Vice President, Finance

Location: Bay Area, California (San Mateo)

Work Type: Hybrid (1-2 days per week) 

Narvar is growing! We are looking for a tech-forward VP of Finance to serve as a strategic architect for our financial operations. This is a high-impact role designed for a self-starter who prefers running a lean, elite operation over managing a large team. You will be the right hand to our CFO, taking full ownership of our financial engine and preparing the organization for the next steps in our growth.  

Day-today

• Strategic FP&A Ownership: Fully own forecasting, budgeting, and long-range modeling. Your goal is to provide the CFO with "push-button" visibility into the health of our SaaS, and transactional revenue, along with key financial and business metrics.
• M&A Strategy & Benchmarking: Drive financial due diligence and valuation for M&A activity. You will build and maintain the benchmarking frameworks we use to evaluate potential targets.
• Finance Systems & AI Transformation: This is not a maintenance role — you will be the architect of our next-generation finance stack. Lead the evaluation, selection, and implementation of modern FP&A tooling. Embed AI and automation across budgeting, forecasting, and close workflows to eliminate manual effort and improve decision velocity. 
• Lean Financial Operations: Oversee the monthly close process with high integrity and speed. Set the standard for accuracy, cycle-time reduction, and process discipline across the finance function.
• Board-Level Narratives: Produce high-impact Board decks and financial presentations. You must be able to translate complex data into a clear, compelling story. 
• The Connective Tissue: Partner daily with Rev Ops, Deal Desk, and Executives leadership to ensure financial alignment across the company.

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership, with deep expertise in SaaS unit economics and revenue growth.
• Mastery of FP&A & Modeling: Proven ability to build complex, 3-statement models and long-range plans from scratch.
• M&A Track Record: Direct experience in the full M&A lifecycle, specifically in benchmarking targets and conducting financial due diligence.
• AI & Tech Forward: A track record of leveraging AI and automation to overhaul budgeting processes and streamline the monthly close.
• The "Player/Coach" DNA: A self-starter who thrives in agile environments and prefers scaling through technology and process over large headcounts.
• Strategic Partner: Exceptional communication skills with experience producing Board-level narratives and partnering with Executive stakeholders. 
• Education: Bachelor’s in Finance, Accounting, or Economics; MBA or CPA preferred.
