The Role We are seeking a Finance & Strategy Senior Manager to support Proto, Block's bitcoin mining hardware business. In this role, you will help scale our deal processes, support self-mining initiatives, and evaluate new venture opportunities across the bitcoin ecosystem. You will partner closely with product, engineering, legal, and business teams to assess complex transactions, build financial models, and drive strategic decision-making as we expand Proto's platform and operating footprint. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will engage directly with external counterparties, including customers and other external partners, while building financial frameworks, sizing opportunities, and evaluating product and deal economics. The ideal candidate combines traditional finance training (banking, investing, or strategy) with bitcoin fluency and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-moving environment. You will report to the Director of Finance and Strategy.
You Will - Serve as a strategic finance partner to Proto leadership, providing rigorous financial analysis to support decision-making across hardware, self-mining, and infrastructure initiatives.
- Build, own, and maintain end-to-end financial models for Proto programs and ventures, including forecasting, unit economics, and capital allocation across multiple initiatives.
- Develop scenario, sensitivity, and investment analyses to evaluate new deals, self-mining expansions, energy partnerships, and operational changes, clearly articulating short- and long-term tradeoffs and financial impact.
- Support deal structuring and execution with external counterparties, including pricing frameworks, contract economics, counterparty assessment, and evaluation of new venture opportunities across the Bitcoin ecosystem.
- Lead ad-hoc analyses and special projects related to Proto's P&L, capital deployment, performance metrics, and strategic priorities, in close collaboration with F&S and cross-functional partners.
You Have - 8+ years of relevant finance experience, with a strong preference for candidates with an investment banking background and subsequent experience in strategic finance, corporate development, or principal investing roles. Experience in fintech, infrastructure, energy, or digital assets is a plus.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex analyses and drive outcomes on cross-functional, high-impact initiatives, particularly in fast-moving or ambiguous environments.
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to distill complex, unstructured problems into clear frameworks, develop actionable analyses, and communicate recommendations effectively to senior stakeholders.
- Comfort working with financial and operational metrics, building new KPIs, and navigating large or imperfect data sets to inform decision-making.
- Intellectual curiosity and interest in Bitcoin and digital asset infrastructure; prior hands-on experience in the space is beneficial but not required.
- Ability to balance rigor with speed, exercising sound judgment while moving decisively in a dynamic, execution-oriented environment.
