Vice President of Strategic Finance

Role Description

Interplay Learning is experiencing an exciting stage of growth, and we're looking for a Vice President of Strategic Finance to help shape the next chapter of our business. This is a highly strategic leadership role responsible for building the financial planning, treasury, and strategic finance capabilities needed to support a rapidly scaling SaaS company.

As we continue to grow, so does the complexity of our business—from forecasting and budgeting to cash flow management, capital planning, investor reporting, and long-term financial strategy. We need a finance leader who can bring clarity to complexity, translate data into actionable insights, and partner closely with the executive team to guide critical business decisions.

Reporting to the CFO, you'll own Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), treasury, and strategic finance while partnering closely with our Controller, who leads accounting, financial reporting, and compliance. Your focus will be on the future—developing scalable financial models, optimizing cash and capital, measuring business performance, and providing the executive team and Board with the insights and confidence needed to make smart investment decisions.

If you enjoy building, influencing strategy, and helping a mission-driven company scale with discipline, we'd love to meet you.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, treasury, strategic finance, or corporate finance.
• 5+ years in a VP, Senior Director, or equivalent leadership role.
• Experience leading finance within a private equity- or venture-backed SaaS company with recurring revenue, ideally in the $50M–$150M ARR/revenue range.
• Deep understanding of SaaS business models, including subscription, usage-based, professional services, and other recurring revenue streams.
• Expertise in financial modeling and revenue planning.
• Hands-on experience with treasury management, including cash flow forecasting, liquidity planning, debt facilities, covenant compliance, banking relationships, and working capital optimization.
• Expertise in financial planning, driver-based modeling, scenario analysis, and executive decision support.
• Experience building executive and board reporting around SaaS metrics including ARR, CARR, EBITDA, NDR, GDR, LTV/CAC, unit economics, and other key business KPIs.
• Advanced proficiency with modern finance technology, including FP&A platforms, ERP systems, and business intelligence tools.
• NetSuite experience preferred.
• Track record of building, leading, and developing high-performing FP&A or strategic finance teams.
• Exceptional analytical, strategic, and problem-solving skills.
• CPA, MBA, or CFA preferred, but not required.
• Demonstrated financial acumen and business judgment are valued more than credentials alone.
• Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States for any employer without stipulations and be residents of the United States.

Requirements

• Partner directly with the CFO to shape financial strategy and business growth.
• Build and scale the finance function at a high-growth SaaS company.
• Lead high-impact initiatives across FP&A, treasury, and strategic finance.
• Make a meaningful impact at a mission-driven company transforming skilled trades education.

• Offices in Austin, TX; Deer Park, TX; Woodland, WA; and Cleveland, OH.
• Annual learning reimbursement.
