## Job description

Welcome to Fi.

We’re a passionate team from Square, Google, TikTok, Peloton, Uber, and more working to transform the human-pet relationship. Our mission? Develop cutting-edge technology to revolutionize what it means to be a pet parent. The pet industry remains firmly stuck in the past and we are here to change that. Fi is leveraging our team's talent and expertise to improve the lives of millions of pets in the U.S. Real-time location tracking, activity, sleep and behavior monitoring – and that's just the beginning.

The most exciting aspect of our work? Bridging the communication gap between pets and humans. Imagine a world where everyone knows how their pet feels in real time and how to keep their best friend in good shape. That's the future we're building at Fi.

If you're someone who thrives in innovative, collaborative work environments and feels strongly about helping pets live longer, better lives, Fi could be the perfect fit. Join us in our pursuit of the “impossible,” or as we call it here “let me find a way,” to redefine the future of pet ownership together.

Fi is looking for a Strategic Finance Associate!

Fi is looking for a Strategic Finance Associate to deliver strategic and analytical insight, support investor communications, and drive ROI-positive initiatives as the company scales. You’ll work closely with Fi’s leadership team to equip the business with the models, data, and financial rigor needed to guide decision-making and evaluate new opportunities. This role offers real ownership and visibility, with the chance to apply deep financial analysis, sound judgment, and creativity to meaningful problems inside a fast-growing, investor-backed company.

What You’ll Do:

- Own and maintain Fi’s sales forecasts, financial models, and unit economics to support high-stakes decision-making
- Partner with the Data team to define, analyze, and report core business KPIs and key drivers of consumer behavior
- Prepare clear, decision-ready reporting for leadership and investors
- Work closely with Accounting to ensure financial accuracy, alignment, and clarity across the business
- Partner with the executive team on strategic initiatives, capital allocation decisions, and scaling efforts, bringing financial rigor to the company’s highest-impact opportunities

What You’ll Bring:

- 1–3 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, venture capital, private equity, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment
- Strong financial modeling skills, including three-statement models, forecasting, and unit economics; advanced Excel fluency required
- Working knowledge of ROI, LTV/CAC, GAAP, and modern analytics tools such as Tableau or SQL; VBA a plus
- Structured, forward-looking thinker who can balance multiple priorities, bring clarity to complex situations, and translate messy data into sound decisions
- Comfortable working cross-functionally and synthesizing inputs from across the business into a coherent financial narrative
- Empathetic, collaborative partner who values diverse perspectives and supports teammates through strong analytical and organizational skills
- Strong belief in measurement and accountability as the foundation for influence and impact

Why You'll Love Us:

- Time to Recharge: Enjoy flexible PTO to take the breaks you need.
- Top-Notch Health Coverage: We’ve got your back (and teeth and eyes) with full medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- Wellness Perks: Free access to One Medical, Kindbody, and Talkspace to keep you feeling your best.
- Dog-Friendly Office: Bring your pup to work — they’re part of the team, too.
- Give Back to the Pups: Make tails wag with a $500 annual donation to a dog charity of your choice through our BarkBack Program.
