Full Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Manager of Strategic Finance to join StubHub's Finance organization and help shape how we plan, allocate resources, evaluate investments, and measure performance across the company. Reporting to the Vice President of Strategic Finance, this role will serve as a key thought partner to business leaders and senior executives across StubHub, translating complex financial and operational data into clear insights and actionable recommendations.

This is a highly visible role that sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations. The Senior Manager will partner closely with leaders across StubHub's business units and functional domains to develop forecasts, evaluate new opportunities, identify risks and opportunities, and ensure resources are deployed against the company's highest-priority initiatives.

We are looking for a player-coach: someone who is equally comfortable building a detailed financial model, developing an executive-level narrative, and leading and developing a high-performing team. This individual will have an opportunity to help define and build a best-in-class Strategic Finance function, establishing scalable processes, analytical frameworks, and reporting that improve decision-making across the organization.

Location: Hybrid (3 days in office/2 days remote) - New York, NY

What You'll Do
  • Serve as a strategic finance partner to business unit leaders, proactively identifying financial and operational risks, opportunities, and emerging trends and translating those insights into actionable recommendations.
  • Lead headcount and vendor planning across supported business units, partnering with senior leaders to understand resource requirements, establish investment priorities, and ensure spending aligns with financial objectives.
  • Evaluate and size new initiatives and investment opportunities, developing business cases, scenario analyses, ROI frameworks, and financial models that enable leadership to make informed capital allocation decisions.
  • Develop scalable reporting frameworks that provide business leaders with timely, relevant, and decision-useful insights into financial and operational performance.
  • Improve financial processes and analytical infrastructure, helping evolve StubHub's planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance-management capabilities as the company continues to scale.
  • Collaborate closely with Consolidations and Investor Relations during period-end close and earnings preparation, helping ensure leadership has a clear and consistent understanding of financial performance, key business drivers, risks, opportunities, and forward-looking trends.
  • Lead, coach, and develop members of the Strategic Finance team, creating a high-performance culture while remaining hands-on with the team's most important analyses and deliverables.

What You've Done
  • 8-10 years of relevant experience in corporate finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or related analytical finance role. The ideal candidate brings significant experience partnering with Product and Engineering leaders.
  • Experience at a marketplace, consumer technology, or e-commerce business is strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience owning financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation processes.
  • Exceptional financial modeling and analytical skills
  • Experience evaluating new initiatives and investment opportunities, including opportunity sizing, scenario analysis, ROI assessment, and business-case development.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to distill complex financial and operational concepts into clear, concise narratives.
  • Strong business judgment and intellectual curiosity, with an ability to look beyond the numbers to understand the underlying operational and strategic drivers of performance.
  • 2+ years of people management experience, with demonstrated success coaching, developing, and motivating high-performing finance professionals.
  • A genuine player-coach mentality - willing to roll up your sleeves and build the analysis while simultaneously setting direction, developing talent, and raising the standard for the broader team.

The ideal candidate combines strong financial and analytical capabilities with excellent business judgment, communication skills, and an ability to build trusted relationships across an organization. You are comfortable moving between detailed analysis and executive-level discussions and thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can evolve quickly.

What We Offer
  • Accelerated Growth Environment: Immerse yourself in an environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.
  • Top Tier Compensation Package: Enjoy a rewarding compensation package that includes enticing stock incentives, aligning with our commitment to recognizing and valuing your contributions.
  • Flexible Time Off: Embrace a healthy work-life balance with unlimited Flex Time Off, providing you the flexibility to manage your schedule and recharge as needed.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Prioritize your well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.
