About the role
We are looking for a Strategic Finance Senior Lead to be the portfolio-level finance partner for two of Faire's most important new-customer growth engines: International expansion and Retailer Growth (R&D Product led and acquisition across our channel portfolio).
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree and 7+ years work experience in strategic finance (preferred), private equity / venture capital, investment banking, and/or management consulting
- Systems thinker: builds frameworks and financial infrastructure from scratch, not just runs existing models. Comfortable creating the reporting and telemetry that turns raw data into a decision-ready narrative
- Portfolio-level synthesis: able to zoom out across multiple channels and markets, connect the dots, and form a clear, high-conviction point of view on where the biggest consolidated growth opportunities lie
- AI-forward working style: actively experiments with AI tools to accelerate and sharpen analytical work — automating rote tasks, pressure-testing assumptions, and generating faster first drafts of complex analyses
- Cross-functional partner: track record building trust and alignment across Product, GTM, Business Development, and Analytics, organized with strong deadline management across concurrent workstreams
- Comfortable with ambiguity and long-horizon analysis — energized by open-ended, forward-looking questions and a get-things-done mindset, resourceful and willing to roll up sleeves to move forward tactically
