Sr. Strategic Finance Manager

About Engine
At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.

To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.

More than 17,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.

Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.

About Engine
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, Go-to-Market (GTM) and Supply, helping us unlock deeper insights and drive smarter, faster decisions.

About the Role
You will act as a strategic thought partner and leader to Supply 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.

What You’ll Own and Drive

• Strategic Insights & Performance Analysis
  Lead financial and operational analysis across Supply Sales and Partnerships, Pricing, and new product lines including Flights, Cars and Fintech to identify growth levers and improve execution.
• Executive & Board-Level Reporting
  Design and lead frameworks that provide meaningful, decision-driving insights for senior leadership and board meetings.
• Modeling & Forecasting Infrastructure
  Own and evolve high-impact financial models (e.g., revenue forecast, partnerships ROI, CAC payback) that inform quarterly targets, hiring plans, and investment decisions.
• KPI Definition & Business Case Leadership
  Partner cross-functionally with Supply, Pricing, and Product to define KPIs, evaluate strategic initiatives, and measure performance across key growth experiments.
• Strategy & Investment Planning
  Drive forward-looking GTM strategy, including new product acceleration, resource allocation and addressable market analytics.
  
  

What You'll Bring

• Proven Experience: 5+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or consulting, with significant exposure to GTM, Fintech, 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.
• Mentorship & Team Leadership 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.

Applications for this role will be accepted through 1/9/26 or until the role is filled. We encourage you to apply early, as we may begin reviewing applications before the deadline.
