Finance Manager

Scopely is looking for a Finance Manager to join our Live Finance team and support the Max Division in Culver City on a hybrid basis, working three days a week from the hub. We are also open to remote candidates in the U.S.

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues, or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily. 

Show us the money! As the Finance team, we’re number crunchers with top-notch analytical and reporting skills. As a shared service, we get to work with all of Scopely's talented studios.

What You Will Do 

We seek a highly analytical and strategic Finance Manager to support the Max Division. Reporting to the Senior Director of Finance, you will collaborate with Max Division leadership to provide in-depth financial analysis to support their vision. You will be responsible for managing key inputs for Scopely's financial operating model, leading forecasting and budgeting efforts while providing critical insights on the company's performance and identifying areas for optimization.

At Scopely, we move fast, and things change constantly. Some of the responsibilities will be well-defined, while many others will be ambiguous. As such, the successful candidate should thrive in ambiguity, prioritize ruthlessly, and problem-solve with minimal oversight. In this position, you will be a critical pillar in the Max Division and Live Finance Team, providing deep insights and analytical expertise to help drive the business while constantly seeking continuous improvement. We are looking for individuals who embody our culture tenets: play to win, iterate to greatness, ignite passion, inspire loyalty, embrace the adventure, and care deeply. 

• Serve as the dedicated Finance Business Partner for the Max Division, including the President, COO, and GMs. Develop insightful presentations summarizing key data points to facilitate decision-making for Max leadership.
• Oversee the Max Division’s entire financial rhythm, including yearly budgeting, monthly reporting against actuals, quarterly forecast updates, and resource and headcount planning. Deliver in-depth KPI-based revenue forecasts, scenario analyses, and internal and external benchmarking to inform strategic decisions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Marketing and Tech Ops to support company-wide initiatives focused on cost optimizations and efficiencies. Support the marketing governance framework through financial modeling and NPV analysis to ensure we are maximizing our user acquisition investments. 
• Serve as a bar raiser in finance, fostering a problem-solving and hands-on culture while constantly seeking continuous improvement and automation. Build collaborative partnerships with business partners and the greater finance team to ensure alignment and effective communication.

What We’re Looking For 

• 5+ years of finance experience; 
• Experience in start-ups, technology, investment banking, corporate finance, or strategic consulting is required; gaming industry experience is strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to build and maintain strong partnerships with senior leadership and business partners via effective verbal and written communication
• Ability to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with minimal oversight
• Exceptional analytical abilities with proficiency in MS Office or Google Workspace with emphasis on Excel or Sheets.
• Strong multitasking and problem-solving skills with minimal oversight.
• A strong desire for continuous improvement and the ability to work well under ambiguity and pressure.

Bonus Points:

• MBA is a plus.
• Experience in a roll-up-your-sleeves environment is a plus.
• Experience with Workday, Adaptive Insights, AI Tools (ChatGPT / Claude / etc.), Looker, or other financial planning software is a plus.
