Strategic Finance Manager for Growth & New Opportunities

Jerry; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Jerry is hiring a Strategic Finance Manager to own the operating model, planning cadence, and spend discipline. You will partner with leaders across the company, and work closely with the CFO and founders to translate the numbers into clear strategic guidance.

In this role you will build driver-based models for the base business and new lines, run annual budgeting, monthly forecasts, and craft executive narratives for diligence and board reviews. Strong financial storytelling is essential.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of relevant experience, ideally combining 2+ years at a reputable investment bank, corporate development group, or private equity firm with 2+ years in strategic finance or FP&A at a high-growth company.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a similarly quantitative field.
• Strong financial modeling skills: driver-based operating models, three-statement mechanics, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and a working command of accounting concepts and GAAP.
• Experience with unit economics in a consumer or marketplace business, including CAC

Responsibilities

• Own driver-based operating model for the base business and expand it as we launch new insurance products and business lines.
• Run the annual budget and long-range planning process end to end — cadence, assumptions, stakeholder inputs, and the consolidated plan the executive team commits to.
• Own the monthly and quarterly forecast cycle and variance analysis: Once Accounting closes the books, explain what moved against plan and prior period, why it moved, and what it means for the forecast.
• Write the executive narrative: Translate the financial results into clear business insights for the CFO, the founders, the board, and our investors, at a standard that survives external diligence.
• Lead monthly business reviews: Work with functional leaders and turn what the numbers show into the business decisions that need to be made.
• Support the team in evaluating and implementing a planning system: Assess the options, make the recommendation, and own the rollout.
• Build the business case before a commitment is made, support negotiation on terms, and give budget owners the visibility to manage their own numbers.
