Job summary

Jerry.ai is hiring a Strategic Finance Manager to own the operating model, planning cycle, and spend discipline. You will partner with functional leaders and report to the VP of Finance, helping guide decisions as Jerry expands into new product lines and markets.

You’ll build driver-based models, run annual budgets, and craft executive narratives for the CFO and founders. If you thrive in a fast-growth environment and love turning data into clear, investable insights, this is your role at Jerry.

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.
• A 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, LTV, payback, cohort retention, and contribution margin.
• A track record of translating complex analysis into a clear narrative for an executive or investor audience.
• Startup or high‑growth experience strongly preferred, including building financial processes from scratch.
• Hands‑on fluency with AI tools for analysis, research, and workflow automation.

Responsibilities

• Own the operating model and forecast cycle.
• 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: explain movements against plan and prior period, and what it means for the forecast.
• Write the executive narrative: translate financial results into clear business insights for the CFO, founders, board, and investors.
• Lead monthly business reviews: collaborate with functional leaders and translate numbers into business decisions.
• Support the team in evaluating and implementing a planning system: assess options, make recommendations, and own rollout.
• Build the financial model for new product, vertical, channel or partnership: size the market, model economics, evaluate capital commitment.
• Read results back against the case and monitor CAC, LTV, payback, cohort retention, and contribution margin.
