Strategic Finance Leader

We are seeking a Strategic Finance Leader to join our team and design the financial foundation of our rapidly expanding portfolio of YouTube-first brands.

• Lead quarterly planning and revenue target-setting for each channel and product line.

• Partner closely with brand leaders to shape monetization, pricing, and profitability strategies.

• Business Opportunity Screening:
• Evaluate new business and partnership proposals, bringing a critical lens to help leadership make informed decisions.
• Run diligence, surface risks, and assess opportunity costs of new ideas vs. doubling down on what's already working.

• Efficiency, Tooling & Systems:
• Implement automation, eliminate repetitive tasks, and develop tools and workflows that reduce manual overhead for Finance and the wider team.
• Build out reporting infrastructure (dashboards, cash flow visibility, performance metrics) to provide clear, real-time insights across the company.

• Team Leadership & Collaboration:
• Manage and develop the Finance Manager and Bookkeeper, ensuring high performance, clarity of roles, and growth.
• Collaborate closely with executive leadership, creative producers, and operations leads – becoming a trusted thought partner in strategic decisions.

• We consistently hit or exceed quarterly revenue targets across all major business lines.
• Leadership has full financial visibility – zero surprises, no blind spots, and clear decision-making confidence.
• We can confidently greenlight or turn down new opportunities thanks to your insight and diligence.
• Finance systems are lean, automated, and seamlessly integrated into the team's daily workflow.
• The Finance team operates at a high level, with clear roles and growing capability under your leadership.
• You are seen across the company as a source of clarity, critical thinking, and trusted judgment.

• A finance professional with over 7 years of experience, ideally within startups, media, or consumer brands (background in YouTube or digital media is a strong advantage).
• Skilled at financial modeling, scenario planning, and risk assessment, with the ability to translate spreadsheets into actionable strategy.
• Able to work with speed and precision, balancing urgency in decision-making with accuracy in execution.
• Familiar with fast-changing environments and able to thrive in ambiguity, taking on diverse responsibilities while maintaining efficiency.
• Comfortable challenging assumptions, asking tough questions, and raising concerns when necessary to safeguard the business.
• Adept at simplifying complex financial information into clear, practical insights for non-finance stakeholders.
• Growth-minded and committed to building and contributing to a high-performance creative organization.
