Join Deliveroo's Finance team as Director of Finance & Strategy for the Merchant organization. You will report directly to the Chief Revenue Officer and serve as a trusted strategic advisor to merchant leadership, shaping pricing strategy, optimizing merchant economics, and delivering data-driven insights to support complex, high-value negotiations. Key responsibilities include: • Lead and develop the Merchant Finance & Strategy team, building a high-performing organization through coaching, prioritization, and talent development. • Own commercial impact by partnering with commercial leaders on major contract negotiations, bringing deep expertise on P&L implications across standard and bespoke deal structures. • Design, standardize, and scale pricing frameworks and negotiation tools across markets and segments to drive consistency and measurable impact. • Lead the integration of Merchant financials into DoorDash's metrics, systems, and governance—creating improved consistency, visibility, and performance management at scale. • Embed AI and automation into core workflows to enhance analytical depth, improve efficiency, and redefine how financial insights are generated and used. • Own planning, forecasting, and reporting for Merchant-driven P&L lines, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and actionable insight. • Partner across Finance, Product, Operations, and regional teams to land critical initiatives and influence company-wide outcomes. You bring strong expertise in financial modeling, data-driven decision-making, and senior stakeholder influence. Professional qualifications (ACA/ACCA or equivalent) are a plus. Significant experience in high-growth startups or fast-paced industry environments is essential. You excel at building robust spreadsheet-based financial models and have proven ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders at a strategic level.
