Strategic Finance Lead
Own the economics, pricing, and go-to-market strategy for Nova's financial product suite (deposits, treasury, credit, wealth) as a division CFO equivalent. Drive revenue growth through unit economics modeling, product decisions, and cross-functional conviction-building in a fintech/private markets environment. Requires 8+ years strategic finance experience with native fluency in financial-product economics.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Own the Nova business narrative on financial performance, product economics, and outlook, including mastery of the Nova P&L and revenue model.
- Own the economics of the financial-product menu (deposits, treasury, payments, credit, and wealth) and bring the point of view on what to build next, how it is priced, and how it makes money.
- Drive revenue growth: own target-setting and go-to-market planning for new and existing products, and unlock adoption across every channel from direct GP sales, the Ark / fund-admin cross-sell to the LP surface.
- Model the unit economics that drive the call (NIM and float, lending spread and risk, referral and take-rate economics, AUM fees), and connect each product to payments volume, balances, and revenue.
Requirements
- 8+ years across strategic finance, banking, private markets, or corporate strategy, owning growth planning personally. Strongest fits from fintech or neobank strategic finance, private-markets infrastructure, or banking and financial services turned operational.
- Reason natively in financial-product economics: deposits and float, lending spreads, referral and take-rate economics, AUM fees. Able to distinguish profitable products from costly ones.
- Form a clear point of view on what to build next, build conviction across product, GTM, and ops, and carry it to launch with pricing, packaging, and targets. Experience killing bets when economics don't hold.
- Operate with broad scope and no playbook. Make senior judgment calls before data is clean, shape own mandate, bias to action. Prefer deciding in days and correcting course over weeks on a cleaner answer.
- Distill complex problems to key decision points and communicate to executives in writing, in person, and in charts.
- Built AI into how you work and expect it to reshape finance operations; want to define what that looks like.
How Success Will Be Measured
- Leadership has conviction on which financial product to build next, and why.
- Nova leadership team plans off one trusted model with product economics, targets, and tradeoffs in one place.
- Clear, consistent narrative on financial performance and prioritized growth levers.
- Revenue grows: new and existing products contribute to payments volume, balances, and revenue, with GTM unlocked across direct, Ark/fund-admin, and LP channels.
