  • STRATEGIC FINANCE - FP&A @ CLAY
  • We're building a company that grows fast, moves fast, and makes decisions quickly, and Finance is a core part of that.
  • The best FP&A functions at companies are inherently strategic, and lean on the "analysis" - they not only create a clear source of truth and planning cadence, but surface risk and opportunity early, and own what happens next with cross-functional partners.
  • We're looking for an FP&A owner to build the financial systems, forecasting processes, and operating rhythms that help the business scale.
  • You'll partner closely with leaders across the company, own the financial model, and turn messy, ambiguous questions into clear decisions.
  • This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who loves combining analytical rigor with strong business judgment and creative thinking.
  • We don't envision this role as simply a gatekeeper of the budget (in fact, we don't have budgets).
  • As our first FP&A hire, you'll help make decisions that shape the next phase of the business's investments and growth.
