Pulley • Full-time • Remote (United States) • $150k - $185k / year • 4w ago

🚂 About Pulley

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We believe that more startups should exist and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity for the long term. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be.

We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, self-starters to help us build the next generation of equity and business management tools for founders in an AI-native world. Pulley is growing quickly with over 4,000 customers including startups like Linear, Runway, Fathom, and Roam.

Our trajectory is fueled by top investors like Founders’ Fund, Stripe, General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels. All of our growth has been organic, and we’re growing the team to meet the demand.

🌟 About the role

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Strategic Finance! In this role, you'll serve as a key strategic and analytical partner to our leadership team, taking ownership of our financial modeling, operational metrics, and strategic analysis. You'll be responsible for helping establish the foundation for how we operationalize a metrics-driven culture, ensuring that we operate at best-in-class SaaS benchmarks while identifying gaps and opportunities to drive business efficiency. This high-impact role offers the opportunity to work directly with executive leadership on critical financial decisions that shape our company's growth trajectory and operational excellence.

🛠 What you'll do

Own and build sophisticated financial models, forecasts, and scenarios that drive strategic decision-making across the organization
Monitor and analyze operational metrics to ensure we're performing at best-in-class SaaS benchmarks and identify areas for improvement
Support critical planning processes including annual budgets, quarterly forecasts, scenario planning, and long-term strategic planning initiatives
Lead monthly and quarterly business reviews that provide leadership with insights into business performance
Lead ad hoc analyses to support data-driven decision making
Serve as a strategic thought partner for cross-functional leaders, helping analyze business performance, identify inefficiencies, and translate data into actionable solutions

🙌 What you bring

4-7 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or strategic finance at high-growth companies
Exceptional financial modeling skills; your models are clean, accurate, and easy to audit
Strong understanding of SaaS business fundamentals, unit economics, and key operational metrics
Ability to think independently and strategically, but also have exceptional attention to detail to drive execution of strategy
Ability to translate complex financial data into clear strategic insights and recommendations for executive leadership
Strong executive presence - excellent verbal & written communications skills
High intellectual horsepower with attention to detail and ability to work with autonomy
You think and operate like a founder; you don’t wait for permission to make an impact

✨ Why work at Pulley?

We’ve moved beyond early-stage uncertainty - Our product has traction and we’re building on a solid foundation, but we’re still early enough in our journey where your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.
Make it easier for anyone to start a company - Founders turn bold ideas into reality - building things that might not exist otherwise. Pulley exists to make equity management simpler, smarter, and more accessible for founders from day one.
Work with a high-performing and passionate team - We value the concept of stunning colleagues and we’re thoughtful about creating a team that is excited about building a great company together. Here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:
First Principles Thinking - We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts, and that something is possible unless proven otherwise. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.
Ship It & Iterate - We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate.
Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate - Being boldly honest means challenging each other to set and hit goals, and make the right strategic decisions on what to build. Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team.
Ego-less Learner - Everyday at Pulley, we’re trying things that we’ve never done before - sometimes they work; sometimes they don’t. It’s important to embrace the mindset of a beginner - stay curious, open to feedback, and ready to learn and grow alongside the team.
