Strategic Finance Manager

About the role

Numeral is seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to apply serious analytical horsepower during the most critical growth phase of our company. The hire will own the construction and evolution of financial models that serve budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning for the business. This position requires a background steeped in the rigor of investment banking and private equity, with the expectation to deploy those skills inside a hyperscaling environment rather than as external advisors. You will work directly with the VP of Finance and the Head of Strategic Finance to develop the models and analyses that drive key decisions around hiring, GTM strategy, and capital allocation. The role involves deep partnership across functions to translate raw data into actionable insight that guides the entire business. As you take ownership of broader domains, you will see the full scope of our operations and the impact of your work will scale with your capability. This is a hands-on role for a builder who wants to shape the infrastructure of a rapidly growing company.
