2d•$212,000 - $265,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team? As a Director on the Strategic Finance team, you will play a critical role in shaping Flex’s business and financial strategy. You will operate as a senior partner to leadership, owning high-impact, cross-functional initiatives and driving decision-making across the organization. You will lead efforts to improve predictability, maximize ROI, and translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights that influence company direction. This role requires strong business judgment, deep financial expertise, a strong bias for action and the ability to operate at both strategic and executional levels. This is a hybrid position with on-site expectations of 3 days per week in our New York Headquarters. For candidates outside of the NY/NJ area, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.
