Head of Finance

Healthcare is a $4+ trillion industry in the U.S. alone, and it’s undergoing a rapid digital transformation.

Hospitals, digital health companies, and life sciences organizations rely on analytics and advertising tools to reach patients, measure performance, and grow. But those tools weren’t built for regulated healthcare data. That creates real compliance risk and forces teams to choose between growth and privacy.

We’re a privacy-first data platform that helps healthcare organizations use modern marketing and analytics tools without exposing protected health information (PHI). Freshpaint sits between a company’s website or app and the third‑party tools they use, automatically detecting and controlling sensitive data before it’s shared.

In short: we let healthcare teams move fast, safely.

Freshpaint is backed by some of the most respected names in technology, including:

• Y Combinator (OpenAI, Stripe, Airbnb, Coinbase, Door Dash)

• Intel Capital (Broadcom, Astera Labs, VMware, Red Hat, MongoDB)

We’ve raised tens of millions of dollars in funding to build the privacy infrastructure layer for healthcare’s digital future.

We're looking for a hands‑on, strategic finance leader to serve as Freshpaint's Head of Finance. You've owned accounting, not just FP&A: you've run the monthly close, owned the P&L, balance sheet, cashflow and ideally taken a company through an audit. You also bring the SaaS FP&A chops and commercial instincts to be a true partner to leadership. You don't wait to be told what the business needs: you define the path, make clear recommendations on where to invest and when to pull back, and drive execution with conviction.

You're a doer who builds lean, scalable systems, thrives on turning ambiguity into structure, and is hungry to grow your visibility with our board and investors.

As Freshpaint's Head of Finance, you'll own the finance function that powers our next stage of growth. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll run day‑to‑day finance operations, from the books and monthly close to designing how we plan, budget, forecast, and measure the business. We've moved from a marketing-led to a sales‑led GTM motion, so you'll play a central role in how we invest in growth, pressure‑test our commercial economics, and manage runway.

Over time, you'll build a strong presence with our board and investors as we prepare for what's next. This is a highly visible, hands‑on role for a finance operator who wants to shape how a company runs, not just report on it.

• Own the monthly close, P&L, balance sheet, cashflow, and ensure accurate, timely financial statements.

• Maintain strong controls and audit readiness across accounting, revenue recognition, tax, and treasury.

• Manage our day‑to‑day finance team and external accounting partner, keeping the finance org lean and high‑leverage.

• Design and operationalize our financial operating model: processes, systems, reporting cadences, and budget ownership across teams.

• Own annual planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasts, with clear budget owners, org ratios, and spend guardrails.

• Build and maintain scalable, driver‑based financial models that support scenario planning, hiring plans, and long‑term strategy.

• Drive operational discipline around spend, cash flow, and runway management.

• Partner with GTM leadership on comp plans, capacity planning, pricing guardrails, and unit economics, challenging the commercial economics as we scale a sales‑led motion.

• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and exec team, giving data‑driven…
