Here at Zip, we're reimagining how modern businesses function in the age of AI. The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.
Our co-founders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly universal problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 5 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and JPMorgan Chase rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.
We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!
Zip is looking for a sharp, motivated finance professional to join our newly formed Corporate Finance team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong financial modeling foundation who wants to be close to the core of how a high-growth software company manages its finances — and who is excited to grow quickly in a fast-moving environment.
You'll work alongside the Director of Corporate Finance, with frequent exposure to senior leadership. You'll get your hands on the models and processes that drive Zip's planning, forecasting, and reporting — and over time, you'll take on increasing ownership and responsibility.

Respond to ad hoc requests from G&A leaders with timely analysis and clear recommendations
3-6 years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or a similar analytical finance role
Strong Excel and/or Google Sheets modeling skills — you're comfortable building a model from scratch and know how to keep it clean and auditable
Familiarity with SaaS business models and metrics (ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, Rule of 40) is highly preferred
Detail-oriented and highly organized — you take pride in accuracy and hold your work to a high standard
Clear communicator, both in writing and in conversation — you know how to tailor your message to your audience
Curious and proactive: you don't just answer the question asked — you dig into the 'why' and bring new insights to the table
Experience with financial planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights) and/or SQL is a plus
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous startup environment where priorities can shift and you need to move quickly
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field required
