Head of Strategic Finance

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2024 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

About the Role:

As a senior leader reporting directly to the CFO, you will drive high-impact projects that impact the whole of Flex.  You will be directly leading the Strategic Finance team, a centralized group of business experts who own financial predictability, drive ROI maximization and serve as connective tissue between internal business operations, external perspectives and key strategic decisioning. This involves both direct ownership, as well as indirect influence to drive decisions that affect the long term trajectory of our business.  This position is ideal for a seasoned Finance professional who excels in big-picture strategic thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and process optimization.  

This is a hybrid position with on-site expectations of 3 days per week in our New York Headquarters. For candidates outside the NY/NJ area, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead, grow and optimize our strategic finance team with high degrees of analytical rigor, cross-functional collaboration and a broad skill set combining finance, data, and strategy
• Collaborate with company and functional leadership to analyze complex business decisions and provide thought partnership through a financial lens
• Create and operate key financial forecasting tools and operating models, partnering with teams across the business to maximize predictability
• Develop, deliver, and maintain insightful reporting on KPIs, growth trends and operational metrics to key internal and external stakeholders
• Create and own the financial planning and budgeting lifecycle, working to shape the financial trajectory of the business and connect operating goals to financial targets
• Identify and execute opportunities to maximize ROI throughout the organization and drive sustainable growth
• Support the Board and Executive team on ad hoc strategy and financial analyses, such as new product launches, expansions, operational changes and M&A opportunities
• Implement new processes, tools, and systems to improve forecasting and reporting accuracy and efficiency
• Support fundraising, capital markets and investor relations activities

What We’re Looking For:

• A Bachelor's Degree, or equivalent degree in Business, Finance, Accounting or relevant field
• 8+ years of finance experience, with at least 3 years in a management role
• Deep understanding of fintech and/or financial services business
• Experience building and managing Finance team
• Desire for a fast-paced, hands on, entrepreneurial environment
• Exceptional interpersonal and presentation skills

The salary compensation range for this role will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks. For working locations such as NY/NJ/CA, the base salary pay range will be $245,000 to $265,000.
