Senior Manager, Strategic Finance

Imprint • New York, NY

1d • $175,000 - $225,000

About The Position

As Senior Manager, Strategic Finance, you will own Imprint's corporate financial model and act as a strategic thought partner to cross functional teams, helping steer the business weekly, not quarterly, toward the right outcomes. This is a high impact individual contributor role with accountability for the numbers that drive our most important decisions and for the story those numbers tell to our board, our investors, and teams across Risk, Growth, and Data.
This is a hands on role for someone who is equally at home in the weeds of a model and in the room with executives. You'll build the forecast, dig into why the numbers moved, and turn that into a clear recommendation, then translate the same analysis into a board ready narrative that anticipates the questions investors will ask before they ask them. You will partner directly with Senior Leaders, with direct exposure to the C-suite, and work cross functionally with Commercial, Risk, Growth, Accounting, Treasury, Capital Markets, and Data.
Beyond owning the numbers, you'll help push the business forward strategically, making sure the company is focused on the right actions to drive the best outcomes, and giving leadership a clear, well reasoned point of view on where to place its bets. This role is right for someone who thinks like an investor, has strong commercial judgment, and has the confidence to challenge assumptions rather than just report results.

Requirements

• 6+ years across private equity or investment banking and in-house FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance. You've done both the deal lens analysis and the operating work
• A genuine investor lens: you understand what capital providers and boards care about and how they assess a business
• Strong financial modeling, and the range to work in the weeds on forecasts and data while operating at the 10,000 foot level with executives, the board, and investors
• The ability to turn financial and operational data into clear recommendations, and to write and present a narrative that lands with a sophisticated audience
• Strong commercial judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the confidence to challenge assumptions
• Strong cross functional communication skills, able to work effectively with Commercial, Risk, Growth, Accounting, Treasury, Capital Markets, and Data teams among others
• Comfort with ambiguity and a startup mindset. You operate with minimal direction, move fast, and own real outcomes

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience in fintech, payments, lending, or a product led company, and comfort with loan portfolio and cohort economics (if you don't have it, we'll teach it)
• Familiarity with unit economics and recurring revenue frameworks (CAC/LTV, cohort retention)
• Prior experience supporting a diligence or board process
• Hands on experience embedding AI tools into an analytical workflow, and comfort with automating data work
• Experience in a high growth or early stage company environment

Responsibilities

• Own the design, build, and maintenance of Imprint's corporate financial model and consolidated forecast, with a clear narrative behind every number
• Own recurring financial processes including monthly reporting, forecasting, and variance analysis
• Run the planning and forecasting cadence, monitor performance against plan, diagnose variances, and turn them into action: not "we were below plan," but why, what it means, and what we should do about it
• Build and maintain complex financial models to support strategic decisions and ROI analysis
• Own the board materials and the analyses that tell Imprint's story to investors, and scale how those materials get built as the company grows
• Understand how investors evaluate the business, the metrics they prioritize and how they read performance, risk, and growth, and get ahead of their questions in how you frame the numbers
• Act as a strategic thought partner to cross functional teams on business planning, investment decisions, and performance tracking
• Provide decision support on strategic initiatives, pricing, and investment decisions, evaluating trade offs and P&L implications so leadership has an informed point of view in the room
• Partner with Commercial GMs, partner leads, Risk, and Growth teams to incorporate revenue and cost inputs into planning models and evaluate ROI on growth and product investments
• Collaborate with Accounting on close and reporting accuracy so the model reconciles to actuals, and with Treasury and Capital Markets on cash flow and funding
• Pull your own data using Imprint's BI tools (Looker, Sigma, Tableau, or similar) and synthesize large, imperfect datasets into clear insight
• Identify opportunities to automate processes and increase team autonomy, using AI tooling such as Claude and Cursor to redesign how the work gets done, not just speed up existing reporting
• Support ad hoc strategic projects and business case development
• Present financial insights clearly to senior stakeholders, translating complex outputs into actionable recommendations for finance and non-finance audiences alike

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity packages
• Leading configured work computers of your choice
• Flexible paid time off
• Fully covered, high-quality healthcare, including fully covered dependent coverage
• Additional health coverage includes access to One Medical and the option to enroll in an FSA
• 20 weeks of paid parental leave for the primary caregiver and 8 weeks for all new parents
• Access to industry-leading technology across all of our business units, stemming from our philosophy that we should invest in resources for our team that foster innovation, optimization, and productivity
