## Job description

## About Turn/River

Turn/River Capital is a private equity firm that partners with software businesses to drive AI transformation and catalyze capital-efficient growth. As a team of equal parts software operators and investors, we have the people, data-driven playbooks and flexible capital to re-architect engineering, product, go-to-market, talent and resourcing to build enduring value. Founded in 2012 and based in San Francisco, Turn/River has $5.6bn in committed capital and invests globally with a focus on North America and Europe.

## About the Role

You will be the analytical partner for one of our portfolio companies. Investment and Operating Leads will bring you their hardest revenue questions: why retention moved, where new customer revenue actually comes from, which pricing change is worth making. Those questions often arrive half-formed. Your job is to find the real question, get the data, build the analysis, and deliver a recommendation that holds up in front of our Ops and Investment teams, a portfolio company CEO, or firm leadership. You will sit in a pod with a Data Analytics Lead who owns the portfolio company relationship and a platform team that builds the data pipes. You own the analysis, the dashboards, the recommendation, and its revenue impact.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own value-creation analysis for your portfolio company: retention and cohorts, pricing and packaging, pipeline and funnel yield, and revenue source mapping.
- Build from raw data, not someone else’s summary. Pull and check the numbers yourself in SQL, our BI tools, and our AI agents.
- Use AI to compress your cycle time, and flag what should be automated for everyone.
- Turn findings into recommendations with a quantified revenue impact, a clear owner, and a next step.
- Support new deals and add-ons when the deal team needs speed.
- Turn any analysis that gets requested twice into a reusable template or tool for the portfolio and the whole Ops team.

## Qualifications

- 2-4 years of experience in SaaS FP&A or strategic finance, technology investment banking, or strategy consulting with software clients.
- Command of SaaS economics: ARR bridges, gross and net retention, cohorts, pricing, and unit economics.
- Experience building models from scratch and producing output that executives can use without rework.
- Proficiency in SQL and comfort in messy, raw data; demonstrated ability to use AI tools or automation, ideally without being asked.
- Structured thinker who can break complex revenue processes into systems of components, root causes, and dependencies.
- Hands-on, execution-oriented, and accountable for results—this is a building role, not an advisory one.
- Curious, experimental operator who takes feedback well and continuously tests new approaches and technologies
- Experience owning a relationship with a CFO, CRO, or business unit leader is preferred

Location

- San Francisco, hybrid work model

## Compensation

- The annual base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $155,000, taking into account numerous variable factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets, experience, training, licensure, certifications, and organizational requirements.

## Benefits and Perks

The below benefits are offered to full-time employees based out of our San Francisco office:

- An opportunity to make an impact across multiple high-growth tech firms
- Competitive salary and discretionary bonus
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance covered 100% for employee & dependents
- Flexible vacation policy
- 401K matching
- Paid parental leave
- Commuter benefits
- Health and Wellness benefits
- Household Services benefits
- Home Office benefits
- Annual Home Office Equipment Reimbursement
- Donation matching
- Work from home Monday & Friday
- Energetic work environment with snacks and weekly team lunches 3x per week, centrally located near multiple public transit lines
- A company that enjoys having fun: holiday parties, annual company offsite and retreat, annual summer "work from anywhere" month

## Products & Services

- **“Growth Engineering” System**: A repeatable set of small changes across marketing, sales, and customer success, designed to drive transformative, metrics‑backed growth for portfolio companies.
- **Hands‑On Operational Support**: A dedicated team of software operators (marketers, sellers, developers) who work side‑by‑side with portfolio leadership to build best practices in AI, product, finance, and GTM.

## Competitive Advantages

- **AI‑First Focus**: Explicit strategy to help portfolio companies evolve into AI platform leaders, leveraging in‑house expertise in AI agent engineering, data science, and digital marketing.
- **Scale & Speed**: Ability to underwrite and close large‑cap deals (e.g., $4.4B SolarWinds) while providing the same hands‑on support to earlier‑stage software companies.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Deepening AI capabilities across the portfolio; expanding headcount in engineering, data science, and GTM roles; continuing to acquire and scale software businesses in observability, security, and IT management.
