About the Role

Polymarket US is looking for a Senior Manager, Strategic Finance to lead financial planning and performance management for our U.S. business and regulated entities. You'll own an integrated three-statement forecast by department and legal entity, together with the consolidated U.S. outlook — covering headcount and vendor planning, cash and liquidity, cost of sales, revenue sharing, customer acquisition economics, and management reporting.

This is a hands-on role for a finance leader who combines rigorous modeling, strong accounting fluency, and practical judgment. You'll move easily between detailed analysis and executive-level insight, challenge assumptions constructively, and build durable planning processes that create trust through accurate, transparent, decision-useful work.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain an integrated three-statement model by department and legal entity, with a consolidated view of the U.S. business

  • Lead annual planning, periodic reforecasts, long-range planning, and scenario analysis, maintaining clear assumptions, documentation, and version control

  • Establish a monthly and quarterly cadence with business leaders to review performance, outlook, hiring, vendor commitments, and key risks and opportunities

  • Translate operating plans into driver-based budgets and forecasts, and help leaders evaluate financial tradeoffs

  • Deliver clear variance analysis and recommendations that strengthen accountability and decision-making

  • Produce entity-level and consolidated U.S. forecasts, including cash, working capital, intercompany activity, shared costs, and funding requirements

  • Forecast liquidity and regulatory capital needs for the U.S. regulated entities

  • Build driver-based forecasts for cost of sales and other transaction-driven expenses, including payment, settlement, fraud, chargeback, and infrastructure costs

  • Model revenue-share arrangements, customer acquisition spend, and contribution economics to support commercial decisions

  • Prepare concise monthly and quarterly reporting that explains performance, changes in outlook, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions

  • Use AI-enabled tools, automation, and scalable planning systems to improve forecast accuracy and expand self-service financial insight

What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of progressive experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, corporate finance, or a related role

  • Demonstrated ability to build and own integrated three-statement models at the department, legal-entity, and consolidated levels

  • Strong accounting and financial-statement fluency, including accruals, working capital, cash flow, intercompany activity, allocations, and close-to-forecast reconciliation

  • Experience leading budgets, rolling forecasts, long-range plans, scenario analysis, and executive reporting

  • Track record as an effective finance partner to senior leaders, with the judgment to challenge assumptions while preserving trust

  • Experience modeling cost of sales, variable costs, gross margin, contribution economics, or other transaction-driven business models

  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, strong communication, and high ownership in a fast-moving environment

  • (Plus) Experience in fintech, payments, exchanges, clearing, brokerage, capital markets, marketplaces, gaming, crypto, or another high-volume transaction business

  • (Plus) Experience supporting regulated legal entities and forecasting capital, liquidity, or funding requirements

  • (Plus) Familiarity with revenue-share agreements, customer acquisition spend, and unit-economic frameworks such as CAC, payback, and contribution margin

  • (Plus) Experience with planning systems, ERPs, and BI or data tools used to validate assumptions and improve recurring reporting

  • (Plus) Experience applying AI, automation, or scripting to improve financial modeling, forecasting, or reporting
