Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
- 3–5 years of experience in corporate finance, FP&A, investment banking, or financial reporting
- Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and data visualization skills
- Builder mentality: direct experience building process automations with AI and planning tools. You love to automate and know your way around data structures, not just spreadsheets
- Experience building board-quality charts and presentations; high attention to detail on data accuracy
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills. Comfortable working across accounting outputs, FP&A model outputs, and executive audiences simultaneously
- Experience supporting month-end close reporting and management reporting packages
- Strong communication, organization, and cross-functional collaboration skills. You can produce a clean financial summary and walk a non-finance partner through the numbers in the same afternoon
- What’s Margin Accretive:
- Fintech, payments, or high-growth startup experience — especially earned wage access, lending, or embedded finance
- Familiarity with Pigment, Snowflake, Sigma, Looker, or SQL
- You’ve modeled credit risk, cohort economics, or loan-level unit economics
- You can build and maintain your own dashboards and reporting infrastructure independently
What the job involves
- As a Corporate Finance Manager, you will support core financial planning, forecasting, and reporting for Clair, partnering closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional teams
- This role sits at the intersection of financial reporting, board-quality data production, and analytical support, helping translate financial data into clear, accurate outputs for internal stakeholders, leadership, and external audiences, including investors and board members
- This is a highly analytical role with exposure to senior leadership, board materials, and investor-facing work
- The role reports directly to the SVP of Finance as a key analytical contributor, while also serving as the primary owner of recurring financial reporting to cross-functional teams
- Partner with Finance leadership on forecasting, budgeting, long-range planning, and business performance analysis
- Build and maintain financial models across revenue, unit economics, profitability, headcount, and cash flow to support strategic decision-making
- Evaluate new products, partnerships, and growth opportunities through financial analysis, business cases, and scenario modeling
- Own the creation of board, investor, and leadership reporting, translating complex data into clear insights and recommendations
- Deliver monthly business reporting and performance reviews for leaders across Product, GTM, Partnerships, and Controllership
- Partner cross-functionally to understand performance drivers, identify opportunities, and improve business outcomes
- Build scalable reporting infrastructure using Pigment, Snowflake, SQL, AI tools, and automation to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency
- Champion AI and automation initiatives that help Finance scale through systems and technology
- Support fundraising, investor relations, and other strategic finance initiatives as Clair continues to grow
Our take
Clair is a social impact fintech startup offering instant no-fee pay access, so that gig companies and HR tech can offer hourly workers cash advances on their earnings. It aims to both mitigate the risks taken on by workers in the growing gig economy, and help gig companies recruit and retain their workforce in a market characterized by fluctuating demand.
Clair secured two rounds of funding from Thrive Capital, a big win given their reputation for funding and building game-changing fintech. This is a game that certainly looks set to change - with 80 million hourly workers and 60 million gig workers, this precariously positioned segment of the US workforce is both large and growing.
Mastercard, MetaBank, and Galileo have all thrown their weight behind Clair to provide the financial infrastructure that makes their payment model possible. Following the recent surge in the gig economy, Clair offers both an attractive and necessary tool to sustain the livelihoods of the people working in this sector.
