Strategic Finance Associate

Flex is an early-stage, remote-first FinTech startup that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2023 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! We enable our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing in 2023. Will you be a part of the team? 

As a Finance team member, you will have a key role in developing and shaping Flex’s business and financial strategy.

• Help drive the financial planning and budgeting process, working cross-functionally to connect operational goals with financial metrics

• Analyze and execute opportunities to size impact of various initiatives and maximize return throughout the organization to drive sustainable growth

• Empower highly analytical strategic projects throughout the company, such as new product launches, expansions, operational changes and M&A opportunities

• Lead new system and process planning and implementation to help the finance function scale as the organization grows

 

What We’re Looking For:

 

• Financial modeling wizardry and a deep understanding of corporate finance

• Minimum 2+ years of investment banking, consulting or similar experience required

• Superior communication skills and the ability to collaborate with all levels of an organization

The national pay range for this role is $110-125k. Individual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience aligned with Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.
