Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution, transforming a 30-minute end-to-end experience that saves teams 20–40 hours and up to $30K per leave. Headquartered in San Francisco with a fully remote team, Sparrow is a diverse, mission-driven company solving real problems.
About The Team And Role
You’ll be Sparrow’s first Strategic Finance hire, reporting directly to the CFO. This opportunity involves building the finance function from scratch, owning models and analyses that drive real decisions, and partnering directly with the CFO on strategy while independently owning execution. You’ll have real influence on how this function scales as Sparrow grows.
What You'll Do
Own all financial models, including the operating model, headcount model, and other models that set goals and measure business performance across the company.
Build the next-generation Strategic Finance function by developing AI-powered workflows, automated analyses, and intelligence systems that redefine what a small strategic finance team can achieve.
Assess and define existing and potential future strategic priorities, quantitatively validating and driving influence toward the highest revenue impact and ROI initiatives.
Deliver data-driven insights and recommendations that inform go-to-market tactics, product decisions, budget allocations, Board of Directors and investor materials, leadership reporting, and other cross-functional roadmaps.
Collaborate with cross-functional partners across Sales, Engineering, Product, Operations, and Leadership.
Contribute to long-range, annual, and quarterly planning processes, including the strategic plan that positions Sparrow to accomplish its goals.
What You Bring
3–5 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or in-house FP&A or strategic finance. Experience with consumption-based or usage-based business models is a meaningful plus.
Expert-level modeling ability, translating complex business drivers into clear, usable frameworks without hand-holding.
You’ve built something with AI, a model, a workflow, or automated analysis, and you’re eager to do more of it. You see AI as core to how a modern finance function operates, not a novelty.
You identify problems before they’re handed to you, and you thrive when the answer isn’t obvious.
An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.
Comfortable being the only one in the room who does this. There’s no existing Strategic Finance team to lean on yet; you’re helping to build the first version.
