Deal Strategist

Campfire is building modern accounting software for startups and mid-size tech companies, and we're going head to head with giants like NetSuite to do it. Our AI-native general ledger runs the close, revenue recognition, and reporting for finance teams that have outgrown QuickBooks and refuse to settle for a legacy ERP.

You'll own how Campfire makes money on every deal. Pricing strategy, deal structuring, partner economics, and the systems that make it all repeatable. You'll model a deal like you're underwriting it, then write the code that makes the next hundred deals faster.

You'll work directly with sales leadership, legal, finance, and business operations, and you'll have real authority to say yes, no, and "here's a better structure."

• Crack the hard deals. Structure and approve non-standard deals: multi-year ramps, discounts, buyouts, swaps, implementation fees, and payment terms. Turn messy asks from AEs into clean, defensible structures fast.

• Own pricing strategy. Build and evolve our packaging and price book. Move us toward value-based pricing grounded in the outcomes customers actually get.

• Price what we ship next. Own unit economics for each product, and build the business case and pricing for new products and AI features before they launch.

• Write the rules. Own the discount and approval policy: who can approve what, which exceptions escalate, and the playbook that lets AEs move fast without giving away margin.

• Price partnerships. Model the economics of channel and platform deals, like fund administrators running their clients on Campfire, and make sure we capture our share of the value we create.

• Underwrite every deal. Build models for margin, payback, LTV, and the downstream impact on ARR, bookings, and quota credit. Know which deals to fight for and which to walk from.

• Build the machine. Build the systems and automations that power quoting, approvals, and deal analytics across our CRM and our internal tools. If it's manual twice, you automate it.

• Be the commercial brain in the room. Partner with sales on contract terms and live negotiations.

We care more about trajectory than pedigree. If you've built impressive things from an unusual starting point, we want to hear from you.

• Investor-trained. 2-4 years in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, strategic finance, or a related finance function, with experience at a high-growth technology company a plus. You think in returns, downside cases, and term sheets.

• AI-native in how you work. You already use tools like Claude Code to build models, automate analysis, and get more done than a team twice your size. You're comfortable building and have shipped something real: a model, a pipeline, a tool people used.

• Intellectually sharp. You find the flaw in a structure before anyone else does, and you can explain it in one sentence.

• A clear communicator. You can walk leadership or the board through a complex deal or pricing change and leave them with a decision, not a spreadsheet.

• Extreme ownership. You treat Campfire's revenue like your own money. You're the person who stays on the deal until it's right, and who people trust with the hardest calls.

• Fast and decisive. You'd rather make a good call today than a perfect one next week, and you own the outcome either way.

• Precise. Fast doesn’t mean sloppy. Pricing mistakes compound across every renewal, so you check the math and get the details right.

• Comfortable with ambiguity. There's no playbook yet. You'll write it.

• Direct line to leadership. You work with leadership on decisions that move the business.

• Real leverage. Your code and your judgment compound across every deal we sign.
