Hopper is seeking a Finance & Strategy Manager to serve as a financial partner to business leaders across the company. You will build financial models underlying forecasts, partnerships, and strategic plans; lead business reviews; and translate analysis into clear recommendations for senior leadership and the CFO.
This role is ideal for someone with rigorous financial modeling experience from investment banking or private equity who wants to apply those skills in-house, closer to decision-making. The team moves fast and leverages SQL and AI tools like Claude to automate manual work, freeing time for analysis and strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain integrated financial models, scenario and sensitivity analyses, and business cases for new products, partnerships, and investments
- Evaluate economics of new commercial agreements (pricing, revenue share, unit economics, ROI) and help shape deal terms with business leaders
- Support fundraising, M&A, and capital allocation decisions, including underlying models and analysis
- Own monthly and quarterly forecasts for supported areas; contribute to annual budget and long-range planning by building driver-based models connecting operational metrics to P&L outcomes
- Lead monthly and quarterly reviews of actuals vs. plan and forecast; explain variances and flag risks and opportunities to business leaders
- Partner with leadership on high-impact questions: market sizing, investment prioritization, cost optimization
- Prepare clear, executive-, board-, and investor-ready materials that tell the story behind the numbers
- Use SQL, BigQuery, and AI tools to automate recurring reporting and analysis

- Excellent communication skills; ability to explain financial concepts to non-finance partners and present confidently to senior leaders
