About the team and role
The Strategic Finance team at Checkr sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and execution. We don't just report on the business, we shape it. We drive strategic decision-making through deep cross-functional partnership, financial and strategic analyses, and domain expertise. We proactively identify opportunities to fuel growth toward Checkr’s goals and deliver the highest impact outcomes.
We are looking for a Strategic Finance Sr. Manager, Revenue to own the financial story of Checkr's growth. You will lead a team of 5, build the consolidated revenue picture across our Sales, Self-Serve, and Channel motions and our Workforce, Mortgages, Consumer, and Trust lines of business, and partner directly with our CEO, CFO, and COO to turn that picture into decisions. This is a rare opportunity to shape how a scaling, category-defining company plans, forecasts, and tells its growth story — internally to product and go-to-market leadership, and externally to our Board of Directors and investors.
What you'll do
- Own consolidated revenue planning and reporting across our mature and new lines of business, serving as the definitive source of truth used internally by Product and GTM leadership and the C-suite, and externally with the Board of Directors and investors.
- Own strategic finance coverage for our Strategic customers, our top 10 customers.
- Build the next-generation StratFin function: architect AI-powered workflows, automated analyses, and intelligence systems that redefine what a strategic finance team can do, and establish this team as a model for the rest of Finance.
- Set strategy: define Checkr's existing and emerging revenue priorities, and quantitatively validate and drive investment toward the highest-ROI initiatives.
- Partner closely with the CEO, CFO, and COO, serving as their trusted right hand on revenue strategy, planning, and performance.
- Lead strategic and long-range planning: own the design and execution of annual, quarterly, and long-range planning processes, and evolve them toward public-company-grade rigor, scalability, and consistency.
- Own our rhythm of business reporting, delivering clarity and actionable insights across GTM and Product teams and C-suite leadership.
- Be accountable for our unit economics model, reporting, and insights. Leverage this to drive investment decisions and external investor relations. Own the budget planning processes for the COO and our go-to-market org.
- Own the revenue performance narrative externally, presenting results and outlook to the Board of Directors and investors.
- Stand up new initiatives from 0 to 1: when Checkr enters a new strategic area, build the initial financial frameworks and decision support, then scale the team and processes to match.
What you bring
- 8+ years of experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, with a track record of progressively greater scope and ownership.
- A demonstrated builder with AI: you've built something real with AI — a model, a workflow, an automated analysis — and see it as core to how great finance teams operate, not a novelty.
- Expert-level financial modeling and quantitative analysis, with the ability to translate complex, ambiguous business drivers into clear frameworks and decisions.
- Deep experience in high-growth environments, ideally with consumption- or transaction-based business models, and fluency in the unit economics that drive them, including revenue retention metrics like NRR and GRR.
- Outstanding executive presence: proven ability to synthesize complex financial information into clear, board- and C-suite-ready narratives, and to partner directly with and influence CEO-, CFO-, and COO-level stakeholders.
- A track record of bringing structure to ambiguity — you identify problems before they're handed to you and thrive when the answer isn't obvious.
- Technical fluency with tools like Adaptive, Salesforce, Omni (or similar BI tools), SQL, and modern AI tooling.
- Demonstrates Checkr's core values of Grit, Humility, Transparency, Connection, and Ownership.
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through change, and take ownership of outcomes
