Datapeople Looking for Vice President of Finance and Operations at Chicago, IL Full Time

Datapeople helps recruiting teams make more thoughtful and accurate decisions about their recruiting process, from the job posts they write to the data they report on. We know that small changes can have big impacts and while we’re very happy to serve some of the most forward-thinking talent teams on the planet including Twitch, BuzzFeed, and Oscar Health, at the heart of our mission is an absolute love for candidates and empathy for the challenges they face when trying to get a job.

You’ll help stand up different sub-departments including business operations and revenue operations.

Build an operations and analytics team to support a hyper-scaling business

Analyze, report, and translate financial data and performance, giving guidance on opportunities and risks affecting business performance based on the interpreted results and variances

Support adherence and tracking around cash flow management and business expenditure

Manage internal controls, policies, and procedures around financial operations. Lead important initiatives to continuously improve and automate these processes

Work closely with the CEO to support creation of board and investor materials, fundraising, and due diligence processes

You have:
10+ years of finance and operational finance experience including leadership roles

Experience at venture-backed startups
