About Mux

Mux is video for developers. Our mission is to democratize video by solving the hard problems developers face when building video: video encoding and streaming (Mux Video), video monitoring (Mux Data), and more. Video is a huge part of people’s lives, and we want to help make it better.

We’re committed to building a healthy team that welcomes diverse backgrounds and experiences. We want people who care about our mission, are ready to grow, believe in our values (from Be Human to Turn Customers Into Fans), and want to improve the people around them.

You’ll join a tight-knit team with experience at places like Google, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, Zencoder, Fastly, and more. Our founders previously started (and sold) Zencoder, an early leader in cloud video technology, and authored Video.js, the biggest HTML5 video player on the web. We organize Demuxed, the premiere conference for video engineers in the world.

We’re backed by top investors like Coatue, Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and Y Combinator. You’ll get to work with amazing companies: hundreds of startups, plus Strava, Patreon, Vimeo, Robinhood, PBS, and Equinox. Customers, large and small, love working with us and love our team.

We are building something big together. We’d love to hear from you!

About the Role
We're seeking an exceptional finance and analytics leader who combines the operational instincts of a seasoned business operator with the technical prowess of a technical architect. This role demands someone who can seamlessly navigate between building sophisticated revenue models and implementing AI-powered workflow automation, between leading audit readiness initiatives and optimizing go-to-market performance. You'll be our strategic finance generalist, equally comfortable presenting investment frameworks to the board, debugging data infrastructure, and driving experimentation that improves pricing and packaging.

This isn't a traditional finance role. We need a rare combination of early-stage operational scrappiness with late-stage financial discipline. You'll own end-to-end financial planning while leading cross-functional revenue optimization initiatives that directly impact our growth trajectory. The ideal candidate brings the analytical rigor of our data-driven culture with the communication skills and business acumen to influence executive leadership across all functions. We're looking for someone who's equally energized by building three-statement models and designing A/B testing frameworks, has operational instincts to balance analytical rigor with speed of execution, and thrives in environments where finance, analytics, and operations intersect to drive measurable business outcomes.

  • Lead pricing optimization and packaging initiatives that drive material revenue impact

  • Build predictive models for sales forecasting, customer acquisition, and revenue recognition across subscription and usage-based models

  • Drive influence without authority across diverse stakeholders and functional areas

Who You Are

  • 8-12 years total finance/analytics experience with progression through: early career foundation in investment banking, private equity, or management consulting; 4+ years in Strategic Finance or FP&A at high-growth B2B SaaS companies; and 2+ years in Business Operations or Revenue Operations with direct exposure to pricing, GTM strategy, deal desk, or growth experimentation

  • 5+ years of people management experience with proven ability to scale teams who drive results through influence

  • Deep experience with both subscription and usage-based SaaS revenue models and track record of leading strategic initiatives with measurable impact (e.g. pricing strategy, cost optimization, etc.)

  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL, Excel/Sheets modeling, data visualization tools (Tableau, Looker), modern data stack (Databricks, Fivetran), revenue tools (Salesforce, marketing automation) and modern AI/ML platforms

  • Hands-on experience with process automation and ability to evaluate and deploy AI solutions to improve team workflows and efficiency

  • Exceptional communication skills with proven ability to influence and partner effectively with C-level executives and cross-functional leadership

  • Balance of early-stage scrappiness with late-stage operational discipline and cultural alignment focused on collaboration and customer impact over traditional finance mindset

Bonus

  • Experience building analytics infrastructure, predictive models, attribution systems, or experimentation frameworks

  • Experience with deal desk operations, contract optimization, revenue recognition complexities, and advanced revenue analytics including multi-touch attribution and cohort analysis

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Engineering, or related quantitative field
