Candid Health

The revenue cycle automation platform.

We are looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to drive analytical decision-making to support Candid Health’s growth. In this role, you won't just handle financial planning—you will partner with Sales, Product, Engineering, Operations and company leadership to drive business execution and growth.

You will be responsible for owning business planning & forecasting, analyzing our unit economics including margin / profitability, increasing efficiency and scaling of our GTM motion, and optimizing our capital allocation decisions to maximize growth.

What you’ll be doing

• Strategic Planning & Analysis: Own P&L forecasting, including annual plans, quarterly forecasts, and monthly reporting.
• Unit Economics & Pricing: Deep dive into our gross margins and define CAC/LTV by customer segment.
• Capital Allocation: Conduct rigorous analysis on TAM, new product opportunities, partnerships, and M&A to ensure we are deploying capital toward the highest-leverage outcomes.
• AI-Enabled Forecasting: Move beyond manual Excel updates. Leverage AI-driven FP&A tools / systems to automate variance analysis and rolling forecasts, allowing you to focus on the strategic questions rather than tracking performance.

Who you are

• Experience: 4-6 years of finance experience (strategic finance, investment banking, and/or private equity), including experience owning forecasting and analytical decision making at a high growth company.
• Analytical Powerhouse: You are driven by innate curiosity to get to “the why” and to understand root cause and are comfortable leveraging big data sets to inform decision-making. You have high proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets, but you are also comfortable using SQL to pull your own data.
• Communication: You can translate dense financial data into a compelling story for non-finance stakeholders. You don’t just present options - you have a point of view on what action should be taken and you’re not afraid to share it. The ideal candidate combines deep financial expertise with practical operational leadership and is comfortable partnering with executives on long-term strategy.
• The "Multiplier" Mindset: You are a "player-coach" who wants to build the templates and systems yourself. You proactively look for ways to use AI and automation to make our financial planning process 10x faster and more accurate.
