You'll run the monthly budget vs. actuals review, maintain the operating model with our VP Finance, and be the analytical partner leadership leans on for pricing and incentive decisions. You'll report to our VP Finance and work closely with our accounting team.\nThis is a builder role. Marketplace economics are more interesting than a standard SaaS P&L - take rates, recruiter supply, roles posted, time-to-hire, and placement timing all drive revenue - and you'll build the analysis the company runs on.\nWhat you'll do\nMaintain the operating model with the VP Finance. Keep the drivers current - revenue, GMV, headcount, OpEx - and support the annual plan and quarterly reforecasts.\n\nModel marketplace levers. Recruiter incentives and retainers, pricing and take rate, and fee structures - build the analysis behind each decision and track what happens after it ships.\n\nOwn unit economics. GMV, net revenue, take rate, recruiter payouts, cohort behavior, LTV:CAC, and payback - the numbers leadership makes pricing and incentive calls on.\n\nRun budget vs. actuals. Monthly BvA and department-level flux review with our accounting team, with clear variance explanations for leadership.\n\nBuild the metrics layer. Partner with RevOps and BizOps to define metrics and build the dashboards leadership uses every week.\n\nAutomate with AI. We use AI heavily across the company and expect finance to as well - recurring reporting shouldn't be manual.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n3-5 years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, PE, or top-tier consulting, with at least 1-2 years building models an operating team actually used.\n\nExpert spreadsheet modeling - three-statement, driver-based forecasts, and scenario analysis.\n\nComfortable presenting numbers to executives and turning an ambiguous question into a clear answer.\n\nHigh ownership, low ego, and fast. Your work goes straight to the exec team and board.\n\nBonus: experience at a marketplace, fintech, or usage-based business; a Series B-C fundraise; hands-on with a planning tool (Pigment, Anaplan) or SQL/BI (Metabase, Looker).\n\nThe ideal candidate brings\nExperience in multi-sided / marketplace businesses\n\nHas owned analysis of a marketing subsidy or incentive program\n\nHas built the take-rate or pricing model at a marketplace and defended it to leadership\n\nHas run a monthly BvA where department leads had to explain their variances to them\n\nHas worked from raw transaction data (SQL or exports), not just a finance system's outputs\n\nHas gone through a raise on the company side: model, data room, diligence questions\n\nAbout Paraform\nParaform is the first end-to-end AI recruiting marketplace, modernizing one of the largest and most fragmented markets in the world: hiring. We connect companies with thousands of specialized recruiters and AI agents that work together to fill roles faster and more accurately.\nWe believe recruiting works best when human judgment is paired with AI that truly understands hiring. That's why we treat recruiters like entrepreneurs, not vendors, and build the financial, operational, and technical infrastructure that powers their success.\nIndustry leaders like Decagon, Palantir, Rippling, Abridge, and Hightouch hire through Paraform, and we grew revenue 8× last year. We're backed by Scale, Felicis, A*, BOND, Liquid 2, DST Global, and the founders of YouTube, Instacart, Canva, and more.\nOur mission is to make hiring fast, reliable, and scalable for every company in the world.
