We are seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to collaborate with cross-functional leaders and drive outcomes across the business.

A successful candidate should be self-motivated, hands-on, act as a proactive business partner and demonstrate the leadership capacity to assume increasing responsibility over time. This role is fast-paced and will have a direct impact on the company's ability to make key business decisions and grow efficiently.

Your day-to-day:

• Establish close cross-functional working relationships with business leaders to develop an understanding of their issues and needs; act as a liaison between these business leaders and executive management to drive attainment of business goals
• Support our product, engineering, marketing, and commercial sales teams with detailed custom financial modeling, scenario analysis, and market insights for prospective products and initiatives
• Analyze actual financial results vs budget/forecast and partner with business leaders to drive insightful and actionable decision support
• Support investor relations and corporate development activities, such as peer company benchmarking and evaluation of strategic partnerships, investment opportunities, and acquisition targets
• Own or contribute to forecasting, budgeting, resource allocation, and annual/long-range planning processes.
• Support the Accounting Team in month-end and quarter-end close processes and audit support

What you’ll bring to the team:

• Proven ability to influence across functions and levels
• Enthusiasm to learn and evolve skillset over time
• Strong accounting and systems knowledge (experience using financial planning software is a plus)
• Strong data visualization skills and an ability to synthesize complicated analyses in simple ways

What we're looking for in you:

• Data driven approach to analyze problems and drive actionable insights based on a strong understanding of consumer subscription or FinTech business models and the metrics that drive them (CAC, LTV, retention, cohort analysis, ARPU). Familiarity with consumer retail and hardware business models is a plus.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills. Not afraid to speak up when seeking answers to critical issues and comfortable presenting recommendations to executives.
• Business curiosity. Desire to understand how the business works and is comfortable asking the “why” behind the drivers/numbers.
• Strategic thinker with a strong ownership mentality. Ability to zoom out to the big picture, while staying detail oriented and committed to producing work at a high standard.
