About the role

  • Serve as the primary finance point of contact for the payments business, including Stripe-enabled operations, supporting both day-to-day and strategic planning.
  • Translate complex business questions into analytical frameworks and deliver clear, actionable recommendations.
  • Elevate financial and metric fluency across Payments, Product, and GTM leaders by coaching stakeholders on payment economics, fee drivers, conversion mechanics, and trade-offs.
  • Partner with FP&A and Accounting to align forecasts, variance analysis, and executive-level reporting.
  • Analyze payment flows, transaction volumes, Stripe fee structures, and cost-to-serve dynamics; identify opportunities to improve unit economics.
  • Evolve profitability models across key dimensions (e.g., practice cohort, segment, product bundle/SKU, channel, payment method, card-present/card-not-present mix).
  • Monitor recurring and explain recurring revenue streams (ARR/MRR), churn, retention, and upsell performance within payment-enabled products.
  • Partner with Sales and Customer Success to ensure pricing discipline, discount guardrails, and healthy pipeline economics.
  • Build and maintain cohort analyses (activation ramp, volume maturity curves, retention/churn, expansion) to inform growth targets and GTM strategies.
  • Support pricing and monetization strategies for payment-related products and services, including post-launch performance reviews.
  • Develop SKU-level profitability analysis to identify underperforming offerings and margin improvement opportunities.
  • Develop pricing frameworks for new payment features, including tiered pricing, bundling, and value-based models. Partner with Sales and GTM teams to implement and monitor adherence.
  • Collaborate with Product and Sales to rationalize SKU portfolios and optimize packaging for customer segments.
  • Monitor discounting and price realization trends; implement guardrails to protect margin integrity.
  • Build scenario models for strategic decisions such as payment partnerships, new product launches, and portfolio changes.
  • Own the Payments KPI architecture and reporting roadmap—ensuring metric definitions, data lineage, and governance that support a trusted “single source of truth.”
  • Partner with Enterprise BI to co-create datasets and dashboards for payment KPIs, including transaction success rates, Stripe fee impact, churn, cohort performance, and customer health.
  • Develop dashboards tracking volume, SKU adoption, revenue contribution, and profitability by segment.
  • Drive a rigorous operating cadence for Payments performance (weekly insights, monthly business reviews, QBR support), surfacing leading indicators, root-cause analysis, and clear actions.
  • Collaborate with Product and Product Marketing to quantify roadmap ROI, support business cases, and translate field/customer feedback into measurable economic implications.
  • Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to ensure reporting supports required controls and that commercial decisions reflect regulatory and operating risk realities.
  • Support executive and board-ready materials with high clarity, strong narrative structure, and defensible numbers.

Requirements

  • 5–8+ years of experience in finance, analytics, strategy, or data-driven business partnering roles, preferably within SaaS, fintech, payments, or a hybrid SaaS + payments model.

  • Strong proficiency in financial modeling, scenario analysis, and unit economics (including pricing, margin, and contribution analysis).

  • Advanced Excel skills and familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, SQL, etc.).
