Comun has raised +$50M from top investors including Redpoint, Costanoa Ventures, and South Park Commons. Our team brings experience from leading fintech companies like Brex, Nubank, and Mercury.\nWe believe immigrants are the ultimate entrepreneurs - driven by relentless ambition and a vision for a better future for their families. Comun exists to serve them throughout their journey.\nLearn more at comun.app/nosotros\nArticle here\nAbout the role\nWe're hiring a Strategic Finance Lead to own financial planning, treasury, and the commercial side of our vendor and banking relationships, reporting directly to the founders.\nThis is a high-autonomy role for someone who wants to operate as the finance brain of the company, not manage a large team or run accounting operations. You'll work alongside our controller (who owns accounting and close), product, and growth to drive the company to a 1x burn multiple and durable profitability. We run finance as an AI-first function - agents and automations are the default answer before headcount - and you should want to work that way too.\nWhat you'll own\nFinancial planning and analysis: The operating model, 18-month budget, monthly forecasting, and reporting to founders and the board.\n\nTreasury and cash management: Cash positioning across multiple bank accounts, credit facility management and covenant compliance, and liquidity planning, including a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast.\n\nVendor and partner negotiations: Lead commercial negotiations for key vendor contracts and banking/processing partnerships, from cost modeling through executed terms.\n\nPricing strategy: Product-level unit economics, interchange dynamics, and margin management across our card and payments products.\n\nWhere this role can grow\nOver time, this role can extend into fundraising support (materials, data room, investor analysis) and broader strategic projects with the founders.\nWhat you'll bring\n5-8 years in finance, ideally starting in investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, followed by strategic finance or FP&A at a startup.\n\nStrong financial modeling skills - you build clean, driver-based models and can defend every number in them.\n\nCommercial instincts: experience negotiating (or supporting negotiation of) vendor, partner, or banking agreements is a strong plus.\n\nComfort with ambiguity and ownership - you'd rather run a workstream end to end than execute someone else's plan.\n\nAI-fluent: you already use tools like Claude every day and have a point of view on which finance workflows should be automated next.\n\nFintech experience, particularly with card programs, sponsor banks, or payments economics, is a plus but not required.\n\nSpanish is a plus.\n\nAn interest in serving an underserved community :)\n\nWhat's not in scope\nAccounting, close, and controllership are owned by our controller. This role has no direct reports today.\nTeam\nWe are a team of 40 based out of New York, coming from industry-leading companies like Brex, Nubank, Cruise, and Verkada. Over half of us are immigrants, and have experienced the problems we’re solving first hand. We value customer focus, high ambition, principled decision-making, and deep trust.\nFull Time Employee Benefits\nCompetitive salary and generous equity\n\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance\n\nGym Pass subscription\n\nDaily office lunch in NYC Office\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nFlexible PTO\n\nRemote-friendly when traveling\n\nCompany-wide offsites\n\n401(k) for US employees\n\nVisit to our NYC Office for remote team members\n\nVisa sponsorship if applicable\n\nComún is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture that celebrates authenticity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, protected veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristics.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4547,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Parental leave","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Banks & Neobanks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T04:12:02Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":6,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.484,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":82,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/comun-strategic-finance-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/comun-strategic-finance-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T07:24:38Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9442,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674097},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674097"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcomun-strategic-finance-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcomun-strategic-finance-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcomun-strategic-finance-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/comun-strategic-finance-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcomun-strategic-finance-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":793412}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"comun.app","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":793412},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
