    Job Description

    About Us:

    At Parafin, our mission is to grow small businesses.

    Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, yet banks do not have their back. Parafin is a technology company that builds infrastructure which enables small businesses to get easy access to financial services via platforms they sell on. Parafin's first set of products offer capital-as-a-service for online platforms. Parafin currently powers the capital programs for platforms and payment processors ranging from Series B to post-IPO companies such as DoorDash, Amazon, Worldpay, Mindbody, Fullsteam, Guesty, Xplor, and Quilt.

    We are a tight-knit team coming from organizations such as Stripe, Square, Plaid, Coinbase, Robinhood, Affirm, Uber, and CERN, and are excited both about helping small businesses grow and thrive, and build products that leaders at top companies have started to use every day to grow their platforms. We are backed by prominent venture capitalists such as Ribbit Capital, Thrive Capital, GIC, Index Ventures, Green Oaks Capital, and SV Angel and have raised more than $94M in equity and $200M in debt.

    About the Position:

    We are looking for a Strategic Finance Lead, reporting to the Head of Strategic Finance and Risk to help drive our decision making and strategic direction at Parafin. If you are a self-starter who enjoys solving complex, multi-sided problems, come join us

    • Support investor relations activities, including ongoing engagement and facilitating new investor diligence

    • Collaborate with our data science team to develop company and product-level KPIs
    • Distill complex analysis and financial results into easily digestible reporting for Parafin's Board of Directors and leadership team
    • Working closely with our Accounting and Engineering teams to build and improve our financial reporting and team operations

    What We're Searching For:

    • Best in-class modeling skills with a strong analytical mindset
    • Ability to distill complex analysis and financial information into digestible insights for non-finance audiences
    • You care deeply about the quality and correctness of your work
    • You take initiative and can own and drive large projects independently
    • You are comfortable with ambiguity and managing competing priorities
    • You are excited about working on a small team and setting the foundations for the finance team at Parafin
    • Excited by our mission and the challenge of working in a dynamic start-up environment

    We Prefer If You Have:

    • 5+ years of work experience across buy-side investing, investment banking, consulting, or corporate finance (e.g., strategic finance, corporate development)
    • Technology, Business Services, or FIG experience, with a preference for direct fintech exposure
    • Experience working in a high-growth organization on a scaling team
