Job description

About Wonder

Everything’s on the menu at Wonder. Except compromise.

Wonder is the mealtime platform built to feed every craving in one order. With Wonder, you can mix and match hundreds of dishes from 20+ exclusive restaurants in a single order, so everyone gets exactly what they’re craving. Enjoy everything from tacos to Thai with $0 delivery fees, plus dine-in or pick up at a Wonder location near you. Each dish is made to order on-site by our culinary team and served hot.

Behind the scenes, Wonder owns and operates every step of the dining experience, from recipe development to the technology that powers our experience, allowing us to deliver quality, variety, and consistency at scale.

Join us as we work to make great food more accessible.

About The Opportunity

You will partner with the Strategic Finance Director to drive lasting improvement in unit economics and capital deployment across the “Unit Operations” and “Development” teams.

The Impact You Will Make

• Store Operations Performance Analysis: Track and optimize unit-level profitability. Analyze store labor efficiencies, waste reduction, kitchen throughput speeds, and supply chain fulfillment costs.
• New Site Underwriting: Own and build the pro-forma business cases for prospective physical locations. Forecast granular store-level P&Ls, cash‑on‑cash yields, IRR, and payback periods. You will analyze how new locations impact existing location performance.
• Investment Committee Prep: Help package and synthesize financial models into clean, executive-level "Go/No-Go" presentation decks for our Real Estate Investment Committee.
• Post‑Opening Audits: Track the actual financial performance of newly opened sites against your original underwriting, identifying variances to continuously improve our forecasting assumptions.
• Capital Expenditure: Own CapEx forecasting.

What You Bring to the Table

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a highly quantitative field.
• 3 to 5+ years of progressive experience in corporate finance, FP&A, or commercial finance within business units.
• Data & Advanced Modeling: Elite financial modeling skills in Excel to build and maintain driver‑based and dynamic models from scratch for ad‑hoc analysis. Ability to navigate SQL, Looker, BigQuery, and other databases to efficiently gather data.
• Problem Solving & Agility: Excellent analytical and critical thinking skills to translate financial data into action, alongside strong troubleshooting skills to diagnose data discrepancies and connect the dots operationally and financially.
• Proactive Problem‑Solver: You possess a keen eye for detail and a natural curiosity that drives you to continuously optimize the business.
• Collaborator: The only way we win is together. You excel at building strong operational relationships and collaborating across departments to influence decision‑makers.
• Gritty & Agile: You thrive in dynamic environments, adeptly analyzing complex financial data to uncover insights. You can pivot without complete information and remain comfortable dealing with ambiguity.
• Communicator: Your strong communication skills allow you to effectively reinforce our strategic and financial priorities across functions.

As a matter of company policy, Wonder does not sponsor applicants for employment visa status for this role.

Our hybrid model requires 3 days a week in the office. That said, many team members choose to come in more often to take advantage of in‑person collaboration and connection. You're welcome—and encouraged—to be in the office up to 5 days a week if it works for you.

New York: $96,000 - $108,000 per year.

Wonder uses geographic‑specific salary structures, which means the salary offered may vary depending on where the job is located. The final salary offer will take into account various factors, such as the candidate's skills, education, training, credentials, and experience.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary package including equity and 401K. Additionally, we provide multiple medical, dental, and vision plans to meet all of our employees' needs as well as many benefits and perks that are not listed.
