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
