About the Team
We’re looking to expand our Finance & Strategy team in Mexico City (Remote). The Finance & Strategy team accelerates the growth of our business by implementing new opportunities and solutions. We partner with teams across the company to improve the profitability, scalability, and defensibility of our business model. We’re looking for people who can model the future, and collaborate to help carry projects from conception through execution.
About the Role
This fast-paced role provides a unique opportunity to drive finance business partnership and strategy at a hyper-growth company. We are looking for a Sales Finance Senior Associate who will play an integral role in supporting our Go-to-Market teams. You will partner with teams across the business including Merchant Strategy & Operations, Merchant Experience, Sales, Product GMs, Accounting and Finance to support strategic business and financial decisions. You will help evaluate and set budgets, quotas and commercial investments, help develop new comp and HC plans, and partner with operators to improve Return on investment/payback, support our OPEX forecast and more. We are looking for someone with a combination of banking/consulting and operating experience who has partnered or led projects across multiple organizations. You will have data and communication skills to influence data-driven decisions.
You're excited about this opportunity because you will…
+ Work with partners to develop new processes and investment frameworks
+ Work to increase our approach to balancing growth vs. profitability
+ Identify and measure important risks and opportunities in our business
+ Analyze business/financial measurements, uncover trends and assess current/future business risks and opportunities
We’re excited about you because…
+ Creating structure from ambiguity. You know how to take very broad challenges or opportunities and turn them into actionable projects with clear milestones and goals, with minimal guidance.
+ Indirect leadership. You excel at building cross-functional relationships, gaining input & consensus from key stakeholders, and knowing how to motivate and organize teams behind a shared goal.
+ Insatiable curiosity. You are constantly exploring, asking questions, and working to uncover new insights about our business.
+ Expert investigative skills. You quickly and easily manipulate millions of transactions or events to find patterns and discover new opportunities.
+ Self starter. You take the initiative, and are always looking for new ways to contribute and make an impact.
+ Relentless. Things never quite go according to plan. You have the determination and grit to keep working a problem as new challenges emerge, together with the flexibility to adjust plans or strategies as needed.
+ Ownership mentality. You roll up your sleeves and do whatever is necessary to drive results, even if it’s outside your normal areas of focus.
+ Get-it-done attitude. You’re not afraid of long hours, able to handle stress well, humble and scrappy!
+ Expert financial modeling. Your models are efficient, scalable and intuitive. We generally switch between Excel and SQL depending on the need -- Excel for simpler analyses & outputs, and SQL to run simulations at the delivery or customer level.
What We’re Looking For
+ 4+ years of strategic finance, corporate finance, or investment banking experience in a high-growth technology sector
+ Ability to influence cross functional partners at all levels
+ Experience managing budgets for various teams
