Job Description

About Arcade:

Our mission is to empower teams to become great storytellers.

Our vision is to build dynamic visual experiences.

More than 22,000 teams use Arcade to tell better, more engaging product stories, and we need your help spreading the word! Culturally, we are a team of ex-Atlassians, AngelList, and Shopify teammates. We believe in building beautiful, easy-to-use products that meaningfully improve how software companies showcase their product at every stage of a customer journey.

This role is hybrid-based in our San Francisco, CA office.

The Role

We are looking for a Head of Strategic Finance to partner closely with the CEO and leadership team in shaping our financial strategy and operational decision-making. You will be both the architect of scalable financial systems and a hands-on operator who digs into the details. This is a high-impact role that touches every part of the business: from long-term planning and fundraising to GTM metrics, pricing strategy, and board communications.

What You’ll Do

Financial Planning & Strategy

  • Build and own the company’s financial model (ARR, bookings, churn, pipeline, cash flow).

  • Lead strategic planning, scenario modeling, and long-term forecasting. Understand and analyze the levers that drive Arcade's long-term financial trajectory.

  • Partner with CEO on capital strategy, fundraising prep, and investor relations.

Business Partnering

  • Work with Sales, Marketing, and Product to tie spend to outcomes and optimize ROI.

  • Build pricing and packaging models, supporting customer negotiations as needed.

  • Establish KPI dashboards to track company performance across functions.

Board & Investor Relations

  • Prepare board decks, investor updates, and fundraising materials with clear financial narratives.

  • Own readiness and reporting for Series B fundraise.

  • Own investor diligence materials and ensure data integrity.

  • Support CEO in external financial conversations with investors and advisors.

Operational Finance

  • Oversee monthly and quarterly reporting, budget vs. actuals, and key SaaS metrics.

  • Partner with accounting (currently outsourced) to ensure accurate close and compliance.

  • Introduce scalable finance processes, systems, and controls as the company grows.

Who you are

  • 7–12 years of experience in finance (startup finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, PE/VC portfolio ops).

  • Proven ability to build and manage detailed SaaS financial models.

  • Experience partnering with executives and boards; strong executive communication skills.

  • Fundraising or investor relations exposure (Series A–C experience ideal).

  • Data-driven, analytical, and able to zoom between detail and strategy.

  • Comfortable in high-growth, ambiguous startup environments; thrives as a “builder.”

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity

  • Unlimited PTO and sick days

  • 401k, and top tier Health, Dental and Vision insurance

  • $500 a month remote work stipend

  • Meeting light culture

  • Biannual company retreats

  • Latest productivity software such as Notion, Linear and Superhuman

  • A team that values diversity and inclusion

Compensation

  • $168-$250k per year, plus meaningful equity

Our values

  • Be a coach: We want the best for our customers and ourselves. We coach people to help them achieve their best potential. An “Arcader” is both a teammate and a customer. There is a reason that the same word describes both.

  • Carry the weight: We are owners. Let’s empower each other. When we see something that needs change, we lead through it.

  • An open book: We are open as a team and as a product. We don’t put walls up unless it’s necessary. We become better when we share information. We are open to diversity of opinion, backgrounds, and thought.

  • Play as a team: We play because we’re a creator tool. Life is short. Let’s build something meaningful. We play as a team because great teams build great things together. We keep those standards high.

  • Be kind: We can be honest and kind. We can have high standards and be kind. We can say no and be kind. Kindness can vary across cultures, upbringings, and languages - but we try our best to be kind.
