Our mission is to build the world’s leading platform for hourly workers and enterprises enabling flexibility, choice, and upward social mobility. Join a rocketship. This is a unique opportunity to join the ground floor of a rapidly scaling business that is changing the way hourly labor works and capturing a $2 trillion dollar opportunity in the US alone.

Team Mission: The Strategic Finance team exists to help the company make better, faster decisions about where to invest time and money. We partner closely with operating teams to turn business activity into clear financial insight - whether that’s pricing new customers, forecasting performance, or understanding profitability at the customer or market level. By translating operational decisions into P&L impact, this role ensures capital is allocated to the highest-return opportunities and that efficiency in our current operations unlocks additional growth. Our success is measured by the ability our team has on influencing strategic and operational choices that improve unit economics, increase efficiency across the P&L, and enable leadership to proactively allocate resources as the business scales. This role is based in New York City (HQ) with typically 3+ days per week in the office.
