What We Do
Wagmo is a modern pet healthcare company built around how pet parents actually care for their pets. We partner with employers to provide a complete approach to pet and pet-parent wellbeing, from preventive wellness plans and emergency coverage to 24/7 pet telehealth guidance. Our purpose is to unlock every pet parent's potential to provide extraordinary care, and we do it by bringing the same intentionality to pet benefits that the best employers bring to human healthcare. Founded in 2017 and female-founded, Wagmo is headquartered in New York City and trusted by leading employers nationwide.
What’s Important To Us
Our mission shapes everything we build and how we work together. We take fearless ownership of outcomes, collaborate with radical candor, and are always driven by the customers and pet parents who trust us. We think critically, follow through relentlessly, and find the extra 10% that turns good work into exceptional work. We keep it weird because the obvious answer is rarely the most interesting one. Our values aren't aspirational. We interview for them and hold each other accountable to them. If what you've read so far resonates with you and you want to be part of a team where every person makes the company meaningfully better, we'd love to hear from you.
About The Role
As the Finance Manager at Wagmo, you will play a critical role in building the financial rigor, operating visibility, and strategic insights needed to support Wagmo’s next stage of growth. This role is ideal for a hands-on, analytically strong finance leader who can move seamlessly between detailed financial modeling, cross-functional business partnership, executive reporting, and strategic decision support. You will own core financial planning and analysis processes, including budgeting, forecasting, consolidated financial modeling, budget vs. actuals management, cash forecasting, pricing analysis, and sales performance insights. You will also help modernize Wagmo’s finance function by developing and applying AI-enabled workflows that create reporting efficiencies and surface more actionable business insights.
This is a highly cross-functional role partnering closely with leadership across Sales & Marketing, Customer Success, Customer Operations, and Product & Engineering. The ideal candidate brings strong financial judgment, operational discipline, curiosity, and the ability to translate complex financial information into clear recommendations that drive better business decisions.
Location: This is a hybrid role based in NYC; candidates must be willing and able to work in-office three days per week.

Create timely, actionable budget vs. actuals reporting in partnership with department leads to support active P&L management, resource allocation, and financial accountability across the business.

Develop Wagmo’s AI strategy for Finance and apply AI-enabled tools or workflows in at least 50% of reporting processes to improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and identify more actionable insights.
Partner with RevOps and the VP of Sales to increase confidence in sales forecasting, improve pipeline visibility, and identify opportunities to drive stronger sales productivity.
Actively manage cash positioning and cash forecasting to support effective utilization of Wagmo’s capital and ensure leadership has clear visibility into runway, liquidity, and investment tradeoffs.
Support strategic projects, including fundraising preparation, board materials, investor reporting, unit economics analysis, headcount planning, and business case development.
Own Wagmo’s pricing strategy in partnership with Product, including financial analysis, pricing recommendations, and scenario modeling to support growth, retention, and profitability.

Excellent communication skills, including the ability to present financial insights clearly to both finance and non-finance stakeholders. Demonstrated ability to partner with cross-functional leaders to manage budgets, interpret financial performance, and influence better business decisions.
High ownership, attention to detail, and a bias toward action, with the ability to balance strategic thinking and hands-on execution. Comfort working with ambiguity and building processes from the ground up in a fast-paced, resource-conscious environment.
Why Consider This Role?
