About this role
Checkr's Financial Planning & Strategy team is seeking a senior finance leader to own go-to-market strategy and execution across their Enterprise and Mid-Market businesses. You'd be the primary financial partner to Sales, Account Management, Customer Success, and Marketing executives, translating business performance into actionable insights that drive top-line growth. This is a highly visible role with direct collaboration on strategic decisions and regular engagement with the executive team.
The position demands someone with 8+ years of progressive finance experience, including at least 4 years focused on sales, ideally from investment banking, private equity, or consulting backgrounds. You'll need expert-level modeling skills, hands-on experience with Salesforce and BI tools, and a proven ability to drive measurable business outcomes through financial analysis rather than just reporting. Experience with consumption-based models and demonstrated success in sales strategy and performance management are meaningful advantages.
Beyond traditional financial planning, this role emphasizes building AI-powered workflows and automated analyses to redefine what a strategic finance team can deliver. You'll own significant portions of long-range and annual planning, develop frameworks for evaluating sales efficiency, and mentor a growing analyst. The ideal candidate combines strong executive presence with an A-player mindset—someone who identifies problems proactively, moves with urgency, and sees AI as foundational to modern finance operations rather than a novelty. The role is remote but expects 3+ days weekly in one of Checkr's hub locations (San Francisco, Denver, Nashville, or Santiago).
