[Hiring] Fractional Chief Financial Officer @Maze

Role Description

We're looking for a fractional CFO to serve as a strategic finance partner to our executive team. This role is focused on the strategic layer: helping our leadership team frame the financial dimensions of our biggest decisions, guiding our capital strategy, and bringing an external network and pattern recognition built from experience.

What You'll Do

• Join our leadership rhythm on a regular cadence (weekly with the exec team, quarterly board prep) and serve as a thinking partner on the decisions that matter most.
• Help the exec team evaluate where to invest, where to pull back, and how to think about growth versus efficiency at our stage.
• Guide our capital strategy across the full range of options.
• Partner with our Finance Director as a thought partner who sharpens strategic thinking and elevates the team’s work with the exec team and board.
• Grow relationships across banking partners, investors, corporate development contacts, and advisors who've guided companies through similar inflection points.
• Help shape board materials and be available for board conversations when financial strategy is on the agenda.

Qualifications

• Experience as CFO, VP Finance, or Head of Finance at one or more venture-backed SaaS companies through the $10M to $100M ARR range.
• Involvement in consequential decisions and helping leadership teams navigate them with clarity.
• Experience in fundraising (Series B through growth rounds) and fluency in term sheets, investor dynamics, and tradeoffs founders make.
• Participation in key company events and understanding what makes a company attractive, how to run a process, and when to walk away.
• Experience working with venture debt providers and understanding when debt is smart capital and when it creates more risk than it solves.
• Built or refined the financial operating cadence for a scaling SaaS company and know which metrics actually drive decisions.
• Comfortable with founder-led company dynamics and understanding SaaS economics deeply (unit economics, cohort analysis, net revenue retention, CAC payback, Rule of 40).
• Possess a network in the SaaS and venture ecosystem that opens doors when introductions are needed.
