Olo was born out of a simple idea: What if you could order and pay for a coffee from your phone and have it ready upon arrival at the cafe? We got to work in 2005, sending text message orders to printers—two years before the iPhone would change the world.
Today, Olo operates as a leading SaaS platform accelerating digital transformation in the restaurant industry. Our Order, Pay, and Engage solutions enable hospitality at scale, help restaurants deliver more personalized and profitable guest experiences, and enable brands to do more with less – making every guest feel like a regular.
We are looking for an experienced finance professional to lead the GTM (Go-To-Market) Finance team.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about collaborating with leaders as a strategic thought partner, managing investments to drive revenue, and optimizing overall functional P&Ls. You will also help drive decision making around a complex revenue model that requires inputs from cross-functional teams (GTM, CX, Product, S&O, and more), and an understanding of platform/product and macro trends. You will lead Olo’s revenue forecast model with a heavy focus on driving forecast predictability across key revenue metrics (ACV, ARR, Revenue, Active Locations, ARPU, etc.), and to ensure strong forecast accuracy and alignment with business trajectory, you must be effective at partnering with cross-functional teams and questioning inputs, while having strong attention to detail, curiosity, and a data-driven attitude.
You can work remotely from anywhere in the U.S. or at Olo’s headquarters in NYC.

- Support annual planning, budget, and forecast cycles with respect to GTM organization.
- Be a subject matter expert on customer acquisition/sales funnels and related SaaS performance metrics (LTV, CAC, Net Magic Number etc.), as well as customer engagement dynamics; understand, analyze, and communicate related market & channel trends.
- Create ad-hoc analyses to drive business strategy, improve efficiency and maximize ROI alongside a deep, recurring focus on understanding Marketing investments and benefits.
- Assist in preparation of materials for Board of Directors meetings and internal leadership meetings.
