About Warp

Warp is the AI-native employee management platform for high-growth companies. Payroll, compliance, and benefits that scale from 10 to 1000+ employees—all on autopilot. Backed by Battery and Y Combinator.

About the role

We're hiring a Head of Finance to build and own the financial engine of a company scaling revenue to $50M+. You'll be the CEO's primary partner on strategic finance: the operating model, board and investor reporting, unit economics, and the capital decisions that come with an $85M-raised, money-moving business. You'll start hands-on and build the team beneath you over time. Own the financial model and forecast. Turn the charter's revenue trajectory into a plan the company runs against and a model the board trusts.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in finance, including ownership of FP&A and board reporting at a high-growth startup
  • Deep FP&A and strategic finance ability. You can build a model yourself from scratch and defend all assumptions to a board
  • You are fluent in SaaS metrics, and ideally fintech or payments economics: float, money movement, and multi-product ARPU
  • You've partnered directly with a founder or CEO to make decisions and build
  • You can be hands-on now, and a team-builder later. No task is beneath our leadership at this stage
More about this role

Warp is the AI-native Employee Management Platform for ambitious companies. HRIS, payroll, benefits, IT, tax compliance, and more, all built from scratch on one AI-native platform.

Every company runs on its people, and the software that manages them is some of the oldest in the enterprise. Incumbents like ADP and Workday built their businesses on complexity and large ops teams. Warp is built for AI to be the primary operator. Every advance in LLM capability widens our lead.

We process $X billion in annual payments for high-growth companies across all 50 US states + globally.

We've raised $85M from Battery Ventures, Sapphire Ventures, Peak XV, Sound Ventures (Ashton Kutcher), and Y Combinator, alongside operators including Tobi Lütke (Shopify), Claire Hughes Johnson (Stripe), and the founders of Dropbox and Replit. Our team comes from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Gusto, Rippling, and more.

We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. If you want to automate an entire category of work that every company depends on, this is the place.
