Full Job Description
What You'll Do
  • Build and own Concourse's operating model: revenue forecasting, unit economics, headcount planning, and scenario analysis across the business
  • Partner with the CEO on strategic decisions (new market entry, pricing, capital allocation, and partnership economics) by building the models that frame the options clearly
  • Develop and maintain KPIs and financial reporting that give leadership a real-time view of the business: what's working, what's at risk, and where to push harder
  • Lead ad-hoc analyses as the business demands: competitive benchmarking, build vs. buy analysis, contract economics, and investor-facing materials
  • Drive fundraise preparation and investor communications, bringing a banker's polish to the data room, the model, and the narrative
  • Build the financial infrastructure from scratch: the processes, templates, and reporting cadence that will scale with the company
  • Serve as the internal finance partner to company leadership, helping them understand what the numbers mean and how to use them
  • Use AI tools to scale your work: automating reporting, accelerating analysis, and building leverage a traditional finance team gets from headcount

What We're Looking For
  • 3-4 years of combined investment banking and private equity experience
  • Elite financial modeling and forecasting skills; you can build a three-statement model, bottoms-up revenue forecast, or KPI dashboard from a blank spreadsheet
  • Sharp instincts for the story behind the numbers. You don't just report metrics, you interpret them and recommend action
  • AI-pilled: you already use tools like Claude to 10x your output, you reach for AI before you reach for an analyst, and you want to build a finance function that's AI-native from day one
  • Ability to operate independently in an unstructured environment; there's no playbook here, and you'll need to write it
  • Clear, direct communicator, comfortable presenting analysis to a founder/CEO and pushing back when the assumptions don't hold
  • Based in NYC + work in-person in Flatiron (5 days/week)
