Job description

About Neon

Neon is a global payments and e-commerce platform designed to help game publishers earn more money and independence from app stores. We believe commerce should be open and transparent: clear decisions, actionable insights, and aligned incentives. Founded by payments, fintech and gaming veterans, Neon focuses on product and partnership excellence: we share the playbook, co-pilot decisions, and abstract away risk and complexity for our customers. We’re replacing old-school, black-box relics with clear, modern, and developer-centric infrastructure.

As an early team member, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and scale Neon’s product and culture, making a direct impact on our growth and success. You’ll join a collaborative, diverse team from world-class companies like Apple, Affirm, Unity, and Visa, backed by renowned VC’s including Thrive, a16z, Griffin Gaming, Ribbit, and Renegade. If you want to build disruptive technology, challenge the status quo, and help game creators thrive on their own terms, read on.

About The Role

Join a high-growth gaming fintech processing transactions across multiple markets and help build the financial engine underneath it. As an early member of Neon's finance team, you'll work directly with leadership to translate our complex business into models, forecasts, and reporting that drive decisions.

This is a rare early-career seat. Rather than being boxed into one product line's variance report at a large corporation, you'll get broad exposure across revenue recognition, unit economics, and board reporting, with real ownership from day one. The core challenge is bringing rigor and clarity to numbers that touch payments, FX, tax, and player behavior all at once.

This role is right for someone early in their finance career, ideally with a banking or corporate finance foundation, who wants to build in a fast-moving environment rather than inherit a mature process.

Responsibilities

Modeling & Forecasting

• Build and maintain financial models covering revenue, GMV, take rate, and operating expenses.
• Support the budgeting and forecasting cycle, including driver-based and rolling forecasts.
• Model the financial impact of pricing changes, new market launches, and product initiatives.

Reporting & Analysis

• Own recurring management reporting: monthly variance analysis (actuals vs. budget/forecast), KPI dashboards, and commentary.
• Support monthly board reporting and investor materials alongside finance leadership.

Decision Support

• Partner with Customer Success and Sales on unit economics and deal modeling.
• Provide ad hoc analysis for pricing, market expansion, and cost optimization questions.
• Turn multi-source data into clear, decision-ready insight.

Operational Finance

• Support multi-payment service provider reconciliation and month-end close.
• Help build repeatable processes and controls as the finance function scales.
• Assist with data preparation and quality control across financial systems.
• Take on ad hoc projects across the finance function, including multi-jurisdiction tax compliance support, treasury, equity management, and AP/AR.

What You'll Bring

• ~2 years in finance: investment banking, FP&A, corporate finance, or similar (banking preferred).
• Strong Excel and financial modeling skills, and comfort working with large, imperfect datasets.
• A clear communicator who can translate numbers into a story for non-finance stakeholders.
• Detail-oriented and organized, able to own recurring deliverables without hand-holding.

Bonus Points

• Exposure to fintech, payments, or e-commerce infrastructure.
• Gaming industry interest or experience (monetization, LiveOps, player economics).
• Familiarity with Merchant of Record, tax/VAT/GST, or multi-jurisdiction finance.

Compensation Range: $100K - $115K
