## Strategic Finance Lead Sail Research Accounting & Finance San Francisco, CA, USAPosted on Jul 1, 2026

Apply nowWe're hiring a Strategic Finance Lead as our first dedicated finance hire. This is a builder's role — you're not stepping into existing systems, you're creating them.

What you’ll do:

Build and own Sail's operating P&L — the single source of truth connecting GPU cluster unit economics (cost per GPU-hour, utilization, depreciation/useful life, power costs) and how it flows down to product pricing, unit economics, and actual financial performance. Partner cross-functionally on board materials: financial modeling, data room preparation, and diligence support. Stand up Sail's first real FP&A process: budgeting and forecasting, sized appropriately for an early-stage company.

Develop the headcount and opex planning model as the team grows; own burn rate and runway tracking.

What we’re looking for:

5–8+ years in finance roles with real modeling depth (investment banking, growth/private equity, corporate development, or strategic finance/FP&A at a high-growth company). Infrastructure or capital-intensive business experience (data centers, energy, equipment leasing, or similar) is a strong plus. Genuine fluency in building financial models from scratch; comfortable building an operating P&L and pro forma model. Comfort with ambiguity and building right-sized processes.

Bonus: exposure to revenue recognition for usage-based/consumption billing, or experience inside a GPU cloud, data center, or other infrastructure-as-a-service business. Interview process:
Meet the Head of BD; meet the CEO; take-home case study; onsite interview day with case presentation; offer.
