Operational Finance
Oversee monthly and quarterly reporting, budget vs. actuals, and key SaaS metrics.
Partner with accounting (currently outsourced) to ensure accurate close and compliance.
Introduce scalable finance processes, systems, and controls as the company grows.
7–12 years of experience in finance (startup finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, PE/VC portfolio ops).
Proven ability to build and manage detailed SaaS financial models.
Experience partnering with executives and boards; strong executive communication skills.
Fundraising or investor relations exposure (Series A–C experience ideal).
Data-driven, analytical, and able to zoom between detail and strategy.
Comfortable in high-growth, ambiguous startup environments; thrives as a “builder.”
Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
Unlimited PTO and sick days.
401k, and top tier Health, Dental and Vision insurance.
Monthly remote work stipend.
Meeting light culture.
Biannual company retreats (we just went to Mexico City!)

$168,000 - $250,000 per year, plus meaningful equity
Be a coach: We want the best for our customers and ourselves. We coach people to help them achieve their best potential. An “Arcader” is both a teammate and a customer. There is a reason that the same word describes both.
Carry the weight: We are owners. Let’s empower each other. When we see something that needs change, we lead through it.
An open book: We are open as a team and as a product. We don’t put walls up unless it’s necessary. We become better when we share information. We are open to diversity of opinion, backgrounds, and thought.
Play as a team: We play because we’re a creator tool. Life is short. Let’s build something meaningful. We play as a team because great teams build great things together. We keep those standards high.
Be kind: We can be honest and kind. We can have high standards and be kind. We can say no and be kind. Kindness can vary across cultures, upbringings, and languages - but we try our best to be kind.
Arcade is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
