Strategic Finance Lead

About the Role

Nourish is looking for a Strategic Finance Lead to be a core part of our financial planning function and serve as a thought partner to the business. This is a high-ownership role with real scope from day one — you'll work closely on our planning and forecasting processes, own key parts of the corporate operating model, and partner with the CFO, Senior Director of Strategic Finance, and executive team on performance and strategic direction.

This person will report into our Senior Director of Strategic Finance.

This role is full-time and open to NYC-based candidates only (expectation to work in-person 3-4 days per week, with some remote flexibility). Our office is located in Gramercy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own key sections of the 3-statement corporate operating model — maintaining accuracy and running core aspects of the planning and forecasting process (annual operating plan, rolling forecasts, long-range planning)
• Drive and maintain our KPI framework — building cohort models and tracking key metrics across retention, LTV, payback, and margins to sharpen financial performance
• Build and support our financial reporting cadence — weekly, monthly, and quarterly packages for the exec team, board, and investors that go beyond the numbers to drive decisions
• Drive G&A and headcount cost forecasting and reporting — partnering with department heads to build accurate forecasts, surface risks early, and identify opportunities to optimize spend
• Serve as a key finance business partner across the organization, driving smarter investment decisions and strategies to optimize cost, improve unit economics, and accelerate growth
• Support ad hoc strategic work — capital raises, M&A, and other high-impact initiatives
• Drive improvement and automation across our finance systems and processes — leveraging AI and planning software where it adds value to improve forecasting accuracy, decision speed, and how insights are delivered to the business

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You have 4-7 years of Strategic Finance, FP&A, or Corporate Finance experience at a high-growth company, with a background in investment banking, consulting, or M&A transaction services
• You have demonstrated experience building and owning 3-statement corporate financial models from the ground up
• You're comfortable operating across the full planning cycle — annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, and performance reporting
• You have strong business partnering instincts — you build trust across functions, facilitate difficult conversations, and distill complexity into clear narratives that drive decisions
• You're an expert in Excel / Google Sheets with strong accounting fundamentals
• You're highly process-driven and technically curious — comfortable working across data and reporting tools to automate workflows, and genuinely excited about how AI is reshaping finance
• You're an owner — proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment
• You're highly fluent in AI, data, and modern tooling — comfortable leveraging AI workflows, vibe coding lightweight solutions, and working hands-on with data to improve decision-making, automate analysis, and scale finance operations efficiently
