About Us
Sunfish is a fast-growing, venture-backed Series A health tech startup. Our mission is to make the parenthood journey easy and affordable to help everyone build the family of their dreams. Used by leading fertility clinics throughout the United States, we help patients navigate and afford treatments. Our company ingests unique patient biodata to support patients using AI/ML. Sunfish’s team is composed of individuals with backgrounds in fertility, health tech, insurtech, and fintech – all with a shared passion for bringing equity to family building. And we’ve done this before - our executive team has had 11 exits and 3 IPOs to date.
The Role
We’re seeking a hands-on Head of Finance to own Sunfish’s financial strategy and forecasting as we scale. This leader will be the architect of our financial model and a trusted partner to the CEO and executive team. You will oversee accounting, FP&A, investor reporting, and strategic finance while building scalable processes for a fast-growing, venture-backed startup.
Responsibilities
Do work that matters
Be part of a company that’s transforming lives by making the dream of building a family more affordable and attainable. We offer a range of benefits designed to support your well-being, your health, and your personal and professional growth. From health coverage and paid time off, to sunny offices, team retreats, a 401K, a free gym membership at the Los Angeles office, and parental leave — we’re proud of the culture and care we’re building together. The most rewarding part of being here is the mission we’re building together: helping more people grow their families.
Our office is in Los Angeles near Playa Vista, 4 days a week, or New York City near Grand Central, 3 days per week. Our offsites include: karaoke nights, escape rooms, trivia nights, team happy hours, and more.
Compensation will be determined based on a range of factors.
