Strategic Finance Lead

What you’ll own

The main job is capital allocation. You frame the big spend decisions (the next dollar of incentive, headcount, or product investment), build the business case, and bring a real point of view instead of a menu of options. You’ll do that by:

Marketplace dynamics & liquidity economics

• Build and maintain the economic model of the marketplace: take rate, fill rate, match rate, wallet share, ad spend (the north star), and how they move together.
• Diagnose liquidity health as a financial question, not just an ops one — where bids go unfilled, where supply sits idle, and what each is costing us.
• Translate flywheel mechanics into dollars: quantify how a change on one side of the market compounds through to Ad Spend and net revenue.

Incentive design & testing

• Partner closely with Eng, Product, and Data Science to own incentive design and its financial impact.
• Design creator- and brand-side incentive experiments end-to-end: hypothesis, financial model, success criteria, and the readout that decides whether it scales or dies.
• Own the economics of live experiments, including the counterfactual and the breakeven.

Pricing & packaging strategy

• Own pricing strategy across both sides of the marketplace, including take-rate structure, tiered pricing, creator earnings floors, and sensitivity modeling.
• Model the second-order effects: what a pricing move does to supply behavior, demand elasticity, and net revenue, not just the first-order rate change.
• Partner with Product Marketing on pricing and packaging.

Forecasting & long-range planning

• Build and own the long-range model and the bottoms-up projection blocks that leadership and the board run against.
• Drive scenario planning and the "what would have to be true" cases behind each major bet.
• Connect the forecast to operating reality: when actuals diverge, find the driver and feed it back into the model and the strategy.

What we’re looking for

• 6-10 years across banking, marketplaces, consumer, or high-growth companies where you've owned a number and felt the difference between a model that's right and a bet that worked.
• You think in unit economics and second-order effects, not just totals. You instinctively ask what a change does to the other side of the market.
• You've designed experiments, not just analyzed them after the fact. You know how to structure a test so the readout is decision-grade.
• You're a builder. You'd rather ship a rough model that changes a decision this week than a perfect one next month (speed > precision when it's a two-way door).
• You bring a point of view and can defend it with insight, then commit when the call goes the other way.
• You’re fluent in AI data tools to get your own answers instead of waiting in a queue.
