Director of Finance

About Vouch:

Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.

Vouch is a new, technology-first insurance company backed with $160M in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for high-growth companies.

We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our high-growth and innovative customers. Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is building new technology to solve real problems, writing policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios, and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry. 

What does a work environment look like at Vouch?

Vouch is a Virtual First Workplace with SF, Chicago, and NYC office locations. Preference is for this role to be located in San Francisco or Chicago, but consideration will be given to virtual candidates in the U.S. as long as you can work our Vouch core collaboration hours (8:30 am-2:30 pm Pacific Time.)

Role Responsibilities: 

As the Director of Finance at Vouch, you’ll have the unique opportunity to build critical financial planning and reporting processes, controls, and tools that will allow us to scale into the future. You will partner directly with cross-functional members of the leadership team to drive financial and operational decision-making.

The ideal candidate is someone who loves a challenge; who can pick up unstructured tasks or projects and run with them to completion. Prior insurance or fintech experience is preferred but not required; someone with the drive to learn a new industry would be a great asset and contribute a unique perspective.

• Own and enhance the monthly management reporting framework to measure, monitor, and analyze financial results, including creating and enhancing relevant KPIs
• Recommend and implement process improvements that drive operating leverage across the company
• Partner with the leadership team to conduct ad hoc quantitative analyses to support critical initiatives
• Collaborate with the data analytics and engineering teams to ensure complete and accurate operational data collection and reporting that aligns to financial processes

About You: 

• Current financial professional with 10+ years of experience in corporate financial planning & analysis, strategic finance, investment banking, or strategy consulting
• High integrity and collaborative working style
• Excellent financial modeling, Microsoft Excel, and data analytics skills
• Strong detail- and results-orientation
• Ability to work without direct supervision and efficiently manage tasks and meet deadlines
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Bachelor’s degree

Nice to have:

• Experience in a fast-paced start-up or high-growth environment 
• Experience with insurance or fintech business models

Salary Range: 

The pay range for this role is: $190,000 to $215,000 total OTE per year.
