Head of Finance

🐶 Our mission

At Snout , our mission is to ensure no one ever has to make a healthcare decision for their pet based on the money in their bank account. As a modern financing alternative to traditional pet insurance, Snout wellness plans cover 100% of routine veterinary care like vaccinations, unlimited visits, and other valuable member benefits — designed to be used, not forgotten. We help pet owners prioritize care while removing financial risk for veterinary practices.

🚀 The opportunity

Snout is one of the fastest growing companies in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the US. We’re a small but mighty startup team of fewer than 30 passionate people. We’re looking for a roll-up-your-sleeves Head of Finance based USA , preferably in New York City or the Metro Detroit area in a hybrid role, to own the entire financial engine of the company – from financial modeling to budgeting, fundraising to metric tracking.

💻 The role

Snout is looking for a Head of Finance to join our leadership team and help shape the future of a fast-growing, venture-backed fintech company in the veterinary space. You’ll report directly to the COO and own the financial strategy, operations, and roadmap that power our business.

This is an ideal role for someone with a strong foundation in finance – whether from investment banking, financial services, consulting, corporate strategy, or valuation – who’s ready to move beyond spreadsheets and into strategic decision-making. At Snout, finance isn’t just about reporting and forecasting. It’s about helping design the future of our product, inform pricing and risk models, and influence how we scale.

If you're part spreadsheet nerd, part strategic operator, and excited by the idea of building something new with a team that moves fast and thinks big – we’d love to talk.

Snout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We know that great candidates may not check every box — and that’s okay. If you're excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply if you meet at least 75% of qualifications including the first bullet. If you need any accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know — we’re happy to support you.
