[Hiring] Fractional Chief Financial Officer @Delfina

Role Description

We're looking for a Fractional CFO to own Delfina's financial strategy as we scale and prepare for our next phase of growth. You'll be a hands-on partner to our CEO, a trusted voice with our board and investors, and the person who translates our impact into a durable financial model. This is a great fit for a finance leader who has done this before at an early-stage digital health company and wants their next chapter to matter for families.

• Lead fundraising and investor relations:
  • Build the financial model, data room, and diligence responses
  • Partner with the CEO on pitch and investor conversations
• Own planning and reporting:
  • Annual budget, rolling forecasts, cash runway, and monthly board-ready reporting
• Build the finance function:
  • Oversee accounting, close, audit readiness, tax, and outside providers (bookkeeping, payroll, legal)
• Strengthen unit economics:
  • Cost-to-serve, gross margin, and contract profitability by partner and program
• Manage risk and compliance:
  • Controls, grant and public-contract financial requirements, insurance, and vendor contracts
• Shape payer contract economics:
  • Model pricing, value-based/risk arrangements with health plans and public partners
• Advise the leadership team:
  • Bring financial clarity to hiring, pricing, and market expansion decisions

Qualifications

• CFO or VP Finance experience at one or more Seed–Series C digital health companies
• Hands-on experience with payers and health plans — ideally Medicaid managed care, value-based contracts, or risk arrangements
• A track record of supporting a successful priced equity round (Series A or later)
• Board-level presence — you've presented to boards and investors and managed demanding stakeholders with clarity and calm
• Comfort being both strategic and in depth in financial data — at our stage, there's no team to delegate to yet
• Genuine commitment to health equity and to improving outcomes for women and families

Nice to have

• Experience with public sector, grant, or government contract finance
• Background in maternal, women's, or population health
• Familiarity with FQHC or community health center economics
• Prior experience as a fractional or part-time CFO across multiple companies

Benefits

• Compensation: Monthly retainer or hourly rate options, equity eligibility if applicable
• Flexible, remote-first engagement with a mission-driven team
• Potential path to a full-time role as Delfina grows
