About The Position

CLEAR is building THE secure identity company of the future. Our mission is to make experiences safer and easier—physically and digitally. With more than 38 million Members and a growing network of partners across the world, CLEAR's secure identity platform is transforming the way people live, work, and travel. Whether it’s at the airport, stadium, or throughout your everyday life, CLEAR unlocks the magic of frictionless experiences. Located in NYC, our headquarters offers close collaboration with and access to a hands-on senior leadership team. We have built a world-class Finance team and we are looking for someone equally exceptional to grow with us. As Senior Associate, FP&A, you will be at the center of how CLEAR plans, forecasts, and allocates resources. This is a builder's role: you will own our stakeholder relationships with senior leaders across CLEAR, modernize our forecasting infrastructure, and help supercharge our planning capabilities with AI. You will partner directly with business leaders across the company to give them real ownership of their P&Ls. This role reports to the VP, FP&A.

Requirements

5–7+ years of progressive FP&A experience, ideally in a high-growth or publicly traded company, with a track record of owning forecasting and planning processes
Deep hands-on expertise with FP&A systems—NSPB, Hyperion, Anaplan, OneStream, or similar EPM/CPM platforms; experience leading a system implementation or major upgrade is a strong plus
Analytical horsepower, meaning you love building models and are equally comfortable translating complex financial data into clear, executive-ready narratives
A systems thinker: you spot process inefficiencies and have the instincts—and the follow-through—to fix them
A collaborative partner: you know that the best finance teams make the whole organization smarter, and you build trust with non-finance stakeholders naturally
Curious about and actively exploring how AI and automation can be applied to FP&A workflows
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related analytical discipline
