About the role

As Strategic Finance & Operations Lead, you'll sit at the intersection of revenue, go-to-market, and financial strategy — owning the financial models, pricing frameworks, and operational processes that power Fireworks' commercial engine. This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role that works directly with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Engineering leaders to drive deals forward and help the business scale intelligently.

What they're looking for

  • A structured thinker who moves fast. You can build a rigorous model from scratch and ship it before the week is over
  • A cross-functional operator. You're equally comfortable in a product roadmap discussion, a sales deal review, and a finance close meeting — and you know how to earn trust across each
  • A business partner, not a scorekeeper. You don't just report what happened, you help shape what happens next
  • Detail-obsessed but never lost in the weeds. You hold yourself to a high standard of accuracy and can also zoom out to tell the story behind the numbers
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. Fireworks is scaling fast. You'll build processes and frameworks where none currently exist
  • 4+ years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, or management consulting
