About the team Bridge is creating an entirely new payments platform, built with stablecoins, to simplify global money movement. Bridge enables faster, cheaper payments and borderless access to dollars via stablecoins.

This role will partner closely with Bridge, a small team of people experienced in building financial infrastructure at leading companies. What you'll do We are looking for a Strategic Finance Partner who combines the rigor of a trained financial analyst with the technical self-sufficiency to answer complex business questions independently. This is a high-ownership, high-exposure role. You will own business forecasting, pricing analytics, and cross-functional partnerships that drive how Bridge allocates capital, sets prices, and grows. This is an early and consequential moment to join the finance function. You will be among the first finance hires in the organization and will have broad exposure across Bridge and Stripe leadership. Responsibilities - Forecasting and Reporting Own full P&L reporting, forecasting, and budgeting, with an emphasis on revenue, unit economics, and the stablecoin payment flows that drive Bridge's business - Pricing and Deal Modeling Lead pricing strategy across Bridge's product suite. Build models to evaluate pricing for enterprise deals, key accounts, and new product initiatives. Translate complex stablecoin transaction economics into pricing decisions that are both competitive and financially sound - Strategic Financial Analysis Partner with business leaders across Bridge to analyze the financial impact of strategic initiatives, understand their business questions, and deliver analytical frameworks that drive real decisions - Metrics and Analytics Partner with Bridge's data science team to define, build, and maintain the key business and operational metrics that measure Bridge's growth and efficiency. You own the financial lens on this work - Data and SQL Ownership Write and maintain complex SQL queries and views to support P&L reporting, forecasting, and ad-hoc financial analysis.

Evolve the finance partnership and reporting structure as Bridge and Stripe develop joint product initiatives Who you are We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. Minimum requirements - 7+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, consulting, or analytical business operations, with a Bachelor's degree in a related field. We care about the rigor of your training, not the specific industry. - Strong financial modeling fundamentals — you build 3-statement models, unit economics frameworks, and cohort analyses from a blank spreadsheet and understand the assumptions behind the numbers, not just the formulas. - Genuine SQL proficiency — you write your own queries when the dashboard doesn't have what you need, with experience building data tables in Databricks or similar environments as a strong plus - A demonstrated track record of cross-functional partnership with non-finance leaders — understanding the actual problems they're trying to solve and building something that improves their decision-making —
