Job description

What we do and why we do it

As the leading end-to-end investment platform for single-family rental homes (SFR), our mission is to reinvent the rental housing ecosystem for the benefit of all. We successfully merge our passion for helping investors build wealth through real estate with cutting edge technology that transforms the way they do it.

How it’s going (and growing)

With a talented team of 750+ Roofsters, our collaborative, can-do culture is what fuels our growth. In 2022, we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in the Bay Area and New York City. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Stessa (financial and asset management software), RentPrep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both Retail and Institutional investors). In 2025, Roofstock took an ownership stake in Casago (short-term rental management services), expanding our platform to support both long-term and short-term rental investment services.

We are seeking a highly motivated and analytical Strategic Finance and Corporate Development Manager to join our growing team. This individual will play a key role in shaping the company’s strategic direction, evaluating growth opportunities, and supporting key corporate initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions.

  • Participate in due diligence, deal structuring, and integration planning across functional teams.
  • Collaborate with Legal, Finance, and external advisors to manage transaction executions.
• Financial Analysis & Performance Tracking
  • Prepare high-quality presentations and reports for executive leadership and board meetings.
  • Analyze KPIs, financial performance, and ROI for strategic initiatives and investments.
  • Develop dashboards and reporting tools to track corporate development metrics and pipeline.
• Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Act as a thought partner to business units on high-impact initiatives (e.g., pricing, expansion, strategic partnerships).
  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders to align corporate development initiatives with business objectives.
