48d•$150,000 - $185,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Engine is on a mission to transform how travel is booked and experienced. As we scale rapidly, we're seeking a strategic finance leader to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our growth engine. This is not a traditional FP&A Lead role — it's an opportunity to sit at the intersection of Finance, Strategy, and Go-to-Market (GTM), helping us unlock deeper insights and drive smarter, faster decisions. You will act as a strategic thought partner and leader to GTM leadership, owning key forecasting models, executive-level reporting, and high-impact analyses. In this individual contributor role, you’ll be instrumental in shaping how Engine acquires, grows, and retains customers — supporting everything from performance optimization to long-range planning and board-level presentations.

Requirements

Proven Experience: 5+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or consulting, with significant exposure to GTM or SaaS operating models.
Prior experience in fintech and/or high-growth startups.
Business Acumen: Deep understanding of GTM economics — CAC, LTV, churn, funnel metrics, sales efficiency — and how to apply them to strategic planning and growth.
Analytical Excellence: Advanced modeling skills in Excel (or Google Sheets), and fluency in tools like Salesforce, Looker, Tableau, or similar. Experience with planning systems like Adaptive, Anaplan, or Mosaic is a plus.
Executive Presence: Ability to synthesize complex data into clear narratives for C-suite and board audiences; comfortable influencing senior stakeholders with data-backed recommendations.
Mindset: Strategic, proactive, and resourceful. You take ownership, dive into ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

Lead financial and operational analysis across Sales, Account Management, Partnerships, and Marketing to identify growth levers and improve pipeline health, CAC, LTV, sales velocity, and retention.
Design and lead frameworks that provide meaningful, decision-driving insights for senior leadership and board meetings.
Own and evolve high-impact financial models (e.g., bookings forecast, partnerships ROI, CAC payback) that inform quarterly targets, hiring plans, and investment decisions.
Partner cross-functionally with RevOps, Marketing, and Product to define KPIs, evaluate strategic initiatives, and measure performance across key growth experiments.
Drive forward-looking GTM strategy, including funnel conversion analysis, customer segmentation, territory design, and resource allocation models.
Mentor junior finance team members, fostering skill development and analytical rigor. As the team scales, take on direct management responsibilities, helping to build a high-performing Finance & Strategy function.
