Welcome to Fi.
We’re a passionate team from Square, Google, TikTok, Peloton, Uber, and more working to transform the human-pet relationship. Our mission? Develop cutting-edge technology to revolutionize what it means to be a pet parent. The pet industry remains firmly stuck in the past and we are here to change that. Fi is leveraging our team's talent and expertise to improve the lives of millions of pets in the U.S. Real-time location tracking, activity, sleep and behavior monitoring – and that's just the beginning.
The most exciting aspect of our work? Bridging the communication gap between pets and humans. Imagine a world where everyone knows how their pet feels in real time and how to keep their best friend in good shape. That's the future we're building at Fi.
If you're someone who thrives in innovative, collaborative work environments and feels strongly about helping pets live longer, better lives, Fi could be the perfect fit. Join us in our pursuit of the “impossible,” or as we call it here “let me find a way,” to redefine the future of pet ownership together.
Fi is looking for a Director of Strategic Finance!
Fi is looking for a Director of Strategic Finance to lead and elevate our high-performing, data-driven Strategic Finance team. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Fi scales — building the financial clarity, systems, and strategy that power our next phase of growth.
As Fi expands into new products and markets, you’ll play a pivotal role in guiding how we invest, plan, and operate. Reporting to the CFO, you’ll serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership, and ensure decisions are grounded in insight, precision, and long-term impact.
You'll combine hands-on financial excellence with visionary leadership, and drive an ambitious team to shape initiatives that will define Fi's future. If you're passionate about building scalable financial frameworks, partnering across teams to drive strategic decisions, and developing talent in a fast-growing company, this role is for you.
What You'll Do:
- Lead Strategic Finance and FP&A: Own the three-statement model, build unit economics frameworks, and lead scenario analysis that drives capital allocation decisions. Lead forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning as Fi's product ecosystem grows. Establish and track key metrics to guide performance.
- Lead and Develop the Team: Mentor a high-performing team of finance professionals responsible for strategic planning, reporting, and forecasting
- Shape Commercial Strategy: Partner with leadership on pricing strategy, and architect financial frameworks to guide go-to-market decisions. Ensure the business has a clear, data-backed view of what's working and what's next.
- Modernize and Scale Financial Intelligence: Elevate and automate financial reporting for faster and sharper insights. Build systems to scale efficiently as the company grows.
- Support Investor Relations and Financing: Support efforts around capital markets, investor relations, and financing, including the financial narrative around Fi’s performance and growth trajectory.
What You’ll Bring:
- 10+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or high-growth technology companies
- Ability to lead across a wide range of Finance functions — from fundraising and investor relations to pricing strategy, sales operations, long-range planning, FP&A, and business performance reporting.
- Deep expertise in building and managing financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis processes
- Ability to zoom in and out of business goals and financial details, translate complex models into clear narratives, and provide strategic recommendations to senior leadership
- Strong working knowledge of GAAP, advanced financial modeling, and comfort with BI and analytics platforms. Ability to build complex models and work hands-on with data.
- Experience leading small, high-impact teams and collaborating cross-functionally with executives.
- Highly efficient, self-motivated, and collaborative team player who thrives in fast-paced, scaling environments.
- Exceptional organizational and communication skills.
