About the role

  • Develop and maintain Zip's consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, ensuring accuracy and consistency across all business units
  • Own the monthly and quarterly financial close process in partnership with Accounting, producing timely consolidated results with clear variance analysis
  • Build and maintain board- and investor-ready financial packages that tell a compelling and accurate story of Zip's financial performance
  • Own Zip's 13-week and long-term cash flow model, providing visibility into liquidity, working capital, and runway
  • Proactively identify cash flow risks and opportunities, working cross-functionally to inform treasury strategy and capital allocation decisions
  • Build scenario models to stress-test the business under different growth and cost assumptions
  • Lead Zip's annual operating plan (AOP) process end-to-end — from goal-setting and timeline management through final board approval
  • Own and evolve our financial planning and analysis (FP&A) tool and data infrastructure, ensuring it is scalable, intuitive, and trusted across the business
  • Drive the quarterly re-forecast process, synthesizing inputs from department heads into a coherent, well-supported financial outlook
  • Develop and maintain Zip's 3-5 year financial model, articulating the long-range path to profitability and key strategic milestones
  • Partner with the CEO, Head of Finance, and VP of Strategic Finance on strategic planning narratives for investors, board members, and M&A processes
  • Translate long-range financial targets into annual and quarterly operating metrics that teams can use to manage their businesses
  • Serve as the dedicated finance business partner to HR and People Operations — supporting headcount planning, compensation modeling, benefits cost analysis, and organizational design decisions
  • Partner with Zip's Real Estate team on office portfolio strategy, lease modeling, occupancy planning, and capital expenditure forecasting
  • Build trusted relationships with G&A leaders, helping them understand their budgets, manage spend, and make data-driven decisions

Requirements

  • 8+ years of progressive finance experience, with significant time in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related function at a high-growth technology company
  • Deep expertise in financial modeling — you can build a three-statement model from scratch and pressure-test assumptions with confidence
  • Experience owning or significantly contributing to an annual planning cycle and long-range financial planning process
  • Strong understanding of SaaS metrics and what drives revenue, cost, and efficiency in a software business
  • Exceptional communicator — you can synthesize complex financial information into clear narratives for executive and board audiences
  • Experience partnering with G&A functions (particularly HR/People and Real Estate) is a strong plus
  • Proficiency with financial planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, or similar) and advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills; experience with SQL is a plus
  • A bias for building: you're excited to build processes and infrastructure from the ground up, not just maintain what's already there
  • Low ego, high ownership — you thrive in collaborative environments and are comfortable getting into the details when needed

Benefits

  • Start-up equity
  • Full health, vision & dental coverage
  • Catered lunches & dinners for SF employees
