The Role

We are seeking a strategic, hands‑on Senior Director of Finance to lead Aspire's Finance organization and serve as a key member of the executive leadership team. This role will oversee Finance and Revenue Operations / Deal Desk, building scalable financial foundations while partnering closely with the executive team to drive strategy, operational excellence, and business performance.

Financial Leadership & Strategy

  • Lead Aspire's Finance and Revenue Operations / Deal Desk functions, fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with the executive team on strategic planning, capital allocation, and overall business performance.
  • Drive company‑wide alignment on financial targets and priorities, ensuring decisions are grounded in data and clear ROI.
  • Own Board communications, including financial materials and participation in high‑level strategic discussions.
  • Provide financial analysis and diligence for strategic initiatives, partnerships, and growth investments.

Cross‑Functional Business Partnership

  • Serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner across all major business areas, connecting Finance with operational execution, customer impact, and growth objectives.
  • Collaborate with leaders to optimize investments, headcount, and spend, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently and in line with company priorities.
  • Partner across go‑to‑market, product, and customer functions to improve visibility into performance, retention, and revenue predictability.
  • Own company‑wide revenue and operational forecasting, incorporating SaaS metrics and activity‑level performance data (e.g., pipeline activity, product usage, client delivery metrics) to link daily execution with financial outcomes.

    • Financial Planning, Forecasting & Operations

  • Own the financial planning process, including budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning.
  • Develop and maintain financial forecasts in partnership with business leaders, ensuring accuracy and accountability.
  • Oversee working capital management and cash flow forecasting to maintain financial visibility and discipline.
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, maintaining accuracy and integrity across all reporting.

    • Financial Reporting, Metrics, Insights & Business Impact

  • Build scalable systems and reporting frameworks that deliver clear visibility into budgets, forecasts, and key financial indicators.
  • Translate financial data into actionable insights that guide prioritization, trade‑offs, and strategic decisions.
  • Act as a communication hub, equipping teams with the financial visibility they need to make effective decisions.
  • Define and monitor KPIs to assess company health, efficiency, and growth drivers.
  • Maintain awareness of key performance trends and market dynamics influencing business results.
  • Use data‑driven insights to connect operational activity to financial outcomes.

    • What We're Looking For

  • 8‑12+ years of progressive experience in finance leadership roles, including ownership of Finance and Financial Operations.
  • Proven success in high‑growth SaaS or technology environments, ideally through rapid scale or new‑market expansion.
  • Strong analytical and strategic mindset with a hands‑on approach to execution.
  • Deep understanding of SaaS metrics, unit economics, and operational performance drivers.
  • Expert‑level financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills.
  • Understanding of fundamental accounting concepts.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and align cross‑functional stakeholders.
  • Experience in fundraising and investor relations preferred.
  • Proficiency in NetSuite and Salesforce a plus; advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills required.
