About the Role
Ramp's Strategic Finance team sits at the center of how the company allocates its time and resources. We're hiring across three complementary tracks — and looking for people with sharp financial instincts, a builder's mindset, and the drive to take on a large scope quickly.
Whether you lean toward GTM strategy, FP&A infrastructure, or broad strategic partnership, this is a rare opportunity to shape a pre-IPO company at a pivotal moment in its growth.
- Product Finance — Own models and KPIs, partner with Product and GTM, lead cross-functional planning.

What You'll Do
- Build and own detailed financial and operational models with the highest quality and accuracy
- Use data to influence key strategic decisions across Product, GTM, and business leadership
- Lead planning analyses for cross-functional teams, evaluating tradeoffs across growth, efficiency, and resourcing
- Identify and develop KPIs; build dashboards to monitor performance and communicate insights to stakeholders
- Partner closely with business leaders to translate strategy into execution and drive accountability
- Help run bi-annual budgeting and headcount planning cycles
- Manage company performance against financial targets — identifying where to course-correct and where to accelerate
- Build and maintain internal tools that reduce manual work and improve data accuracy across the finance org
What You Need
- 1–4 years in Investment Banking, Management Consulting, VC/PE, or Corporate Finance at a top-tier technology company
- Excellent financial modeling and quantitative / data analysis skills
- Extreme attention to detail with a high regard for precision
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills

- Comfort operating in ambiguity and adapting to evolving priorities
Nice to Haves
