Founding Strategy & Finance Lead

We’re hiring a Founding Strategy & Finance Lead to help us operationalize the financial and strategic backbone of Ekho as we scale. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role that sits at the intersection of finance, operations, and GTM—ideal for a sharp thinker who thrives in ambiguity and wants to help build the engine of a generational company.

Position Overview

You’ll work directly with our CEO and play a foundational role in shaping how we track performance, model the business, and execute complex projects that don’t fit neatly into any one function. You’ll own internal financial modeling, help prepare materials for our board and investors, drive operational automation across sales and CS, and lead high-stakes projects that span regulation, product, and GTM.

We’re looking for a scrappy, analytical generalist with deep finance skills, a builder’s mindset, and strong opinions on how to make systems work better. You should be just as comfortable in Excel as you are cold-calling a state agency or spinning up a go-to-market automation tool.

Required Skills & Experience

• 2–5+ years in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or strategy/finance at a high-growth startup

• Proven experience building detailed operating models and presenting insights to senior stakeholders

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong bias for action

• Outstanding written communication and deck-building skills

• High agency, comfort with ambiguity, and a founder-like mentality

• Experience working cross-functionally with GTM and product teams

• Strong proficiency with Excel/Sheets; comfort with SQL, Notion, or automation tools is a plus

Responsibilities

• Own and improve Ekho’s financial models, including revenue forecasting, scenario analysis, and customer-level reporting

• Build monthly investor and board updates alongside the CEO

• Lead strategic projects across the business—whether that’s scoping a new pricing model, navigating a regulatory hurdle, or standing up a new function

• Help automate and scale internal workflows across sales, success, and finance

• Track and report KPIs across departments to ensure operational accountability

• Work directly with the CEO on investor relations, fundraising materials, and internal OKR tracking

• Serve as a utility player for high-priority initiatives that don’t have a clear owner elsewhere on the team

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience in venture-backed or fast-scaling startups

• Familiarity with HubSpot, Looker, or similar tools

• Technical or product curiosity—bonus points for light coding or systems thinking

• A passion for vehicles, marketplaces, or enabling the future of commerce

• Desire to grow into a senior operating or finance leadership role

Company Benefits

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity

• Health, dental

• 401k

• Free lunch and dinners

• Annual team offsite
