Lead, Strategic Finance

The Role

You'll be finance hire #1 at Comfy.

Comfy is growing fast: 4 million users, a fast-scaling cloud business, and a fresh $30M raise. So far we've run finance out of spreadsheets, outsourced bookkeeping, and founder intuition. That's no longer enough.

As our Lead, Strategic Finance, you'll be the first finance hire and the person who builds the analytical backbone of the company. You'll own the financial model, the planning process, and the unit economics of a compute-heavy AI business — and you'll roll up your sleeves on the operational finance basics too.

This is a hands-on, builder's role. You won't inherit a model or a playbook — you'll build them from a blank page. You'll live in the data, turn it into decisions the founders actually use, and bring financial rigor to a team that has been moving on instinct. It's a rare chance to own finance end-to-end early, with a clear path to grow as the function (and your scope) scales beneath you.

Live in the data: Pull your own numbers, build KPI dashboards, and turn messy data into clean insight. You won't wait for someone to hand you a report — you'll build it.

Model the big decisions: Build scenarios for pricing, hiring, compute spend, and new bets so the team can see the financial consequences before committing.

Support fundraising and the board: Help build investor and board materials, own key metrics, and assemble the analysis behind the com...
