HybridNew York City, New York, United States
Job Summary
Drive top-line growth forecasting for Faire's International expansion and Retailer Growth engines, owning forecast assumptions and translating product roadmaps into projected results. Own the portfolio narrative by communicating financial growth performance to senior leadership and identifying high-conviction investment trade-offs across global markets and acquisition channels. Build telemetry and forecasting infrastructure that provides real-time visibility into growth drivers and structural risks before they surface in quarterly numbers.

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree
- 7+ years work experience in strategic finance
- Experience in private equity / venture capital, investment banking, and/or management consulting
- Ability to build frameworks and financial infrastructure from scratch
- Comfortable creating the reporting and telemetry that turns raw data into a decision-ready narrative
- Ability to zoom out across multiple channels and markets
- Ability to form a clear, high-conviction point of view on where the biggest consolidated growth opportunities lie
- Ability to synthesize information, decompose problems, and use data and logic to diagnose root causes and quantify trade-offs
- Comfortable going deep on unit economics (CAC, LTV, ROI, payback)
- Ability to earn strategic access through the quality of insight rather than authority
- 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
- Get-things-done mindset
- Resourceful and willing to roll up sleeves to move forward tactically
Desired Qualifications
- 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
- Experience 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
- Experience in international / multi-market expansion, with a feel for how market maturity curves and regional dynamics shape growth strategy
- Experience 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
- Experience actively experimenting with AI tools to accelerate and sharpen analytical work — automating rote tasks, pressure-testing assumptions, and generating faster first drafts of complex analyses
