Strategic Finance Partner
Overview
The Stripe Finance and Strategy team is an integral thought partner to Stripe's core functional leaders. We bring understanding and predictability to Stripe's bottom-line financials. We work cross-functionally across many surfaces at Stripe and help steward Stripe's resource investments to improve the durability of our long-term financial performance. This role will partner closely with Bridge, a small team of people experienced in building financial infrastructure at leading companies.
Responsibilities
Forecasting and Reporting: Own full P&L reporting, forecasting, and budgeting, with an emphasis on revenue, unit economics, and the stablecoin payment flows that drive Bridge's business.
Pricing and Deal Modeling: Lead pricing strategy across Bridge's product suite. Build models to evaluate pricing for enterprise deals, key accounts, and new product initiatives. Translate complex stablecoin transaction economics into pricing decisions that are both competitive and financially sound.
Strategic Financial Analysis: Partner with business leaders across Bridge to analyze the financial impact of strategic initiatives, understand their business questions, and deliver analytical frameworks that drive real decisions.
Data and SQL Ownership: Write and maintain complex SQL queries and views to support P&L reporting, forecasting, and ad-hoc financial analysis. Work with engineering to ensure accuracy of financial metrics. Bridge has built strong infrastructure in Metabase and Databricks — you leverage it and go beyond it independently, without filing tickets and waiting.
Stripe Finance Partnership: Integrate Bridge financials into broader Stripe company financial reporting and forecasting. Evolve the finance partnership and reporting structure as Bridge and Stripe develop joint product initiatives.
Qualifications
7+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, consulting, or analytical business operations, with a Bachelor's degree in a related field. We care about the rigor of your training, not the specific industry.
Strong financial modeling fundamentals — you build 3-statement models, unit economics frameworks, and cohort analyses from a blank spreadsheet and understand the assumptions behind the numbers, not just the formulas.
Genuine SQL proficiency — you write your own queries when the dashboard doesn't have what you need, with experience building data tables in Databricks or similar environments as a strong plus.
A demonstrated track record of cross-functional partnership with non-finance leaders — understanding the actual problems they're trying to solve and building something that improves their decision-making — and the intellectual curiosity and drive to deeply understand how the business works, including the settlement flows, transaction economics, and cross-border mechanics.
Self-directed and organized, with strong communication skills, high performance under tight timelines, and a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-it-done mentality that fits a small team building something new.
Prior experience in fintech, payments, or crypto — particularly in transaction-based or stablecoin business models.
Familiarity with Databricks, dbt, Looker, or Metabase.
Experience in a first-finance-hire or early-stage company context.
Exposure to enterprise deal structuring or pricing in a payments or API-product business.
