About this Role

As the Vice President of Finance at Waymark, you lead Waymark’s FP&A and Accounting teams, with significant autonomy. You will help define and drive the strategic financial direction for Waymark, manage day-to-day forecasting, budgeting, and accounting operations, and serve as Waymark’s most senior finance leader, responsible for helping to build and scale Waymark’s finance function. This is not a role where you manage from a distance — you will personally own the models, build the reports, and stay deep in the details of our financials every day. As the source closest to the financials, you will be the primary point of contact for the Executive Leadership Team, Board, and investors, providing authoritative answers, updated projections, and rigorous ROI analyses to drive key decisions. You are a strong team builder and communicator, able to develop finance team talent while keeping investors and leadership fully informed on financial performance and strategic outlook.

Reporting directly to the Head of Revenue (acting CFO), you will have full ownership of both the FP&A and Accounting functions and are expected to operate with a high degree of independence. You will define our systems and processes, and serve as a trusted strategic partner to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, Board, and investors, shaping financial strategy at the highest levels of the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Co-lead financial strategy for capital raises, including investor materials, scenario modeling, and due diligence support.
• Assist with payroll operations, ensuring accuracy and compliance
• Drive independently on all things Finance across accounting, payroll, and FP&A. As a VP, you will be expected to proactively identify and resolve issues independently, with the support of Executive, Accounting, and Actuarial teams, while actively developing the capabilities of the finance organization

Minimum Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive experience in Healthcare Finance, with meaningful exposure to both FP&A and Accounting
• Prior VP Finance, Controller, or equivalent role at a growth-stage company preferred, with direct experience overseeing or managing an accounting function
