Head of Strategy and Finance

About Abode Money

Abode Money is the first‑ever AI financial home manager, using AI to save homeowners on property taxes, insurance, mortgage and more. Homeowners spend $2T+ per year on their home. Not only is it difficult to buy a home today, but it's become just as challenging to continue owning your home. We're going to be the first to create a relationship with 80M+ homeowners in the US by saving them money year after year.

We've raised $23M from Permanent Capital, Drive Capital, Sequoia, Core VC and The 81 Collection.

We're hiring a Head of Strategy and Finance to work directly with the CEO on the company's biggest financial and strategic questions. We're adding products, channels, and lines of business faster than we can build the financial rigor to evaluate them. Your job is to take the hardest open strategic or financial question on the list and come back with a model, a recommendation, or a business.

The work falls into three buckets. Hard problems: how do we build out a last-mile contractor network, who's the right person to build our brand, where are we falling short with users. New initiatives: a nationwide insurance brokerage, a PMI roll-off product, an out-of-home ambassador program. Those are live, not hypotheticals. And CFO+ responsibilities: our outsourced controller and bookkeeping, the budget, KPIs, actuals against projections, and working with in-house and outside counsel.

Filing in all 50 states means we operate under thousands of separate regulatory regimes, and we resource it accordingly: in-house counsel, outside counsel at a top-tier firm, standing relationships with county assessors and state agencies, policy work in our largest markets, and compliance diligence with the banks and credit unions who distribute us. You'll be in that work.

You reach for the data before the opinion, and you can turn an ambiguous question into a recommendation someone can act on. That rigor is why we're hiring you, more than any single domain. Use AI to move faster on the analysis, modeling, and research.

You'll see every function, own real P&L decisions, sit in board and investor conversations, and stand up businesses from zero. Several of them will outgrow you and get their own leader, which is the point. The people who do this job well go on to start something or run a function somewhere serious, and we'd rather have that person for a great two or three years than someone looking to settle in.
