The Senior Manager of Strategic Finance will serve as a senior thought partner to Finance and Executive leadership, applying an investor's lens to shape company strategy, evaluate growth opportunities, and guide capital allocation decisions. This role will own core strategic finance responsibilities, including financial modeling, investment evaluation, and scenario planning, while partnering cross-functionally to support key company-wide initiatives. The position blends rigorous analytics with clear executive communication and strong stakeholder management.

• Investment-Grade Analysis: Lead valuation work, build sophisticated financial models, and drive scenario analyses that inform major capital allocation decisions, including M&A, partnerships, and new market entry.
• Strategic Decision Support: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on high-stakes questions - applying the analytical frameworks and investment intuition developed in PE, hedge fund, or banking environments.
• Long-Range Planning: Own the company's long-range financial model, translating business strategy into rigorous financial projections and board-facing narratives.
• M&A & Investment Evaluation: Drive end-to-end transaction support - from sourcing-level financial screening and diligence to deal structuring and post-close value realization.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Partner with Business Units, Legal, and the Executive team to ensure financial rigor is embedded in key company-wide initiatives.

• 8+ years of experience in private equity, hedge fund, investment banking, or corporate development, with a strong preference for candidates with direct investing or deal execution experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading or materially supporting M&A transactions: valuation, due diligence, deal structuring, and integration planning.
• Investor mindset: able to synthesize complex business dynamics into clear investment theses and risk-adjusted recommendations.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making high-quality decisions with incomplete information - as you would in a live deal environment.
• Operational rigor: able to lead and drive strategic cross-functional projects from start to finish.
• Clear, confident communicator who can translate quantitative rigor into compelling executive and board-level narratives.
• Proven ability to influence C-suite decisions through financial storytelling and well-structured frameworks.
• Entrepreneurial orientation: eager to define the strategic finance function, not just execute within it.

• Lead with Humility: Everyone’s voice is respected, valued, and heard. With humility, we become more open and accessible to each other. We win, lose, and learn together. Accountability and feedback are essential to our success. 
• Uncapped Growth Mindset: We see all situations as opportunities to learn, grow, and improve as individuals and as an organization. We seek diverse perspectives, encourage curiosity, and promote experimentation to push the boundaries of what’s possible. 
• Create Real Value: We pursue the most impactful opportunities with rigor and integrity. We take intelligent risks and make disciplined trade-offs to maintain deep focus. We help our customers win by delivering durable value. 
• Go Further Together: We’re one team working towards one mission and vision. We collaborate proactively and inclusively, involving the right people at the right time and in the right way. We strive to create a more equitable workplace. We won’t let each other fail.
