• Lead scenario planning and sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes in interest rates, member behavior, credit performance, competitive dynamics, and other key business drivers
• Develop business cases for major initiatives and establish post-investment measurement processes to evaluate realized returns, surface learnings, and improve future capital-allocation decisions
• Synthesize complex analyses into clear, compelling recommendations and communicate business performance, risks, and opportunities to Executive Leadership
• Identify and scale high-impact AI use cases that expand Strategic Finance’s capabilities, capacity, and analytical rigor
• Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing team while fostering strong cross-functional collaboration, accountability, inclusion, and mentorship within and outside of Finance

What you’ll need:

• 12+ years of experience in Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, FP&A, investment banking, or a related field, ideally within fintech or consumer financial services
• Deep expertise in consumer financial-services economics, with a strong command of Credit Card unit economics and P&L dynamics
• Demonstrated expertise analyzing unit economics, including LTV/CAC, payback periods, and risk-adjusted returns, across cohorts, channels, products, and segments
• Expert financial modeling and scenario-analysis skills, including the ability to build driver-based models from scratch and analyze large data sets
• Fluency with AI tools and demonstrated ability to apply them to financial modeling, analysis, workflow automation, and decision support
• Ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations and influence senior decision-makers
• Creative and strategic problem-solving skills, with the ability to bring structure to ambiguous business questions
• Track record of building strong cross-functional relationships and driving decisions across Product, Marketing, Risk, Operations, and other functions
