Strategic Finance Analyst

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

We are looking for a high-caliber Strategic Finance Analyst to help us understand our business at a deeper level and make better decisions faster. This is not a reporting role. You will own the financial model, KPI infrastructure, and performance insights, working directly with the Head of Finance as a thought partner. You will take ideas and strategy and turn them into numbers, and you will bring your own ideas to the table. If you are excited by ambiguity, want real ownership, and care about impact more than polish, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

Own the Financial Model

• Build, maintain, and evolve operating and cash flow models

• Translate strategy into scenarios such as pricing, headcount, and GTM changes

• Stress-test assumptions and surface risks and opportunities early

• Continuously improve models as the business evolves

Build and Run KPI Dashboards

• Define and own core business and sales KPIs

• Build dashboards that leadership actually uses

• Partner with Sales, Ops, and Finance to ensure metrics are accurate and actionable

• Iterate when metrics are not driving decisions

Generate Business and Sales Insights

• Analyze revenue, pipeline, sales efficiency, and unit economics

• Deliver regular insights on what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do next

• Surface trends and issues proactively before they appear in results

• Support ad hoc analysis tied to real business decisions

Be a Thought Partner

• Work closely with the Head of Finance on strategic questions

• Bring hypotheses and perspectives backed by data

• Challenge assumptions constructively

• Help leadership make tradeoffs across growth, efficiency, and cash

Skills and qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field from a top-tier university

• 5+ years of experience as a Finance Analyst or in a similar role

• Background in consulting and/or operating within a successful startup environment

• Exposure to sales, revenue, or GTM metrics

• Strong bias for action with a proven track record of delivering results on aggressive timelines

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

• Resilient in high-pressure, fast-paced settings; comfortable working with ambiguity and imperfect data

• Decision-oriented mindset focused on outcomes, not just reporting

• Ability to work in an onsite environment - we move faster when we’re in the same room

Technical Skills

• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills

• Experience with BI tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI is a plus but not required

What this role is not:

• Not a pure reporting or variance analysis role

• Not a large company FP&A role with rigid processes

• Not a role where you wait to be told what to analyze

Why you will love this role:

• Direct exposure to leadership and decision-making

• Real ownership from day one

• A steep learning curve with a clear growth path

• A chance to shape how finance and analytics operate at the company

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation package

• 100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance

• Flexible paid time off and paid holidays

• 401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options

• Equity in a rapidly growing company

• Referral bonuses

• Daily team dinners and regular team off-sites

• The latest Apple tech and unlimited tools so you can win
