Manager of Strategic Finance
VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole self to work everyday. We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values. People who say “I’ll find a way” instead of saying “it can’t be done.”
We are looking for a Manager of Strategic Finance who will play a critical role on a team that combines strategy, analytics and financial analyses to enable the Company to scale successfully. This role will support VideoAmp to accelerate the sustainable growth of our business model by identifying relevant investment opportunities, economic effects of a set of decisions, along with the associated trade-offs.
Reporting to the Director of Finance, the Manager of Strategic Finance will be responsible for providing strategic recommendations supported by relevant analyses to drive executive decisions tied to investments, capital allocation, business transformation, pricing and key unit economics. The Manager of Strategic Finance will provide regular reporting through various financial and analytic models at different granularity levels to drive operational and strategic insights.
On top of financial modeling mastery, this position requires excellent communication skills to support the inherent exposure to key stakeholders within and around the company (CFO, CEO, CRO, Corporate Development and investors). Additionally, we are looking for someone who is comfortable performing in a fast-paced, ambiguous working environment and driven to solve problems.
The right person for this role is someone who is accomplished in the areas of finance, strategy and analysis and is ready to support the objectives of a highly cross-functional, fast-growing organization. If you are also passionate about all things data and tech and have knowledge or a high interest in the linear and advertising space, then this is a great role for you.
