## Job description

## ABOUT CLAIR

If you can send your friends money in seconds, why does it still take your employer two weeks to send your paycheck?

At Clair, we are on a mission to create financial freedom for America's workers by giving them a digital banking platform that allows them to get paid as soon as they clock out of work. But we're not just another digital bank or on-demand pay provider. We meet Americans at their place of work by embedding our products within the scheduling, workforce management, and payroll apps they already use every day.

## THE ROLE

As a FP&A 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. This role is based out of our New York office.

## WHAT YOU’LL OWN

- 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.

## WHAT YOU’LL BRING

- 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.

## ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Location: This is an onsite position based out of our NYC HQ.

Compensation: The annual base salary for this role is $165,000-$185,000. The base pay for this role is determined using many factors, such as education, skills and experience and is reflective of Clair Series stage and size. Base pay is only one part of Clair’s competitive total compensation package which includes equity, benefits and additional perks. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
