Strategic Finance Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to join our growing Strategic Finance team. This is a highly analytical, high-ownership role for someone who is comfortable tackling ambiguous business questions, determining what data and analyses are needed, and building the answer from the ground up.

You’ll lead high-priority financial and strategic analyses, work directly with leaders across the business, and help build financial infrastructure and decision-support capabilities needed as Pivotal scales.

This role reports directly to our Director of Strategic Finance and Analytics.

What You’ll Do

• Own complex financial and strategic analyses from initial question through recommendation, often with limited precedent or existing structure

• Build financial models from scratch to evaluate new products, pricing, unit economics, investments, partnerships, and other strategic decisions

• Analyze large and sometimes messy operational and financial datasets to identify trends, explain business performance, and surface actionable insights

• Work cross-functionally with Finance, Business Operations, Analytics, Product, Growth, and other teams to gather information, validate assumptions, and get to the right answer

• Develop a deep understanding of the operational drivers behind Pivotal’s financial performance and translate them into forecasts, models, and decision-making frameworks

• Support forecasting, long-range planning, scenario analysis, and other core Strategic Finance initiatives as needed

• Lead special projects and strategic initiatives from scoping through execution, including projects that sit outside traditional FP&A

• Support investor and Board materials, including financial analysis, performance narratives, and strategic insights

• Support capital raises and other financing or strategic transactions as opportunities arise

• Help improve the tools, processes, and analytical infrastructure used by the Strategic Finance team as the company scales

• Serve as a key thought partner to the Director of Strategic Finance and Analytics, flexing across the highest-priority questions facing the business

Who You Are

• Completed a formal analyst training program in investment banking or a similarly rigorous analytical environment

• 3-5 years of investment banking experience; additional experience in strategic finance, investing, or a high-growth operating environment is a plus

• Exceptional financial modeling and analytical skills, with a demonstrated ability to build sophisticated analyses from a blank sheet

• Highly comfortable working with large datasets and reconciling information across multiple sources to develop a clear view of the business

• Able to independently identify what information is needed, find the right stakeholders, and drive toward an answer without waiting for a perfectly defined process

• Strong business judgment and ability to move fluidly between detailed analysis and executive-level implications

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities and questions can change quickly

• Advanced Excel skills and a willingness to use modern AI and analytical tools to work more efficiently

• Strong communicator who can turn complex analysis into clear, concise recommendations

• High level of ownership, curiosity, and attention to detail

Extra Credit if you have:

• Healthcare or startup experience.

Benefits Include:

• Competitive compensation, including equity

• Full health, dental, and vision coverage

• Retirement savings plan through 401(k)

• Flexible time off

• Opportunities for company-wide connection and events
