ABOUT QUINCE
Quince is a destination for builders, creators, innovators, and operators who want to come together and challenge the status quo. Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. We deliver on that mission through a unique manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) model eliminating the layers of traditional retail that add cost and result in consumers paying more than they need to. We find, build relationships with, and work directly with the manufacturing partners behind some of the world's finest products. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast.
What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. Today, tens of millions of people across a growing number of countries come – and return – to Quince because they trust us to deliver.
OUR CULTURE
Quince is a culture built for builders by builders. Our way of working starts with a blank sheet of paper. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We aren't interested in replicating how others do retail. We're building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that's been done before.
- We dream big and chase the hard problems others shy away from. Rejecting long-held assumptions is part of our company's DNA. Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place.
- Our pace is fast and the bar is high because our customers expect a lot from us and we refuse to let them down. We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths.
- Here, responsibility is not determined by role, tenure, or seniority. Every team member – no matter their level – has the opportunity to drive our business and shape our trajectory.
If you're someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.

- Deliver high-impact ad hoc analyses on strategic initiatives, investments, pricing, and growth opportunities to inform decision-making.
- Drive continuous improvement in financial processes, reporting infrastructure, and planning systems to scale with the business.

- Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets, including complex models and sensitivity analyses, along with hands-on experience using financial planning and reporting systems (e.g., Adaptive, Anaplan, Hyperion, NetSuite, or similar tools).
- Solid command of accounting and finance fundamentals, including GAAP, general ledger review, and financial controls, with the ability to partner effectively with Accounting teams.
- Exceptional analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize large, complex data sets into clear insights that influence executive decision-making.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting structured financial narratives and recommendations to senior leadership.
- High attention to detail paired with the ability to manage competing priorities and ambiguity in a fast-paced, scaling environment.

Tips for Your Director of Strategic Finance Job Search
Quantify your planning impact clearly
Directors of strategic finance are hired for their ability to influence decisions with numbers. Your resume needs to show the size of budgets you've owned, models you've built, and business outcomes your analysis directly shaped, not just the tools you used.
Distinguish FP&A from strategic finance roles
Many postings blend these titles, but the work differs significantly. Strategic finance roles focus on scenario modeling, capital allocation, and partnering with the C-suite. Tailor your resume language to match the posting's emphasis so your application doesn't read as a pure FP&A candidate.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of strategic finance openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target companies at inflection points
Pre-IPO companies, post-acquisition integrations, and high-growth startups hire directors of strategic finance most urgently. Filtering your search toward companies in those stages puts you in front of hiring managers who have immediate, high-stakes needs you can speak to directly.
Prepare a business case for your interview
Expect case-style discussions where you're asked to evaluate a capital allocation decision or build a framework for a growth investment. Practice walking through your assumptions out loud, not just the output, because interviewers at this level are testing your reasoning as much as your answer.
Negotiate your mandate, not just your offer
At the director level, scope matters as much as compensation. Before accepting, clarify whether you'll have a seat at the table for strategic decisions or report to a CFO who makes those calls independently. The role's real value is determined by the access and influence that come with it.
Director of Strategic Finance Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of strategic finances?
Augmentis, Oscar Health, and Plaid are hiring the most director of strategic finances right now, with openings concentrated in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Technology companies and private equity-backed firms account for a large share of active postings.
How many director of strategic finance jobs are remote?
About 77% of director of strategic finance openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's heavy reliance on cross-functional collaboration over in-person presence. Long-range planning and investor relations work tends to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles tied to M&A execution or close CFO partnership are more likely to require on-site availability.
How do you become a director of strategic finance?
Most directors of strategic finance move up through investment banking, private equity, or FP&A roles where they build financial modeling depth and executive exposure. The clearest path involves taking on increasingly complex planning responsibilities, volunteering for cross-functional projects that require presenting to leadership, and developing the ability to translate financial analysis into strategic recommendations that non-finance stakeholders can act on.
Can you get hired as a director of strategic finance without direct experience in the role?
Yes, candidates from adjacent backgrounds regularly make the move into strategic finance director roles. Investment bankers, management consultants, and senior FP&A managers are frequently hired because they bring strong modeling skills, comfort with ambiguity, and experience influencing decisions at senior levels. Framing your experience around business impact rather than technical finance tasks is what tends to close the gap.
What does the director of strategic finance interview process look like?
The process typically runs three to four rounds and starts with a recruiter screen followed by a conversation with the CFO or VP of Finance. Candidates should expect at least one case-style exercise involving a capital allocation decision, a build-or-buy analysis, or a scenario model. Final rounds often include meetings with business unit leaders whose partnership you'd support, since cross-functional fit is evaluated as seriously as technical ability.
Where can I find and apply to director of strategic finance jobs?
You can find and apply to director of strategic finance jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and background, then apply directly to each one that fits.
