Runwise is looking to hire a Strategic Finance Manager and add to one of the largest and fastest-growing prop-tech companies in the United States.

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 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
  • Strategically partner cross-functionally with other business units (e.g., sales, marketing, field service) to conduct deep-dive analysis, creatively solve ad-hoc analytical problems, monitor results, and iterate on alternative solutions
  • 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 
  • 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. 

Salary range: $120,000-$140,0000 based on experience level 

What you believe: 

  • No job is too small.
  • Sincerity builds trust.
  • Setbacks fuel progress.
  • Efficiency is vital.

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • HSA & FSA options
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Access to Talkspace & Health Advocate
  • Flexible PTO
  • Commuter Benefits
  • 401K
  • Company paid life insurance
  • Voluntary supplemental life insurance
  • Free in-office lunch on Wednesdays
  • Hybrid work environment
  • Summer Fridays
  • Monthly L&D Series
  • Employee Resource Groups (e.g. DEIB Committee, Run Club)

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-growing company, one of the true leaders within energy efficiency in the Northeast. You will be surrounded by talented people, including working very closely with our co-founder and sales leader. Your success will also make a tangible impact on reducing carbon emissions across the country, within the cities where we operate.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
