About the role

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance and company strategy at a pivotal moment in RADAR's growth. As Senior Manager, Strategic Finance, you will work directly with the CFO and executive team on the company's most important and complex strategic questions — from how we price our product and enter new markets, to how we allocate capital and tell our story to investors.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic Projects & Special Initiatives
    • Own end-to-end strategic analyses on the company's most important questions — from problem framing and data gathering to modeling, synthesis, and recommendation.
    • Support the CFO and executive team on a rotating portfolio of high-priority projects; operate with a high degree of autonomy and deliver with minimal hand-holding.
    • Build frameworks that bring structure to ambiguous problems and enable faster, more confident decision-making across the organization.
  • Customer Pricing & Unit Economics
    • Assist with RADAR's customer pricing models, analyzing the relationship between price, volume, contract structure, and margin.
    • Build and refine unit economics frameworks — CAC, LTV, payback period, gross margin by customer segment — that inform go-to-market and product strategy.
    • Partner with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to stress-test pricing assumptions and identify opportunities to improve monetization.
  • New Verticals & Market Expansion
    • Lead market sizing and opportunity assessments for new verticals and geographies RADAR is evaluating.
    • Build go-to-market financial playbooks for new vertical entry — modeling revenue ramp, cost to serve, investment requirements, and expected returns.
    • Develop international market prioritization frameworks that help the company make disciplined decisions about where and when to expand.
  • Capital Allocation & ROI Frameworks
    • Build ROI models and investment frameworks that help the leadership team evaluate competing priorities and allocate resources to their highest-impact use.
    • Develop business case analyses for major strategic initiatives — new product lines, partnerships, infrastructure investments, and headcount plans.
    • Track outcomes against investment theses; help the organization build a culture of financial accountability around strategic spending.
  • Fundraising & Investor Preparation
    • Support fundraising processes end to end — financial model preparation, investor narrative development and due diligence support.
    • Help develop and maintain the company's long-range financial plan and the financial story that underpins it.
    • Help prepare materials for board meetings and investor updates, ensuring the financial narrative is clear, compelling, and consistent.
  • Market Research & Competitive Intelligence
    • Conduct in-depth market research to inform strategic decisions — sizing markets, benchmarking competitors, and identifying industry trends relevant to RADAR's roadmap.
    • Synthesize external research and internal data into concise, executive-ready insights that sharpen RADAR's strategic point of view.
    • Build and maintain a competitive intelligence function that keeps the leadership team informed on market dynamics.
