Baseten Strategic Finance role at Baseten focused on financial modeling, business partnership, and strategic decision-making for a fast-growing AI company. Responsibilities include pricing, unit economics, and investor relations.
Responsibilities
We're building a high-performing strategic finance team and looking for exceptional people at every level, from strong individual contributors to senior finance leaders ready to build and lead teams. Our revenue scales with customer usage, our costs scale with GPU capacity we commit to ahead of demand, and both move faster than any annual plan. That makes growth, portfolio construction, pricing, margin, and compute capacity decisions business model decisions. You'll sit at the center of them, working directly with Finance leadership and the executives who run the business to shape the company's trajectory.
This posting is intentionally broad within strategic finance. We'll match your scope and title to your experience and interest. We are looking for both specialists and generalists. The common thread is ownership: you'll take on hard, ambiguous problems, build what doesn't exist yet, and get more responsibility as fast as you can handle it. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed below.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES
Financial Modeling: Build and maintain models across revenue, gross margin, compute costs, headcount, and strategic bets that leadership uses to make decisions.
Business Partnership: Partner with leaders across GTM, Product, Infrastructure, and Operations to set targets, evaluate investments, and work through operational tradeoffs.
Unit Economics: Analyze the metrics that define a usage-based business, including ARR, consumption trends, gross margin, GPU utilization, retention, and GTM efficiency.
Pricing and Deals: Shape pricing, packaging, and the structure of strategic customer and supplier deals.
Board and Investors: Help prepare board materials, investor updates, and fundraising analyses.
Systems and Scale: Build the reporting, dashboards, and processes that let finance scale as fast as our revenue. Use AI and automation extensively to keep the team fast and lean.
Strategic Projects: Turn ambiguous business questions into clear analysis and recommendations, from market sizing to scenario planning to new business lines.
Leadership: For senior hires, own a major area of finance end to end, build and develop a team, and act as a thought partner to Finance leadership and the executive team.
