Laylo, the drop‑CRM that powers artists such as Zach Bryan and Sabrina Carpenter, is hiring its first dedicated finance leader. The role, offering $160K‑$200K and a 0.05%‑0.50% equity stake, will build financial infrastructure from scratch for a SaaS company that generated $1B in ticket, merch, and music sales.

The new Head of Finance will partner directly with CEO Alec and Sajan, modeling unit economics for pricing tiers, negotiating vendor contracts, and overseeing $40K SaaS tools and hybrid pricing at $1 + 3% of cart value on recoveries. Responsibilities include budgeting, headcount planning, cost optimization across headcount, software, and infrastructure, and full financial operations from bookkeeping with Pilot to monthly close.

Candidates must bring 5+ years in venture‑backed startups, deep SaaS metric fluency (ARR, LTV/CAC, Rule of 40), and experience building budgets and pricing overhauls. Nice to have: creator‑economy background, hybrid usage‑based pricing, and fundraising mechanics.

Laylo’s path to $30M ARR and $60M ARR makes this role a direct launchpad to VP Finance or CFO, positioning the finance function as the cornerstone of revenue‑centric growth and operational scale.
