This role sits at the intersection of financial modeling, product economics, and strategic insight. You will own take rate and revenue analytics, build models that explain how our products generate revenue, and support high-visibility exec-facing deliverables. You will be expected to build an extensive knowledge base on how the product works — understanding the levers that drive revenue — and translate that into rigorous forecasts and business narratives. What you'll do: • Own take rate and revenue modeling: build, maintain, and continuously improve financial models that capture how our platform generates revenue across products and client segments. • Develop a deep understanding of product mechanics — how pricing, volume, auction dynamics, and platform features drive take rate — and incorporate that knowledge into forecasts. • Perform variance analysis on actuals vs. plan/forecast; clearly communicate drivers of outperformance or shortfall to finance and business partners. • Support the monthly close process by producing revenue reports, commentary, and trend analysis for senior leadership. • Build financial models for new products, pricing initiatives, and partnerships, including scenario analysis and sensitivity tables. • Contribute to exec-ready materials including quarterly business reviews, board decks, and investor-facing content. • Partner with product, data science, and business intelligence teams to ensure financial models are grounded in accurate, up-to-date data. • Take on ad hoc special projects — from competitive benchmarking to pricing strategy support to M&A due diligence — as the business evolves Who you are:  2+ years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or a related analytical finance role. • Strong financial modeling skills — you build clean, well-structured models from scratch and can explain every assumption. • Demonstrated ability to understand complex product or business mechanics and translate them into quantitative models. • Proficiency in Excel; experience with SQL or BI tools (Tableau, Looker, etc.) a strong plus. • Proficiency leveraging AI tools like Claude to accelerate financial analysis, modeling, and reporting workflows. • Excellent written and verbal communication — you can distill complex analysis into a clear executive narrative. • High intellectual curiosity: you ask why, dig into data, and aren't satisfied with surface- level answers. • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field. Nice to Have: • Experience in adtech, programmatic advertising, or marketplace/platform businesses. • Familiarity with take rate economics, net/gross revenue distinctions, or auction-based pricing models. • Experience with Python or other scripting tools for financial analysis.
