About the Job

zerohash is looking for a Director of Strategic Finance to lead our strategic planning, FP&A, and commercial finance efforts. We are a high performing team looking for an equally ambitious and driven leader. This role will report directly to the VP, Corporate Finance and Treasury.

The right candidate for this position has a strong foundation in strategic finance, corporate planning, or high-performance analytical roles, followed by operating experience in high-growth tech, is detail oriented, deeply technical, and driven. You are eager to learn new technologies and complex systems. If you're looking to have a massive impact in a high-growth startup in one of the most exciting markets in decades, you will find this role challenging and rewarding in equal measure.

Responsibilities

• Architect the Operating Model: Own and evolve the consolidated corporate financial model (Three-Statement Model). Move beyond basic budgeting to create dynamic "tops-down" and "bottoms-up" forecasts that drive headcount planning and capital allocation.
• Deep-Dive Profitability: Architect a framework to track contribution margins on a per-product and per-platform customer basis.
• Product Strategy & Roadmap Alignment: Liaise with Product and Revenue teams to align technical resources with high-value customer demand across zerohash’s suite of products and services. Act as a strategic thought partner on roadmap prioritization, utilizing competitive analysis and market comps to validate pricing strategies and maximize ROI.
• Strategic Pricing & Deal Desk: Partner with the Revenue organization to structure complex enterprise contracts that will protect cost structure and create a path to future margin expansion. Arm the revenue team with pricing levers to optimize deal value.
• Vendor Strategy & Cost Optimization: Drive margin expansion by leading commercial negotiations with critical infrastructure vendors. You will actively manage the COGS stack to optimize unit economics and ensure our input costs scale efficiently.
• Strategic Initiatives: This role will represent the seamless extension of the VP of Corporate Finance, and CFO, providing interchangeable analytical support during high-stakes engagements. You will own the company's financial model infrastructure, ensuring external presentation materials, and investor-facing models are perpetually current. You will translate complex financial data into a compelling equity story.
• Scenario Analysis: Build sensitivity analyses to pressure-test the business against crypto market volatility, competition, regulatory developments, and customer behavioral transaction volume shifts.
• Customer Cohort Framework: Develop the framework and analyze LTV (Lifetime Value) and CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) across our product lines and verticals.

Requirements

• Preferred background in Investment Banking or Private Equity, followed by operating experience in Strategic Finance/FP&A at a high-growth tech company.
• Experience in FinTech, Crypto, Payments, or Brokerage is highly valued.
• Advanced Modeling Skills: You possess best-in-class financial modeling capabilities. You can build complex, integrated three-statement models from scratch that are clean, logical, and audit-able. Beyond the corporate view, you are equally adept at architecting granular product profitability models to dissect unit economics, contribution margins, and pricing levers across different verticals.
• Tech & Data Savvy: You go beyond Excel. You are comfortable navigating modern software tools and large datasets. Familiarity with SQL or BI tools (i.e. Databricks) is a major plus.
• AI & Process Automation: You leverage AI tools and automation to streamline workflows, inform data driven model assumptions, and reduce manual data entry.
• Commercial Acumen: You understand B2B/B2B2C API business models. You know the difference between Gross Revenue and Net Revenue in a payments/fintech context and can articulate how pricing impacts the bottom line and scalability.
• Demonstrated ability to effectively document and articulate business issues in a timely and professional manner.
• Effective communicator, both written and oral, with the ability to distill complex quantitative analysis into simple slides and memos for the Executive Team.
• Strong attention to detail in assessing financial information.
• Ability to adapt and learn new processes and tasks.
