[Remote] Director, Finance Strategy & Operations

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Commure is hiring a Director, Finance Strategy & Operations to lead cross-functional programs that connect finance with the rest of the business. The role owns finance processes, systems, and alignment initiatives, and advances AI and automation to prepare the finance organization to scale.

Responsibilities

• Own Cross-Functional Finance Programs End-to-End: Serve as the directly responsible individual for multi-team initiatives spanning finance, revenue operations, engineering, legal, people, and product (e.g., quote-to-cash, customer and contract data cube, planning-to-close handoffs, M&A finance integration). Set scope, define success, sequence the work, and own the result
• Delegate Without Losing Accountability: Break programs into workstreams, assign them to the right owners across the org, run the cadence that keeps them moving, and personally unblock what stalls. You keep the whole picture even when you aren't doing every piece
• Build Strategic Alignment with the Business: Translate between finance and operators. Get sales, product, engineering, and corporate leaders to agree on definitions, owners, and timelines, and make sure finance processes reflect how the business actually runs rather than how finance wishes it ran
• Operate in a High-Visibility Seat: Your core stakeholders are the Head of FP&A, the Head of Finance, the Chief Legal & Corporate Officer, and the CEO. Expect to brief executives directly, frame the decisions they need to make, and be the face of finance on the programs you own
• Design Processes and the Systems Behind Them: Map current-state processes, design future state, and partner with Business Systems, Engineering, and vendors to implement. Own the finance-side requirements and acceptance for tools across the stack (NetSuite, Salesforce, planning platforms, data warehouse, internal tooling)
• Take Any Project and Run With It: Act as the jack-of-all-trades the finance leadership team can hand an ambiguous, high-priority problem to with confidence that it will get structured, staffed, and finished
• Drive AI & Automation Into Finance Processes: Identify where LLM and automation tooling removes manual steps in the processes you own, pilot them, and institutionalize what works. Partner with the AI & Technology Finance lead on standards and governance
• Prepare the Finance Org for Scale: Document processes, controls, and ownership so that finance can grow toward IPO-readiness without linear headcount growth

Skills

• 8+ years across FP&A, strategic finance, business operations, finance transformation, consulting, and/or chief-of-staff roles, with a tour of duty in a high-growth, unstructured environment
• A track record as the DRI on large cross-functional programs (e.g., quote-to-cash, ERP or planning-platform implementations, data warehouse or reporting builds, M&A integration) that you drove to completion through people who did not report to you
• Strong process orientation: you instinctively map current state, define future state, assign owners, and set a cadence
• Fluency across the finance stack and the business systems that feed it (NetSuite, Salesforce, planning platforms such as Pigment/Anaplan/Adaptive, data warehouses, internal tooling); comfort writing requirements and acceptance criteria for engineers and vendors
• Enough finance and accounting literacy to understand what the close, the forecast, revenue recognition, and the board deck need from a process, without needing to own the numbers yourself
• Hands-on LLM literacy (e.g., Claude Cowork & Code) and a point of view on applying AI to finance operations
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to run a steering meeting with VPs, write a one-page decision memo, and brief the CFO in two minutes
• Low ego, high ownership; comfortable being accountable for outcomes you don't fully control
• Familiarity with SQL and low/no-code dashboarding tools (e.g., Retool, Looker) is a plus
• Experience in healthcare SaaS, pre-IPO environments, M&A integration, and/or program management certification (PMP, Lean/Six Sigma) is a plus

Benefits

• Offers Equity
