The ideal candidate will be an experienced deal leader with deep SaaS and FinTech domain knowledge, strong financial acumen, and the ability to translate strategy into numbers that withstand investor and board scrutiny.
Key Responsibilities

Financial Modeling & Valuation Leadership
- Own and maintain the company’s investor-grade valuation model, ensuring it reflects best-in-class SaaS metrics, capital structure, and financial performance indicators (eg, ARR growth, NRR, CAC payback, LTV/CAC, gross margin, contribution margin, and rule-of-40)
- Build dynamic, driver-based financial models to support capital allocation decisions, M&A assessments, fundraising, and IPO planning
- Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess strategic alternatives and market impacts
- Collaborate with FP&A, Accounting, and Investor Relations to ensure consistency between internal forecasts and external investor materials
- Establish modeling standards and documentation for version control, auditability, and transparency consistent with public-company readiness
- Support quarterly valuation updates, board reporting, and investor presentations
M&A Execution
- Lead the full M&A lifecycle: sourcing, valuation, due diligence, negotiation, and closing
- Coordinate cross-functional teams and external advisors (bankers, consultants, legal counsel) throughout the deal process
- Prepare executive and board-level materials summarizing financial impact, strategic fit, and integration approach
Integration & Value Realization
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Finance, and Operations leaders to design post-merger integration plans that drive revenue and operational synergies
- Establish performance metrics and reporting frameworks to track deal value realization
- Create repeatable playbooks for M&A execution and integration
Qualifications
