This high-impact role offers the opportunity to work directly with executive leadership on critical financial decisions that shape our company's growth trajectory and operational excellence.

🛠 What you'll do

• Own and build sophisticated financial models, forecasts, and scenarios that drive strategic decision-making across the organization
• Monitor and analyze operational metrics to ensure we're performing at best-in-class SaaS benchmarks and identify areas for improvement
• Support critical planning processes including annual budgets, quarterly forecasts, scenario planning, and long-term strategic planning initiatives
• Lead monthly and quarterly business reviews that provide leadership with insights into business performance
• Lead ad hoc analyses to support data-driven decision making
• Serve as a strategic thought partner for cross-functional leaders, helping analyze business performance, identify inefficiencies, and translate data into actionable solutions

🙌 What you bring

• 4-7 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or strategic finance at high-growth companies
• Exceptional financial modeling skills; your models are clean, accurate, and easy to audit
• Strong understanding of SaaS business fundamentals, unit economics, and key operational metrics
• Ability to think independently and strategically, but also have exceptional attention to detail to drive execution of strategy
• Ability to translate complex financial data into clear strategic insights and recommendations for executive leadership
• Strong executive presence - excellent verbal & written communications skills
• High intellectual horsepower with attention to detail and ability to work with autonomy
• You think and operate like a founder; you don’t wait for permission to make an impact

✨ Why work at Pulley?

• We’ve moved beyond early-stage uncertainty - Our product has traction and we’re building on a solid foundation, but we’re still early enough in our journey where your work will directly shape the company’s trajectory as we scale.
• Make it easier for anyone to start a company - Founders turn bold ideas into reality - building things that might not exist otherwise. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing equity shouldn’t be. Pulley exists to make equity management simpler, smarter, and more accessible for founders from day one.
• Work with a high-performing and passionate team - We value the concept of stunning colleagues and we’re thoughtful about creating a team that is excited about building a great company together. Here are our operating principles:
• Principles over playbooks - Understand why strategies succeed or fail by asking questions. When you know the ‘why’, you can adapt, innovate, and find new paths to success.
• Momentum over speed - Find the best path to deliver value. Build momentum to balance the short term wins vs longer term success.
• Good taste over data - Take bold bets and trust your instincts to find the unlikely bet.
• Ideas over egos - Let the best idea win, no matter where it comes from. Cultivate an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up.
• Gladiator over spectator - Execute; don’t just critique or ideate. You’re the one putting in the work, sweating the details, and driving for results.
• Conviction over consensus - Have the courage to back your ideas strongly, even when they defy the status quo. Disagree and commit.
• Proactive over passive - Drive your own clarity and pull for context. Ask questions, dig deeper, and grasp the full picture.
