Finance & Strategy Manager

About the role

We are looking for a highly analytical and proactive Finance & Strategy Manager to join our growing team at Courtyard.io! Reporting to the Head of Finance, this role sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations - ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and is passionate about using metrics-driven insights to power decision-making.

What You’ll Do

• Own and evolve core financial models and forecasting processes, including functional ownership of key profitability drivers
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Engineering, and Ops to evaluate opportunities and develop robust financial analyses
• Turn ambiguous business questions into structured, actionable insights — helping stakeholders understand not just what happened, but why
• Drive performance analysis across business segments, surfacing growth opportunities, risks, and areas requiring attention
• Build business cases for new initiatives, from market sizing through expected ROI, and track performance post-launch
• Lead fast-moving strategic initiatives such as new category launches and go-to-market campaigns - ensuring financial clarity and measurable impact at every step

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, consulting, or strategic finance/business operations within a high-growth tech company
• Exceptional command of financial modeling and quantitative analysis, with a track record of tackling ambiguous problems and delivering clear, actionable insights
• Strong analytical toolset - SQL or data analysis experience preferred, or a clear desire to learn
• Fluency with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for accelerating analysis and research, or a clear excitement about building that muscle
• Excellent communication and influence skills; you can align cross-functional partners and present confidently to leadership
• A high attention to detail, bias for action, and a self-starter mentality — you don't wait to be told what to do
