The Finance & Strategy team contributes to Collectors' mission by enabling decision making with key financial insights. The team partners with our senior business leaders to support strong operational management of the business and to facilitate strategic decision making focused on key growth investments, operational improvements, new business opportunities, and strategic transactions.

We are looking for a Manager to join our Marketplace Finance & Strategy team, supporting our rapidly expanding businesses in the collectibles marketplace space. This role owns several of the core planning and reporting processes of the Marketplace F&S function - annual operating plans, long range plans, consolidated expense budgeting and forecasting, headcount planning, BU-level allocation processes, and our planning systems - and contributes the analysis behind our quarterly forecast, annual operating plan, and executive and board reporting.

You'll report to the Senior Director, Marketplace Finance & Strategy. This role is based at our Santa Ana, CA headquarters or our Jersey City office, with flexibility for a hybrid work schedule.

What You'll Do:

Strategic Finance Partner

• Partner with the Marketplace business leaders to improve operating teams' understanding of their financial levers/ performance and optimize long term strategy
• Communicate key financial and operational metrics to create transparency into performance and inform strategic and operational decisions
• Support strategic long range planning (LRP) and scenario analysis for growth investments and strategic decisions of the business

Close, Forecasting & Planning

• Track business performance against budget via monthly forecast updates, and provide transparency to business leaders via reporting and live reviews
• Manage the annual operating plan (AOP) cycle and quarterly planning cycles across Marketplace business units (PowerPacks, Consignment, PSA Exchange, Lending, Vault) - templates, submissions, iteration with BU leaders, and consolidation into the plan
• Contribute to the quarterly consolidated forecast - own Marketplace GMV, revenue, and OpEx inputs, review consolidated output for accuracy, and draft the accompanying analysis

Executive & Board Reporting

• Prepare the analysis and draft narrative behind quarterly board materials, board books, and executive reporting packages
• Build clear, credible materials for an executive audience, with a bias toward over-communication when results diverge from plan

Who You Are:

• 5-8 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, investing, or finance operations experience, ideally in a high-growth or multi-entity environment
• Experience partnering directly with function or business leaders on their budgets, and holding them to plan
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets and financial modeling skills, including driver-based models
• Comfortable building with an AI-first mindset, while also working in financial systems and tools (e.g., NetSuite, Workday); quick to learn new platforms, with strong data quality instincts
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to summarize a complex result for a senior audience
• Process-oriented operator with high ownership and operating discipline - you leave processes measurably better than you found them
• Able to influence and align partners across a matrixed organization without direct authority
• Hands-on and willing to roll up your sleeves; strong attention to detail paired with structured problem solving
• Solid working knowledge of GAAP and financial management processes
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field

Nice to Have:

• Experience in a consumer goods or digital marketplace business with meaningful operational components (e.g., CPG, e-commerce), with working knowledge of marketplace unit economics
• MBA, CPA, or CFA
• Experience standing up or materially rebuilding a planning process, rather than inheriting a mature one
• Experience directing the work of an analyst on shared deliverables
• Passionate about collectibles and/or sports
