Runwise is looking to hire a Strategic Finance Manager and add to one of the largest and fastest-growing prop-tech companies in the US.
Runwise (www.runwise.com) is a fast-paced, customer-focused climate-tech startup that controls and runs the key energy systems (heating, water, etc…) in 7,000+ buildings throughout the US. Runwise’s unique hardware and software service significantly reduces energy usage, substantially lowering costs and carbon output. As of today, Runwise’s technology takes the equivalent of 100,000 cars worth of carbon emissions off the road each year.
In this highly visible and dynamic role, you’ll have the opportunity to work hand in hand with the CFO, CEO, and other leaders to develop and refine Runwise’s financial strategy. You’ll join a high-growth start-up as the company’s first strategic finance hire and leverage your analytical skills to solve complex financial challenges that do not have well-defined solutions.
Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Lead all financial modeling. Build sophisticated financial models and synthesize outputs into actionable insights to support immediate, medium, and long-term decision-making
- Monitor financial performance metrics, cash flow dynamics, and other KPIs to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions whenever necessary
- Work closely with the CFO and executive leadership team to define and constantly improve the Company’s financial strategy, including regularly evaluating financing alternatives, monitoring venture debt and equity market activity, and developing relationships with current and prospective financial stakeholders
- Strategically partner cross-functionally with other business units (e.g., sales, marketing, field service) to conduct deep-dive analyses, creatively solve ad-hoc analytical problems, monitor results, and iterate on alternative solutions
- Assist in evaluating potential M&A opportunities and strategic partnerships
- Manage recurring and ad-hoc financial operations requirements such as financial reporting, investor data requests, quarterly sales incentive plan payouts, strategic partnership operations, etc.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Experience. You have 2-6 years of relevant experience in investment banking, consulting, and/or private equity. Operational SaaS and /or strategic finance experience is a plus. You have a long track record of academic and professional success.
- Technical Skills. You’re an expert in Excel and have experience building complex financial models from scratch. You can synthesize large datasets into actionable outputs and combine financial modeling, other quantitative analysis, and sound business judgment to recommend solutions.
- Strategic Thinking. You’re a data-driven thinker and you approach complex problems with an open mind. You are intellectually curious, and you naturally seek to understand the ‘why’ behind data. You can synthesize complex information into creative recommendations.
- Precision. You value precision and accuracy, you have a sharp attention to detail and you take pride in all of your work. You have a natural feel for numbers and data, and you can produce a high-quality work product in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
- Attitude. You’re a self-starter and you’re comfortable operating in ambiguous and uncertain situations. You desire to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with limited guidance. You’re energized by joining a high-growth company and making an immediate impact. You’re flexible and amenable to the constantly changing requirements of our business. You’re willing to voice your opinions and challenge decisions strongly, but ready to disagree and commit when required.
