Strategic Finance Lead, Faire

• Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years in strategic corporate finance, private equity / venture capital, investment banking, management consulting, and/or finance/partnering roles with heavy operational or logistics-adjacent complexity
• Strong modeling muscle: able to build and stress-test financial models that reflect operational reality, not just spreadsheet theory
• Analytical rigor: synthesize information, decompose problems, and use data and logic to diagnose root causes—comfortable going deep on unit economics without losing the strategic question
• Excellent communication: credible, structured storytelling for executives and cross-functional partners; able to zoom between detail and narrative
• Cross-functional operator: track record building trust and alignment across Product, GTM, Business Development, and Operations; organized with strong deadline management across concurrent workstreams
• Team-oriented: motivated by business outcomes over personal recognition in a high-impact IC role

Desirable

• We’re looking for a high-agency Strategic Finance Lead to own financial and strategic analysis for Faire’s emerging fulfillment and logistics investments
• You’ll drive mission-critical work end to end – from unit economics and scenario modeling to executive-ready narratives and partnership with Product, GTM, Business Development, and Operations
• This role is central to how we scale fulfillment from zero to one: making disciplined tradeoffs on cost-to-serve, network economics, and partnerships so we improve service for brands and retailers while de-risking long-term financial outcomes
• Capital and operational efficiency both matter at Faire, but fulfillment is increasingly where scale, customer experience, and P&L intersect
• The Finance & Strategy team helps ensure we invest with clarity – linking strategy to numbers and turning complexity into decisions that leadership can act on
• As Strategic Finance Lead, Fulfillment, you will conduct the financial and strategic analysis that informs how Faire optimally invests in scaling and improving fulfillment and logistics
• That includes deep scenario modeling and a firm grasp of the building blocks of our unit economics, so we can iterate confidently as the fulfillment operation grows
• This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in a dynamic, highly collaborative, data-driven environment and wants to work closely across functions - with outsized impact on how the marketplace delivers for customers
• Own fulfillment unit economics and scenario modeling. Build and maintain the financial models that underpin Faire’s fulfillment strategy—cost-to-serve, network economics, carrier and 3PL pricing—and translate outputs into clear tradeoffs that inform investment decisions and operational priorities
• Support 3PL and carrier contract strategy. Lead financial analysis for negotiations, including scenario modeling across rate structures, volume commitments, and service tiers so Faire enters and renews contracts from a position of analytical strength
• Connect fulfillment to brand, retailer, and GMV outcomes. Develop a sharp view of how fulfillment cost, speed, and reliability intersect with brand and retailer behavior; use those insights to shape product and GTM strategy
• Influence the fulfillment roadmap at leadership level. Partner with Product, GTM, and Business Development on investment decisions; deliver hypothesis-driven analysis that ties operational tradeoffs to Faire’s broader financial outputs
• Elevate executive communication. Distill complex fulfillment economics into clear, decision-ready narratives—from board-level framing to operational deep dives—so the right detail reaches the right audience
