Company mission
To translate everything we've always wished our dogs could tell us, so we have peace of mind knowing they're as safe and healthy as possible.
Role
Who you are

- 1–3 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, venture capital, private equity, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment
- Strong financial modeling skills, including three-statement models, forecasting, and unit economics; advanced Excel fluency required

- Empathetic, collaborative partner who values diverse perspectives and supports teammates through strong analytical and organizational skills
- Strong belief in measurement and accountability as the foundation for influence and impact
What the job involves

- You’ll work closely with Fi’s leadership team to equip the business with the models, data, and financial rigor needed to guide decision-making and evaluate new opportunities
- This role offers real ownership and visibility, with the chance to apply deep financial analysis, sound judgment, and creativity to meaningful problems inside a fast-growing, investor-backed company
- Own and maintain Fi’s sales forecasts, financial models, and unit economics to support high-stakes decision-making
- Partner with the Data team to define, analyze, and report core business KPIs and key drivers of consumer behavior

- Work closely with Accounting to ensure financial accuracy, alignment, and clarity across the business
- Partner with the executive team on strategic initiatives, capital allocation decisions, and scaling efforts, bringing financial rigor to the company’s highest-impact opportunities
Our take
For a long time, dog collars and leashes have remained largely unchanged. Fi was set up by a product team drawn from the ranks of Uber, Square, and Google to disrupt the stagnant dog collar space.
Fi's smart collars include tracking and monitoring features that give owners peace-of-mind. They can monitor, for example, the sleep and health of their furry friends. Plus, real-time escape notifications have already saved the lives of dogs.
With a tracking range that far exceeds that of its competitors, the company has seen promising levels of adoption for its collars. Fi continues to innovate, for example with the launch of the Fi Series 3+ which is the world's first AI-powered smart dog collar.
