About the team and role
The Financial Planning & Strategy (FP&S) 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 partnerships, 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 Senior Manager, Strategic Finance- Go-to-Market, to be the lead finance partner for our Enterprise and Mid-Market sales businesses. You'll sit at the center of how we scale two distinct, high-performing sales motions, translating business performance into clear financial insights and driving the decisions that drive top-line growth. This role is highly visible, with regular collaboration with our executive team and the opportunity to shape strategy to increase market share.

- 8+ years of progressive experience, including 4+ years covering sales. Foundational experience in investment banking, private equity, or management consulting preferred. Experience with consumption-based business models is a meaningful plus.

- Demonstrated success driving sales strategy, planning, and performance management.
- You've built something with AI- a model, a workflow, an automated analysis. You're eager to do more of it. You see AI as a core part of how great finance teams will operate, not a novelty.
- Expert-level modeling ability, translating complex business drivers into clear frameworks.
- Strong executive presence. You communicate with clarity and conviction at all levels.
- Experience with Salesforce, BI tools (ie. Omni), SQL.
