑time channel payback with Marketing. (Re)define our hero metrics and help us optimize.
- Comp‑Plan Engineering – partner with CRO; publish dashboards AEs actually check.
- Treasury & Debt – extend IO period, monitor covenants, maximize yield on $30 M cash.
- P/L Control & Growth Unlocks – own the full income statement; obsess over spend‑to‑ARR ratio, gross‑margin lift, and free‑cash‑flow velocity.
YOU ARE / HAVE…
- Driven a SaaS rocket from ~$10 M to $50 M ARR (or bigger) and survived the Series B/C trench warfare.
- Complete workhorse—70‑hour weeks don’t scare you; winning energizes you.
- Fun, lively, mission‑obsessed. You light up a room and believe K‑12 needs radical change now.
- Automate FP&A (Sheets/Excel + Looker/Mode) instead of drowning in decks.
- Rolled out NetSuite (or equal) while the house is on fire.
- Speak investor and operator in the same breath.
- Thrive in a live, noisy sales floor—based in LA, office‑first.
