You will collaborate with marketplace leaders to translate financial levers into performance insights, manage quarterly forecasts, and craft board materials, delivering clear, executive-ready narratives.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, investing, or finance operations experience, ideally in a high-growth or multi-entity environment.
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to summarize a complex result for a senior audience.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets and financial modeling skills, including driver-based models.

• Solid working knowledge of GAAP and financial management processes.

• Able to influence and align partners across a matrixed organization without direct authority.
• Comfortable building with an AI-first mindset, while also working in financial systems and tools (e.g., NetSuite, Workday); quick to learn new platforms, with strong data quality instincts.
• Experience in a consumer goods or digital marketplace business with meaningful operational components (e.g., CPG, e-commerce), with working knowledge of marketplace unit economics.
• MBA, CPA, or CFA
• Experience standing up or materially rebuilding a planning process, rather than inheriting a mature one
• Experience directing the work of an analyst on shared deliverables
• Passionate about collectibles and/or sports

• Contribute to quarterly consolidated forecast; own GMV, revenue, and OpEx inputs and draft accompanying analysis.
• Prepare analysis and narrative behind quarterly board materials, board books, and executive reporting packages.
