Full Job Description
About the Role

We are seeking a Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis. As a key member of the team, you'll own financial planning from end to end, including the long-range plan, the annual budget, the rolling forecast, and the unit economics that sit underneath all three. This is a unique opportunity to build the financial engine of a fast-growing platform. You'll define how we measure GMV, take rate, and contribution margin across grading, vaulting, repacks, and the marketplace itself, and turn those numbers into the decisions the business runs on.

What You'll Do
  • Partner with the CFO on board decks, investor updates, KPI reporting, and building a source of truth for data
  • Build and own the annual budget, quarterly re-forecast, and 3-5 year long-range plan as a single driver-based model, built bottom-up from platform drivers and unit economics: buyer and seller acquisition, activation, repeat rate, order frequency, AOV, GMV, and take rate
  • Own company-wide headcount and workforce planning: the model, the approval process, and the discipline behind both
  • Serve as the finance partner to Product, Engineering, Operations, Marketing, and Category leaders; own their budgets with them and hold them to plan
  • Build the business case for growth expansion and operational scaling opportunities
  • Build, hire, and mentor the FP&A and strategic finance team
  • Own the finance systems roadmap: planning tool selection and implementation, the BI layer, and the data pipeline from our transactional systems into the model; partnering closely with Accounting on close


Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field
  • 12-15+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or consulting, including 4+ years leading and building a team
  • Direct experience in a marketplace, e-commerce, or consumer platform business, with GMV and contribution margin as primary owned metrics
  • Demonstrated ownership of a company-level operating model
  • Fluency with the physical-goods cost stack: logistics, fulfillment, inventory or consignment economics, payments, and fraud
  • Equally credible presenting to a board and debugging a model with an analyst
  • Comfortable working in a high-growth, AI-forward environment
