ER to Strategic Finance Role at Pre-IPO Startup

I'm currently a mid-level associate on a software equity research team at a BB. I want to keep at this role for 3-5 more years before moving to a startup. How easy is the move to a Strategic Finance function at a Series C+ startup with this background, and what kind of level would I be able to go in at?
