Strategic Finance Lead

Whop is on a mission to deliver everyone a sustainable income. We're building the internet's leading commerce platform for digital products — empowering creators, communities, and entrepreneurs to monetize their knowledge, tools, and audiences. We move fast, operate with extreme ownership, and obsess over enabling our sellers to grow.

We're looking for a Strategic Finance Lead to be a key partner to our executive team as we scale. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role sitting at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations. You'll own the financial model, drive critical business decisions, and help shape the direction of the company.

This is not a back-office accounting role. We want someone who can translate complex financial data into clear strategic narratives, challenge assumptions, and operate as a genuine business partner to every team at Whop.

• Own the financial model. Build and maintain a dynamic, company-wide model that supports scenario planning, fundraising, and long-range forecasting.
• Drive the operating cadence. Lead monthly and quarterly business reviews, track KPIs across revenue, margins, and unit economics, and surface insights that drive action.
• Support fundraising and investor relations. Prepare board materials, investor updates, and diligence packages; serve as a key point of contact for investors.
• Build the finance function. As an early member of the finance org, you'll help define processes, tooling, and team structure as we scale.
• Manage budgeting and headcount planning. Partner with department heads to set budgets, manage spend, and make tough prioritization calls.
• Analyze marketplace economics. Develop deep intuition for Whop's platform metrics — GMV, take rate, seller LTV, cohort retention — and translate them into business insights.

• 5–8 years of experience in investment banking, growth equity, venture capital, or strategic finance at a high-growth tech company
• Exceptionally strong financial modeling skills — you can build a 3-statement model, LBO, or cohort analysis from scratch
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders with clear, data-driven storytelling
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity; you don't need a playbook to get started
• Experience with marketplace or SaaS business models is a strong plus
• Collaborative by nature — you build trust across functions and communicate with directness and clarity
• Scrappy, entrepreneurial mindset — excited to build systems and processes where none exist

The expected salary range for this position is $140,000 to $200,000 annually, with final compensation determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
