About the role

The Strategic Finance team at Faire is organized around both product roadmap pillars and functional coverage areas (e.g. departments or company-wide objectives).

Drive topline growth forecasting for some of Faire's biggest growth bets (i.e. International expansion).
Own the understanding and communication of forecast assumptions with leadership.
Own the portfolio narrative. Communicate the financial story of growth performance to senior leadership
Build the telemetry to influence. Create the growth performance management and forecasting infrastructure and frameworks that give leadership real-time, credible visibility into performance
Partner cross-functionally with the teams driving growth (Retailer Growth, International, Brand Growth, Business Development) to develop, understand, and track execution plans against goals.
This role requires the ability to spot opportunities and risks, develop hypotheses, pressure-test inputs, and generate data-driven insights that shape where capital gets deployed.
Move fast: You'll own meaningful problems that serve customers around the globe with the agency to move fast and see your results clearly.

Systems thinker: builds frameworks and financial infrastructure from scratch, not just runs existing models. Comfortable creating the reporting and telemetry that turns raw data into a decision-ready narrative.
Portfolio-level synthesis: able to zoom out across multiple channels and markets, connect the dots, and form a clear, high-conviction point of view on where the biggest consolidated growth opportunities lie.
Analytical rigor: synthesizes information, decomposes problems, and uses data and logic to diagnose root causes and quantify trade-offs. Comfortable going deep on unit economics (CAC, LTV, ROI, payback) without losing the thread on the most important strategic questions.
AI-forward working able to zoom in and zoom out between the details and the key takeaway narrative, and earn strategic access through the quality of insight rather than authority.
Cross-functional partner: track record building trust and alignment across Product, GTM, Business Development, and Analytics
organized with strong deadline management across concurrent workstreams.
Comfortable with ambiguity and long-horizon analysis - energized by open-ended, forward-looking questions and a get-things-done mindset, resourceful and willing to roll up sleeves to move forward tactically.

Work experience:
At a two-sided marketplace or platform business where growth is driven by network effects and supply-demand dynamics between distinct buyer and seller audiences.
Partnering with go-to-market or growth teams - structuring and evaluating incentive programs, acquisition investments, and the payback economics that determine where and how to deploy capital.
In international / multi-market expansion, with a feel for how market maturity curves and regional dynamics shape growth strategy.
In or adjacent to the brand → retailer → consumer ecosystem, ideally from a small-business enablement perspective.
SQL or comparable data proficiency to pull and manipulate analyses without relying on partners for access to the information required for analysis or financial models.
