Job Description

Director, Strategic Deal Finance

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Director, Strategic Deal Finance based in Canada.

This is a senior finance leadership role at the core of commercial strategy and revenue governance within a fast-paced, high-growth digital advertising environment. You will own the financial structure and integrity of complex commercial agreements, ensuring every deal is backed by rigorous economic logic and aligned with long-term business objectives. The role sits at the intersection of strategic finance, deal structuring, and revenue operations, with direct influence on how large-scale advertising partnerships are evaluated and approved. You will partner closely with senior leadership, FP&A, and go-to-market teams to shape pricing, manage deal performance, and ensure disciplined financial decision-making. Acting as the ultimate authority on deal economics, you will oversee revenue adjustments, accruals, and forecasting integrity across multiple programs. This is a high-ownership position requiring strong judgment, precision, and the ability to operate confidently in ambiguous, high-stakes environments.

Accountabilities:
  • Own the end-to-end financial governance of commercial deals, including structuring, approval frameworks, and ongoing performance monitoring across standard and non-standard agreements.
  • Serve as the DRI for revenue adjustments, ensuring accuracy, logic integrity, and full reconciliation of weekly reporting outputs and financial datasets.
  • Lead financial modeling for complex, non-standard deals, including scenario analysis, risk assessment, and recommendation of optimal commercial structures.
  • Partner with FP&A and GTM teams to lead weekly performance reviews, explain variances, and ensure alignment on revenue expectations and reporting outcomes.
  • Maintain and enforce Deal Desk policies, approval matrices, and eligibility thresholds, while contributing to periodic strategic reviews with senior leadership.
  • Oversee accruals and revenue recognition support for all key deal structures, ensuring defensible accounting logic and readiness for executive-level review.
  • Monitor deal performance and cash flow against assumptions, proactively identifying deviations and recommending corrective financial actions.
  • Lead cross-functional alignment on active deal pipeline management, ensuring timely incorporation of business updates into financial models and forecasts.
  • Manage and mentor a Senior Analyst, providing guidance on prioritization, modeling quality, and analytical rigor within the Deal Desk function.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience in strategic finance, commercial finance, deal desk, revenue operations, or related roles, with at least 5 years owning complex deal structuring or commercial agreements.
  • Strong expertise in financial modeling, revenue forecasting, and commercial deal evaluation in high-volume or high-growth environments.
  • Solid understanding of revenue recognition principles, accrual accounting, and financial controls in commercial operations.
  • Proven ability to independently evaluate complex deal economics and present clear, defensible recommendations to executive stakeholders.
  • Exceptional analytical judgment with the ability to balance commercial pressure and financial discipline while maintaining credibility and alignment.
  • Demonstrated experience acting as a decision owner (DRI) in cross-functional environments with high accountability and ambiguity.
  • Strong communication and executive presence, with experience presenting insights and recommendations to senior leadership (including CXO level).
  • Experience in digital advertising, programmatic media, or ad tech is a strong asset.
Benefits:
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based bonus and equity components
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage (country-dependent)
  • Retirement savings plan and employer contribution options
  • Flexible remote-first work environment with global collaboration
  • Paid time off, holidays, parental leave, and wellness-focused benefits
  • Learning and development support, including professional growth opportunities
  • Exposure to high-impact strategic deals within a fast-scaling global organization
  • Inclusive and collaborative culture focused on innovation and accountability
  • Base compensation range (Canada OTE): CAD 185,000 – 230,000, plus variable compensation and equity eligibility.
