Hey there!
We’re Realm, a fast-growing marketplace that’s on a mission to use AI to transform the world of home renovations. Backed by Primary Ventures and Notable Capital (Formerly GGV), we’ve already become the leader in the renovation marketplace space, but we’re just getting started. We’re hungry. We’re ambitious. And we’re excited to build a massive business that transforms the way people think about, manage, and renovate their largest asset: their home.
We’re expanding our Finance team, and are looking for a Strategic Finance Associate/Lead to jump in and help us scale fast. If you thrive in a fast-paced, intense, growth-driven environment, you’ll love it here. We need someone who can roll up their sleeves, get into the details, and push the needle on everything from forecasting to strategy. You’ll play a key role in helping us hit our ambitious goals and become a dominant force in the renovation industry.
Your Role:
As a member of our Strategic Finance team, you’ll work directly with senior leadership to drive strategic financial decisions. This is a high-visibility role where you’ll own critical financial models, manage forecasting and budgeting, and provide data-driven insights that will shape the direction of the business. If you love working in an environment where the stakes are high, the pace is relentless, and the opportunities are huge, you’ll fit right in.
You’ll report to our VP of Finance & Strategy, and be a trusted partner across the company, collaborating with our sales, operations, and marketing team. We’re growing fast, and we need someone who can keep up and help us make smart, quick decisions while we scale to the next level.
What You’ll Do:
- Build and manage financial models to support our business strategy and guide key decision-making.
- Analyze data from all areas of the business to identify opportunities for improvement, helping teams across the company drive results.
- Help lead our quarterly and annual planning processes, setting KPIs and OKRs for the team, and creating high quality dashboard to track performance.
- Assist with fundraising efforts, investor communications, and strategic initiatives that help us hit our long-term vision.
- Be hands-on in driving efficiency—identify and improve processes to make sure we’re scaling smartly without losing our edge.
What You’ll Need:
- You’ve got a background in FP&A, investment banking, investing, consulting, or a similar field. You’ve built models, done deep analysis, and you know what it takes to move fast in a high-growth environment.
- You’ve got an obsession with the details and can connect the dots to tell a story. Financials are your language, you’re excellent at Excel and Google Sheets, and comfort writing SQL queries (or willing to quickly learn).
- You can manage multiple priorities at once, stay cool under pressure, and know how to prioritize when everything feels important.
- You’re comfortable making strategic recommendations based on data — your insights will directly impact our growth.
- You’re willing to dive into the weeds. We don’t need a passive observer; we need someone who’s ready to get their hands dirty and drive real change.
- You’ve got strong communication skills and know how to translate complex financial concepts into clear and well-written slides and memos that everyone can understand — from engineers to execs.
- You’re excited to work out of our LA, SF, or NY offices, with a preference for our LA headquarters.
Nice to Have, But Not Necessary (So Don’t Let It Stop You):
- Experience working in a start-up or early-stage company— you thrive in a fast-paced, intense environment and get excited about building something from the ground up.
- Familiarity with venture capital, fundraising, and the startup ecosystem.
- Experience with the prop-tech/construction-tech space or a deep interesting in start-ups using AI and technology to solve problems in the “built environment.”
HEY! Go apply already.
Let’s be real — this is going to be an intense ride. If you’re ready to work hard, move fast, and help us build something massive, we want to hear from you. We’re scaling quickly, and this role will play a huge part in our success.
The total compensation for this position includes a competitive base salary, equity, comprehensive health benefits, and the potential for performance-based bonuses. We believe in rewarding hard work and hustle, and we want you to share in the success you help create.
