About Possible

Since our founding, we’ve delivered over $1 billion in funding to more than 1 million customers and saved them over $500 million. At Possible, we’re building a new kind of consumer finance company, one that helps people stay out of debt rather than profit from keeping them in it.

About the Role

Strategic Finance at Possible sits at the intersection of three horizons: the recurring FP&A rigor that keeps the business running, near-term collaboration and modeling that shapes upcoming product and capital decisions, and long-term strategy that sets our 3–5 year path. The Sr. Strategic Finance Manager owns this full range - acting as both a hands-on expert in our core forecasting and reporting processes and the person actively automating that work, so that the function truly scales in strategic focus. This is a senior, high-visibility role contributing as a finance team leader with regular exposure to the executive team and Board.

Responsibilities
  • Own and continuously improve core forecasting, budgeting, and variance-analysis processes, including recurring deliverables like consolidated flash and product level forecasting, KPI tracking, headcount and opex BvA reporting, and ensuring the accuracy and functionality of the consolidated financial model - while actively automating this work using AI tools, SQL, and data platforms (e.g., Databricks and Sigma) to cut cycle time and manual error

  • Own quarterly Board reporting materials and monthly business reviews, translating dense data into clear, decision-ready narratives for cross-departmental team leads, executives, and the Board

  • Build and enhance financial models that quantify the impact of near-term business decisions - new product launches, pricing changes, and major capital structure events

  • Partner with the Treasury and Capital Markets team on debt and equity financing decisions, liquidity and covenant analysis, enterprise value improvements, and investment evaluation

  • Lead cross-functional financial analysis for new product initiatives, translating test design, desired outcomes, unit economics, and revenue-recognition implications into a clear financial picture in partnership with Product, Credit/Underwriting, Marketing, Accounting, and Business Operations

  • Run scenario and sensitivity analyses to help identify viable strategic paths to explore, collaborating with executive leadership on direction and Business Operations on the underlying financial impact - translating findings into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership

  • Maintain finance documentation and playbooks, specifically leveraging AI and other tools, so recurring processes stay scalable and increasingly automated, freeing time for higher-impact strategic work

Requirements
  • 5+ years of FP&A, corporate finance, transaction advisory, private equity, or investment banking experience; fintech and/or growth-stage company experience strongly preferred

  • Proven experience building and maintaining sophisticated, multi-scenario financial models spanning the three financial statements (expertise in how all three statements interact is a must), capital structure, and debt instruments

  • Demonstrated success automating recurring finance workflows with AI tools, SQL, and/or data platforms (e.g., Databricks) — this role is expected to actively drive AI adoption within the finance function, not just use existing tools

  • Comfortable operating across time horizons: rigorous ownership of day-to-day forecasting and reporting alongside meaningful contribution to multi-year strategic planning

  • Excel expert; hands-on SQL or direct data-querying experience strongly preferred

  • Strong executive presence — able to distill complex analysis into crisp, Board-ready narratives and influence senior stakeholders

  • Self-directed, intellectually curious strategic problem solver with outstanding written/verbal communication skills, strong cross-functional collaboration (Accounting, Treasury, Product, executive leadership), and the ability to earn influence without authority

Location

This is a Hybrid position. We work in our centrally located office in downtown Seattle three days a week (M, T, and Th).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
