About The Role

We are seeking a highly analytical and business-minded Manager of Strategic Finance to serve as a key partner to the CFO and executive leadership team. This role is distinct from traditional FP&A functions; rather than focusing on retrospective reporting, the Manager will drive forward-looking analysis, capital allocation strategies, and long-term value creation. 

The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between financial data and operational strategy, providing the quantitative framework necessary for high-stakes business decisions, including new market entries, product pricing strategies, and potential M&A activity. 

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Planning & Modeling 

• Long-Range Planning: Own and refine the company’s 3-5 year Corporate Financial Model, ensuring alignment with the company’s strategic roadmap and macroeconomic assumptions. 

• Investment Analysis: Spearhead the development of comprehensive business cases and ROI analyses for proposed strategic initiatives (e.g., new product launches, geographic expansion, capital expenditures). 

• Scenario Planning: Develop dynamic "what-if" scenarios to stress-test business assumptions and assess financial risks under various market conditions. 

Performance Optimization 

• Unit Economics: Conduct deep-dive analyses into core performance metrics (LTV/CAC, Gross Margin, Churn, Retention) to identify trends and actionable opportunities for profitability improvement. 

• Pricing Strategy: Partner with Sales and Product leadership to evaluate pricing models and revenue structures to maximize top-line growth and margin retention. 

Executive Communication & Corporate Development 

• Board Reporting: Synthesize complex financial data into concise, high-impact narratives and presentations for the Board of Directors and external investors. 

• Corporate Development: Support the CFO in evaluating inorganic growth opportunities, including M&A due diligence, valuation modeling, and post-merger integration planning. 

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a financial advisor to department heads, helping non-finance leaders understand the financial implications of their operational decisions. 

Qualifications

Education & Experience 

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field required; MBA is a plus. 

• 4–7 years of relevant experience, preferably within Investment Banking, Management Consulting, Private Equity, or a Strategic Finance role at a high-growth company. 

Technical Skills 

• Advanced Modeling: Expert-level proficiency in Excel with a proven ability to build complex, integrated 3-statement financial models from scratch. 

• Data Proficiency: Experience navigating large datasets; familiarity with SQL and Business Intelligence tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, PowerBI) is highly preferred. 

• Systems Knowledge: Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, GP) and planning tools is advantageous. 

Core Competencies 

• Strategic Acumen: Ability to look beyond the numbers to understand the broader business context, market dynamics, and competitive landscape. 

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex financial concepts into clear insights for executive stakeholders. 

• Agility: Ability to prioritize and manage multiple high-visibility projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
