About the Role

Slash is building the banking platform for the internet's most ambitious entrepreneurs. We power >$10B in payments per year and are the fastest growing neobank in the U.S. Our small but extremely high output team has raised $60m from Goodwater, NEA, Menlo, YC, and other amazing investors.

We're looking for a Head of Finance and Strategy to build, scale, and professionalize the finance function at Slash. This is a career-defining role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of high-growth fintech and disciplined financial strategy.

What You'll Do

Financial Strategy & Analysis

• Own company-wide financial modeling, scenario planning, and KPI reporting.
• Develop and refine cohort analysis, payback periods, unit economics, and margin optimization.
• Partner with product and growth teams to evaluate ROI on initiatives, customer acquisition costs, and retention drivers.

Operational Finance & Controls

• Design scalable financial systems, reporting processes, and internal controls.
• Build forecasting models that align with regulatory, banking, and investor expectations.
• Prepare investor-ready dashboards and board materials with precision and speed.

Strategic Projects

• Drive capital allocation decisions, pricing strategies, and margin improvement projects.
• Support fundraising and M&A opportunities with rigorous analysis and due diligence.
• Serve as a key counterpart to banking partners, auditors, and investors.

Team & Leadership

• Build and lead a small but world-class finance team over time.
• Establish Slash's finance culture: disciplined, data-driven, and analytical at the core.

What We're Looking For

Background

• 5–10+ years in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, or fintech finance.
• Experience at a top bank, growth investing firm, or in a growth-stage startup finance team preferred.

Skills

• Absolute mastery of Excel / financial modeling (you live in cohorts, LTV/CAC, and payback math).
• Strong analytical and quantitative chops—you see the story in the numbers.
• Comfort with ambiguity, speed, and zero-margin-for-error execution.
• Deep understanding of unit economics in fintech, banking, or payments.

Mindset

• Builder mentality: not just maintaining finance, but creating it from scratch.
• Ambitious: you have an owner mentality and get excited at the idea of building a massive business.
• Relentless precision: you check the math twice and call out sloppy thinking.

Why Join Slash?

• Work directly with the CEO and leadership team on high-leverage finance projects.
• Shape the trajectory of a $370M-valued fintech on its way to becoming a category leader.
• Ownership and upside: significant equity, real responsibility.
