Role
Who you are
- BA/BS Degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Accounting or related field
- 4-6+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or private equity
- Comfort navigating complex, often ambiguous, analytical problems without an existing playbook

What the job involves
- Orchard is looking for a dynamic Strategic Finance Lead to join our growing Finance team. As a Strategic Finance Lead, you will drive the Company’s core financial forecasting and reporting, as well as work closely with senior executives and department heads across the organization to evaluate, plan, execute, and measure strategic business initiatives.
- The ideal candidate has an extensive track record creating the highest caliber analyses in a fast-paced environment with the ability to operate independently while maintaining impeccable communication
- This role will report into the Head of Finance and will be based out of our New York office. We are on a hybrid schedule (Tuesday/Wednesday are in- office days)
- Own and refine the company’s core financial and operational forecast model
- Partner closely with Business Unit Leaders to understand key drivers of the business and provide relevant and reliable financial insights to augment high-level strategic decision making
- Drive strategic decision making in a dynamic, fast-paced environment through thoughtful and well-communicated ad-hoc analyses
- Drive the bi-annual budgeting process, providing functional support and high-value thought partnership with key stakeholders across the organization
- Develop, maintain, and automate monthly variance and KPI reports, as well as quarterly board materials
- Support the executive team on special projects including fundraising, new product development, market launches, and M&A
Our take
In an ever-expanding digital real estate market, Orchard offers home sellers the opportunity to buy before they sell, providing a multitude of selling options. The company aims to relieve typical seller pain points like stagings and showings, negotiations, and buyer financing issues,
Although Orchard is by no means the only digital realtor in this growing market, it has a selection of options and services leveling the playing field with major competitors such as Zillow and Open Door. These include a concierge service which streamlines major hurdles in selling a home, and the company covers the costs and organization involved in improvement work to get houses market-ready on the seller's behalf.
Orchard is also the only company to offer a simple one-time commission fee for selling homes, differentiating it from rivals which also charge a service fee on top. Its strategy is proving successful, and it has quickly expanded across 7 US cities with more in the pipeline. Its success so far has earned it unicorn status and it will no doubt continue its successful growth.
