- Strong ownership mentality. Must be detail oriented and committed to producing work at a high standard
- Creative mindset for building bespoke financial models for a diverse set of cross-functional needs

What the job involves
- We are seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to collaborate with cross-functional leaders and drive outcomes across the business

Our take
Greenlight was built to help parents raise financially-smart kids. It’s a gap in a generation’s education for which a new sector of ‘family finance’ is emerging to combat.
The company serves millions of parents and kids with accounts distinguished by their easy-to-use money management tools and educational resources. Even Viola Davis, famed actress, told Jimmy Kimmel that she uses the fintech startup’s services to teach her daughter financial lessons.
Greenlight is now looking to expand its suite of products into more lucrative verticals. In particular, 2022 saw the launch of its first credit card product for parents. Like most credit cards, it will offer cashback (up to 3% on all purchases).
The supposed difference between Greenlight’s offering and others is that this cashback can automatically be directed to investment opportunities, framed as helping parents save for their children’s education. Greenlight’s advantage is the trust it has earned from millions of families. The startup’s long-term success will be determined by whether it can release these lucrative products without tarnishing this trust.
