Who's the business

Zanda is partnering with a private equity–backed fintech company generating approximately $65M in revenue and continuing to expand across multiple product lines.

With continued growth and increasing operational complexity, the company is now looking to hire an FinOps Manager to strengthen financial planning capabilities and support strategic decision-making across the organization. The role will work closely with the CFO and leadership team to improve forecasting discipline, financial visibility, and data-driven insights.

While the company's operational headquarters are in the Southeast, finance leadership is based in New York, and the role will be located in NYC.

• Comfortable working in lean teams and taking ownership in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Experience in smaller or mid-sized organizations where finance teams operate with high visibility and accountability
