Overview

The organization is seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to drive the financial strategy behind top growth initiatives across strategic partnerships, product monetization, M&A, and other revenue opportunities. This role owns executive-facing financial analysis that informs capital allocation, commercial opportunity structuring, strategic transaction evaluation, and scalable product growth.

Responsibilities

• Lead complex financial modeling for strategic priorities, including major commercial partnerships, ecosystem incentives, new product launches, M&A, investment opportunities, and long-range growth initiatives.
• Own product-level financial models for revenue, including transaction revenue, subscription and services revenue, platform monetization, product unit economics, customer economics, and scenario-based revenue forecasting.
• Partner with Product, Business Development, Corporate Development, and GTM leaders to evaluate monetization models, partnership structures, pricing constructs, margin tradeoffs, and capital allocation decisions.
• Build and maintain investment-grade models for executive decision-making, including detailed revenue builds, sensitivity analyses, valuation frameworks, synergy cases, downside scenarios, cohort economics, and ROI/payback analyses.
• Translate complex analysis into clear executive narratives for CFO/CCO reviews, operating reviews, Board materials, strategic planning, and cross-functional decision forums.
• Serve as a strategic thought partner to senior leadership by identifying key drivers, risks, and tradeoffs and making clear recommendations.
• Develop financial frameworks to evaluate build/buy/partner decisions, including market sizing, strategic rationale, integration considerations, investment requirements, and financial return profiles.
• Partner with Accounting, Legal, Tax, Treasury, and Data teams to ensure models reflect operational realities, accounting considerations, regulatory constraints, and data integrity requirements.
• Use AI and automation tools to improve the speed, quality, and scalability of financial analysis, including model QA, data synthesis, scenario generation, workflow automation, and executive-ready output creation.
• Create repeatable planning and reporting infrastructure for emerging revenue streams, moving from bespoke analysis to durable operating cadence as products mature.
• Identify gaps in reporting, model architecture, and decision-making processes, and build practical solutions that improve strategic finance support.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of relevant experience, ideally including 2–4 years in investment banking and/or private equity plus 2+ years in strategic finance, corporate development, or FP&A at a fast-paced, high-growth technology, fintech, crypto, payments, marketplace, or AI company.
• Elite financial modeling skills, including the ability to build robust, flexible, executive-ready models from ambiguous inputs across revenue, margins, unit economics, valuation, M&A, partnerships, and scenario planning.
• Strong commercial and strategic judgment, including translating model outputs into appropriate business decisions.
• Excellent executive communication skills, including synthesizing complex analysis into concise narratives and board/CFO-ready materials.
• Ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive alignment across Product, Business Development, Corporate Development, Accounting, Legal, Data, and Finance.
• Experience supporting strategic partnerships, product monetization, M&A, corporate development, new business incubation, or other high-priority growth initiatives.
• High ownership and comfort with ambiguity; independently structure problems, define analytical approach, identify required inputs, and drive workstreams to completion.
• AI proficiency and curiosity, with hands-on experience using AI tools to improve financial analysis, research, automation, data interpretation, and communication quality.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills and strong Google Slides/PowerPoint presentation capabilities required.
• Bachelor’s degree required; finance, economics, accounting, mathematics, engineering, or a similarly analytical field preferred.
