Senior Strategic Finance Manager

Strategic Finance Manager

Strategic Finance at Possible sits at the intersection of three horizons: the recurring FP&A rigor that keeps the business running, near-term collaboration and modeling that shapes upcoming product and capital decisions, and long-term strategy that sets our 35 year path. The Sr. Strategic Finance Manager owns this full range - acting as both a hands-on expert in our core forecasting and reporting processes and the person actively automating that work, so that the function truly scales in strategic focus. This is a senior, high-visibility role contributing as a finance team leader with regular exposure to the executive team and Board.

Responsibilities include:

• Own and continuously improve core forecasting, budgeting, and variance-analysis processes, including recurring deliverables like consolidated flash and product level forecasting, KPI tracking, headcount and opex BvA reporting, and ensuring the accuracy and functionality of the consolidated financial model - while actively automating this work using AI tools, SQL, and data platforms (e.g., Databricks and Sigma) to cut cycle time and manual error
• Own quarterly Board reporting materials and monthly business reviews, translating dense data into clear, decision-ready narratives for cross-departmental team leads, executives, and the Board
• Build and enhance financial models that quantify the impact of near-term business decisions - new product launches, pricing changes, and major capital structure events
• Partner with the Treasury and Capital Markets team on debt and equity financing decisions, liquidity and covenant analysis, enterprise value improvements, and investment evaluation
• Lead cross-functional financial analysis for new product initiatives, translating test design, desired outcomes, unit economics, and revenue-recognition implications into a clear financial picture in partnership with Product, Credit/Underwriting, Marketing, Accounting, and Business Operations
• Run scenario and sensitivity analyses to help identify viable strategic paths to explore, collaborating with executive leadership on direction and Business Operations on the underlying financial impact - translating findings into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership
• Maintain finance documentation and playbooks, specifically leveraging AI and other tools, so recurring processes stay scalable and increasingly automated, freeing time for higher-impact strategic work

Requirements include:

• 5+ years of FP&A, corporate finance, transaction advisory, private equity, or investment banking experience; fintech and/or growth-stage company experience strongly preferred
• Proven experience building and maintaining sophisticated, multi-scenario financial models spanning the three financial statements (expertise in how all three statements interact is a must), capital structure, and debt instruments
• Demonstrated success automating recurring finance workflows with AI tools, SQL, and/or data platforms (e.g., Databricks) this role is expected to actively drive AI adoption within the finance function, not just use existing tools
• Comfortable operating across time horizons: rigorous ownership of day-to-day forecasting and reporting alongside meaningful contribution to multi-year strategic planning
• Excel expert; hands-on SQL or direct data-querying experience strongly preferred
• Strong executive presence able to distill complex analysis into crisp, Board-ready narratives and influence senior stakeholders
• Self-directed, intellectually curious strategic problem solver with outstanding written/verbal communication skills, strong cross-functional collaboration (Accounting, Treasury, Product, executive leadership), and the ability to earn influence without authority
