We are looking for a true thought leader and people leader. A successful candidate is self-motivated, hands-on when it counts, and comfortable operating as both an individual strategic contributor and a manager who builds a high-performing team. This role is fast-paced and will have a direct, visible impact on the company’s ability to make key business decisions and grow efficiently.

This position reports to the Chief Financial Officer.

Your day-to-day:

  • Build, lead, and develop Greenlight’s strategic finance team, setting priorities, coaching managers and analysts, and scaling the function as the company grows.
  • Serve as the primary strategic finance partner to the CFO and executive leadership team, shaping company-wide strategy, investment decisions, and key trade-offs.
  • Own the end-to-end financial model and company-wide planning cycle — long-range planning, annual budgeting, and quarterly forecasting — across all departments.
  • Direct detailed custom financial modeling, scenario analysis, and market insights for the product, engineering, marketing, and commercial sales teams on prospective products and initiatives.
  • Own variance analysis of actual results vs. budget/forecast, and partner with business leaders to drive insightful, actionable decision support at the executive level.
  • Lead the preparation and delivery of board-level reporting and strategic materials.
  • Partner with the Accounting team on month-end and quarter-end close processes and audit support, ensuring alignment between FP&A and accounting.
  • Lead analysis and diligence for potential strategic acquisitions, partnerships, or investment opportunities, and present recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Represent the finance function in cross-departmental strategic planning, OKR setting, and company-wide operating rhythms.
  • What you’ll bring to the team:

  • 8–10+ years of progressive experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or venture capital, including experience managing and developing people (FinTech or consumer subscription and/or startup experience strongly preferred).
  • Demonstrated track record leading company-wide planning processes (budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning) at a venture-backed or high-growth company.
  • Strong leadership and executive communication skills.
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets modeling and technical skills; experience with FP&A software (e.g., Adaptive, Anaplan, Pigment, AI native tools) a plus.
  • Excellent analytical skills and strategic mindset.
  • Proven ability to influence and drive alignment across functions and levels, including at the executive and board level.
  • Strong accounting and systems knowledge.
  • Strong data visualization skills and an ability to synthesize complicated analyses in simple, actionable ways for senior stakeholders.
  • Enthusiasm to learn and evolve your own skillset, and to grow the skillset of your team, over time.
  • Proven people leader with experience building, managing, and developing high-performing finance teams.
  • Exceptional executive presence — comfortable presenting to and influencing the CFO, executive team, investors and board, and unafraid to speak up on critical issues.
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to translate ambiguous business problems into structured financial frameworks and clear recommendations.
  • Strong ownership mentality; detail-oriented and committed to producing work at a high standard while delegating effectively.
  • Creative mindset for building bespoke financial models for a diverse set of cross-functional needs.
  • Data-driven approach to analyzing problems and supporting decisions.
  • Adaptability and flexibility, comfortable operating in a startup environment that requires the ability to pivot when necessary.
  • Not sure this one’s for you? Don’t count yourself out. Show us what you’ve got and we’ll reach out if there’s a great fit.
