What we do:

We are seeking an experienced FP&A Associate Manager to lead revenue and take rate finance for a core
area of our business. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that combines deep analytical
ownership with strategic influence. You will serve as the go-to financial expert for take rate and
revenue economics, drive forecasting and planning processes, and lead special projects that
shape how leadership understands and grows the business. Success in this role requires not
just financial acumen but genuine intellectual curiosity about how our products work — you will
need to get inside the product, understand the commercial levers, and build that understanding
into every model and narrative you produce.

What you'll do:

• Own end-to-end revenue and take rate modeling: develop and maintain the authoritative
  financial model for platform revenue, covering pricing structure, volume dynamics,
  product mix, and client segmentation.
• Become the internal expert on product economics — deeply understand how platform
  features, auction mechanics, pricing decisions, and client behavior affect take rate and
  revenue outcomes.
• Lead the monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue planning cycle: drive forecast
  submissions, prepare variance commentary, and present results to senior finance and
  business leadership.
• Serve as the primary finance partner to product, commercial, and data teams on all
  things revenue — including new product launches, pricing changes, and commercial
  agreements.
• Design and build financial models for new products and strategic pricing initiatives;
  quantify expected revenue impact across scenarios and present recommendations to
  leadership.
• Produce executive-quality deliverables: own the revenue narrative in board
  presentations, QBRs, investor materials, and CFO briefings.
• Lead and execute special projects across the finance agenda — from strategic deep-
  dives and competitive analysis to cross-functional initiatives and operational
  improvements.
• Mentor and develop junior FP&A team members; provide guidance on modeling best
  practices, stakeholder communication, and analytical frameworks.

Who you are: 

• 6+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, or
  management consulting.
• Proven track record of owning complex revenue models and delivering accurate,
  insightful forecasts in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong ability — and genuine interest — in understanding how products and platforms
  work commercially, and turning that understanding into rigorous financial analysis.
• Experience driving exec-facing deliverables: you are comfortable owning a narrative,
  structuring a story, and presenting to C-suite and board-level audiences.
• Advanced Excel/Sheets modeling skills; proficiency in SQL strongly preferred;
  experience with BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Mode, etc.).
• Exceptional communication skills — you translate complexity into clarity and influence
  decisions at the highest levels of the organization.
• High accountability, ownership mindset, and the ability to operate autonomously in
  ambiguous situations.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field; MBA or CFA a
  plus.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in adtech, programmatic advertising, marketplace, or other platform
  businesses where take rate is a core revenue metric.
• Prior experience building revenue models for new product or pricing launches from the
  ground up.
• Familiarity with gross vs. net revenue accounting, partner economics, or auction-based
  pricing frameworks.
