Finance & Strategy Manager, HTS Finance; Remote

About the job

As a member of the Finance and Strategy team, you will help shape strategic decisions that drive the business. Your day-to-day mission is to help our leaders make high-stakes decisions across Hopper’s verticals by merging deep financial intuition with AI-accelerated technical execution and forward-looking modeling.

We are moving away from manual, static modeling. We want a builder who can architect long-range models, stress-test assumptions, and bring structured thinking to ambiguous, high-stakes questions. We also want a builder who views Claude and other LLMs as core teammates to automate workflows, architect complex SQL, and develop long-term FP&A tooling.

• Business Partnering: Act as a strategic thought partner to business leaders, building and owning the financial models that translate complex operational drivers into clear strategic recommendations.

• Predictive Strategic Planning Focus: Architect long-range forecasting models and engines that go beyond static spreadsheets. Use AI to simulate "what-if" scenarios, helping the business navigate short-term volatility while building a resilient, code-based roadmap for the next 3–5 years.

• Technical Infrastructure & Automation: Build and maintain the code-based systems that power our finance engine. Leverage Claude to write, debug, and optimize complex SQL and Big Query workflows to automate real-time dashboards and weekly performance briefings, ensuring our financial reporting is scalable and automated.

• Cross-Functional Finance Support: Partner with teams across the business — including Sales and Media — on forecasting, unit economics, and performance tracking as priorities evolve.

• A degree in Business, Strategy, Finance, Math, Engineering, or other quantitative discipline.

• 5–7+ years of experience in a top-tier tech company.

• Investment banking skillset preferred.

• You have a proven track record of using Claude, ChatGPT, or Git Hub Copilot to amplify your output. You don’t just "know" SQL; you know how to use AI to write better SQL, faster.

• Entrepreneurial spirit, ability to work autonomously; builder mindset.

• Strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills, with strong 3-statement modeling experience.

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages.

• Unlimited PTO.

• Carrot Cash travel stipend.

• Access to co-working space on demand through Flex Desk and a work-from-home stipend.

• Generous parental leave, above industry standards.

• Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.

• Open communication with management and company leadership.

• Small, dynamic teams with massive impact.

• 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage for employees.

• Access to Disability & Life insurance.

• Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).

• DCA/ FSA and access to 401k plan.
