We partner with teams across the company to improve the profitability, scalability, and defensibility of our business model. We're looking to hire strategic thinkers who can model the future, solve complex problems, and collaborate effectively to help carry projects from conception through execution.
About the Role
We are looking for a Manager who will play an integral role in building our business strategy and ensure we are making the most efficient investment and capital allocation decisions for our Payments Platform and Product division, our fast-growing fintech org within the business. This role will partner cross-functionally with teams across the business to support strategic business and financial decisions.

Collaborate with key stakeholders to develop new processes and investment decision making frameworks
Drive strategic decision making in a fast paced constantly changing environment
Oversee the financial viability and performance of our adoption and retention initiatives
Own the quarterly planning process in collaboration with our S&O counterparts
Work to optimize our approach to balancing growth vs. profitability

Support special projects to continuously improve, automate, and scale forecasting and reporting tools, processes, and methodologies

We're excited about you because you...
Have 6+ years of strategic finance, operational finance, FP&A, or investment banking experience at a high-growth technology startup or well-established company
Have team management experience. Building and developing a team is something you are passionate about
Have experience owning budgets for major functional areas within an organization, and working with operators on day-to-day execution to hit targets
Thrive in high-performance cultures, handle stress well, and aren't afraid of long hours in pursuit of meaningful work
Embrace ambiguity. Rapid change and learning is exciting to you, and you know how to find direction and craft a plan of action even when none is given to you
Lead by example and indirect influence. You excel at navigating a rapidly growing organization with many different cross-functional partners, gaining input and building consensus with key stakeholders as you go.
You know how to organize and motivate a broad, diverse and geographically dispersed working team around a shared goal.
Are relentless. Things never quite go according to plan. You have the determination and grit to keep working on a problem as new challenges emerge, while maintaining the flexibility to adjust plans or strategies as needed.
Have a proven ability to earn the trust of senior leaders, and influence their thinking on key strategic decisions
Have experience building and reviewing highly complex models, and developing a team that sets the gold standard for financial modeling. You know how to distill complex financial data into digestible outputs and analyses, for use across the organization
Are equally comfortable operating at 10,000 feet and 1 foot. You don't hesitate to get in the weeds and work at the lowest level of detail, but you're just as comfortable thinking long-term and inspiring a team. No job is beneath you.
We expect this position to be filled by 1/21/26.
