About the job

As a member of the Finance and Strategy team, you won’t just report on the business—you will help shape the strategic decisions that drive it. Your day-to-day mission is to help our leaders make high-stakes decisions across Hopper’s verticals by merging deep financial intuition with AI-accelerated technical execution and forward-looking modeling.

We are moving away from manual, static modeling. We want a builder who can architect long-range models, stress-test assumptions, and bring structured thinking to ambiguous, high-stakes questions. We also want a builder who views Claude and other LLMs as core teammates to automate workflows, architect complex SQL, and develop long-term FP&A tooling.

What would your day-to-day look like

• Business Partnering: Act as a strategic thought partner to business leaders, building and owning the financial models that translate complex operational drivers into clear strategic recommendations

• Predictive Strategic Planning Focus: Architect long-range forecasting models and engines that go beyond static spreadsheets. You’ll use AI to simulate "what-if" scenarios, helping the business navigate short-term volatility while building a resilient, code-based roadmap for the next 3–5 years.

• Technical Infrastructure & Automation: Build and maintain the code-based systems that power our finance engine. You’ll leverage Claude to write, debug, and optimize complex SQL and Big Query workflows to automate real-time dashboards and weekly performance briefings, ensuring our financial reporting is scalable and automated.

• Cross-Functional Finance Support: Partner with teams across the business — including Sales and Media — on forecasting, unit economics, and performance tracking as priorities evolve

• A degree in Business, Strategy, Finance, Math, Engineering, or other quantitative discipline

• 5-7+ years of experience in a top tier tech company

• Entrepreneurial spirit, ability to work autonomously; builder mindset

• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills, with strong 3-statement modeling experience

Perks and benefits of working with us:

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages.

• Unlimited PTO.

• Carrot Cash travel stipend.

• Access to co-working space on demand through FlexDesk AND Work-from-home stipend.
