The Role
As Director of Strategic Finance for GTM, you'll be the embedded financial partner for Pantheon's entire go-to-market engine — Marketing, Sales (AEs and BDRs), and Post-Sales (Customer Success, Support, and Professional Services). You'll sit at the intersection of business strategy and financial rigor, translating operational complexity into clear financial models, actionable insights, and well-reasoned recommendations that drive revenue growth and efficient scaling.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a high-visibility, high-impact role. You'll work directly with GTM leaders to shape strategy, own the financial planning process across the customer lifecycle, and build the frameworks that help Pantheon invest wisely as we grow.
What You'll Do
Strategic Financial Partnership

Marketing Finance
- Serve as the dedicated finance partner for the Marketing organization, owning budget management, monthly actuals review, and reforecasting across all marketing spend
- Build and maintain Marketing efficiency models — tracking CAC by channel, demand gen ROI, pipeline contribution, and spend-to-pipeline ratios to inform investment decisions
- Partner with Marketing leadership on annual planning, including headcount, program spend, and event budgets, ensuring Marketing investments are tied to measurable pipeline and revenue outcomes
- Evaluate new marketing investments and campaigns with a rigorous cost-benefit lens, and provide ongoing performance reporting to drive accountability
- Design and deliver executive-ready reporting on GTM performance — ARR, pipeline coverage, CAC, LTV, payback periods, NRR, logo retention, and contribution margin by segment and channel
- Identify trends, risks, and opportunities in the business and proactively surface them to leadership with a clear point of view
- Build and maintain dashboards in partnership with Revenue Operations and Data/Analytics teams
Sales Compensation
- Own the end-to-end sales compensation process for AEs, BDRs, and CSMs — including plan design (building plans competitive, financially sustainable, and tightly aligned to Pantheon's revenue objectives and GTM motion), financial modeling, and automation of day-to-day administration
- Model the financial impact of comp plan changes, quota adjustments, and accelerator structures, ensuring plans are both motivating and within budget guardrails
- Partner closely with Revenue Operations and HR as core stakeholders in the comp process ensuring seamless execution across all three functions
- Build a scalable process to a
