Founded in 2021, LayerZero’s vision is to create a community of cross-chain developers, building dApps that are no longer constrained by individual blockchain capabilities. With LayerZero's simple, generic messaging protocol, builders will develop cross-chain dApps designed to unify the power of individual blockchains. We are funded by the best investors in the world including: a16z, Sequoia, PayPal, Binance Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Uniswap Labs, Circle Ventures, Delphi Digital, and many more. ## ABOUT THE ROLE LayerZero is redefining how value moves across chains at internet scale. Our Finance team is a strategic partner to the business — turning data into decisions that shape how we invest, hire, and grow. We’re looking for an FP&A Manager/Senior Manager to help build the financial operating system for LayerZero. Reporting to our Head of Finance, this person will support planning, forecasting, resource allocation, and financial decision-making across the company, partnering closely with functional leaders and contributing directly to materials that go to the CFO and executive team. You'll help own the company's core operating model, support planning and reforecasting cycles, contribute to reporting for leadership and the board, and bring financial rigor to major investment decisions. This is a high-impact role on a small finance team, ideal for someone who has operated in high-growth environments and wants to build the Strategic Finance function from an early stage. ## WHAT YOU’LL DO Support Company-Wide Planning & Forecasting - Contribute to the annual operating plan, long-range plan, quarterly reforecasts, and monthly outlooks across the company. - Help own the integrated three-statement and driver-based operating model — the source of truth for budget, forecast, and scenario work. - Support the planning cadence: calendar, target-setting, allocation, and approval workflows. Cross-Functional Business Partnership - Partner directly with executive and functional leaders (Engineering, Product, Marketing, BD, G&A) on resource allocation, headcount strategy, and major investment decisions. - Support monthly and quarterly business reviews — own the narrative, the variance story, and the forward-looking call to action. - Pressure-test strategic initiatives, new product investments, and potential inorganic opportunities with financial rigor and clear ROI framing. Board, Investor & Executive Reporting - Prepare board materials, investor updates, and executive operating reviews. - Own KPI definitions and reporting across the company — ensure the leadership team is operating from a shared set of numbers. - Help shape the company’s financial narrative for internal and external audiences. Crypto-Native Strategic Finance - Build the financial framework for token economics, on-chain revenue, ecosystem incentives, and digital asset flows. - Partner with Accounting, Treasury, and Legal on token compensation programs and capital strategy. - Develop scenario models that capture the growth profile of an omnichain protocol company. Build the Strategic Finance Function - Build the strategic finance function, including hiring and development talent as the team scales. - Stand up the planning tech stack — ERP, EPM/planning tool, BI — and the data pipelines that feed them. - Define the financial operating system: cadence, templates, ownership, and standards that scale with the company. - Raise the analytical bar across the business and build a culture of financial discipline. ## ABOUT YOU - 4-8+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting; meaningful in-house experience at a high-growth tech, fintech, or crypto company required. - Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Math, or a related quantitative field. MBA, CFA, or CPA a plus. - Demonstrated experience owning a company-wide planning cycle and partnering with C-suite stakeholders. - Best-in-class financial modeling — you’ve built and maintained the operating model that the CFO and CEO rely on. - Strong executive presence and communication; able to drive a room of senior stakeholders to a decision. - Deep experience with NetSuite (or comparable ERP) and modern planning tools (Anaplan, Pigment, Cube, Mosaic, Adaptive, or similar). - SQL or BI tool fluency (Looker, Tableau, Hex) strongly preferred. - Genuine interest in crypto, blockchain, and the LayerZero mission; exposure to token models, on-chain data, or digital asset accounting a strong plus. - Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, multi-entity environments — you bring structure where there is none. - Experience contributing to building a finance function or process from scratch a strong plus. ## Equal Opportunity Employer LayerZero Labs is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
