About Mecka AI

About the Role
As Manager, Strategic Finance & Deal Desk, you will build the deal desk that every commercial team runs its deals through, and own the models behind the prices we quote and the rates we pay. You will turn our cost data into pricing that holds as volumes grow, review every material deal before it is signed, and work with leadership on the business cases, unit economics, and capital allocation calls that decide where we invest next.
What You Will Do
Deal desk: Build and run one front door for pricing across our sales, partnerships, capture, and data acquisition teams, with a standard intake, approval thresholds, and an answer within an agreed turnaround. Give the commercial teams calculators and templates, built with AI tools where they help, so routine deals price themselves and the desk spends its time on complex ones.
Pricing: Set the pricing frameworks and guardrails for customer programs and supply deals, including volume tiers, exclusivity premiums, payment terms, and the floors our negotiators work within.
Cost model: Own cost per deliverable hour by channel, market, and product with our FP&A and operations teams, so every price we quote and every rate we pay starts from what the data costs us.
Deal structuring: Model the margin, cash, and risk of non-standard deals, work with legal on the terms, and recommend structures that protect margin and cash, such as prepayments, deposits, milestone payments, and minimum commitments.
Acquisitions: Set the valuation method and return targets for buying datasets and other data assets, model each purchase against the demand behind it, and keep one tracker of every deal from offer to close.
Deal performance: Track every signed deal against its model, report actual margin and cash by customer and partner, and feed what you learn back into pricing and the forecast.
Strategic finance: Partner with leadership on business cases for new products, markets, and partnerships, on capital allocation, and on the metrics we report to our board and investors.
What You Bring
Experience: 5 to 8+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, pricing or deal desk, investment banking, private equity, corporate development, or management consulting, including time at a high-growth marketplace or technology company.
Modeling: You build unit economics and deal models from scratch, and senior leaders have made decisions on them.
Commercial judgment: You have priced and structured complex commercial deals, and you can explain to a sales lead in plain numbers why a deal works or does not.
Analytics: Strong SQL and spreadsheet skills, and comfort pulling your own data from operational and financial systems.
AI fluency: You use AI tools in your day-to-day work to build models, analyze deals, and automate routine pricing work.
Agency: A high degree of initiative and comfort with ambiguity. You will set your own priorities and build processes where none exist yet.
Even better if you have
Industry: Strategic finance or pricing at a two-sided marketplace, delivery, gig, or AI data company, where both supply and demand are priced.
Enterprise contracts: Experience with large enterprise or multi-year agreements, including minimum commitments, prepayments, and usage-based pricing.
Acquisitions: Experience valuing and closing acquisitions of companies or assets.
Revenue recognition: Working knowledge of revenue recognition under ASC 606 for contracts with prepayments, milestones, and multiple deliverables.
Qualification: CPA, CFA, or MBA.
If you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply — we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.
We strive to create an inclusive work environment for all; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, we will partner with you to meet your needs.
We may use AI-assisted tools to help evaluate applications against the requirements of this role. These tools support our recruiting team in identifying qualified candidates but do not replace human judgment or limit which applications may be reviewed or considered.
Compensation Range: $140K - $155K

Strategic Finance Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a strategic finance manager in New York?
Most strategic finance managers in New York follow a path starting with a finance, accounting, or economics degree, followed by several years in FP&A, investment banking, or management consulting. New York does not require a state license for this role, but a CFA or CPA credential carries significant weight with employers here. The city's density of financial services firms means candidates who have worked inside a major bank, private equity firm, or large corporate finance function are particularly competitive.
Which companies hire strategic finance managers in New York?
Employers hiring strategic finance managers in New York right now include Oscar Health, BNY, and Ramp, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's concentration of financial services headquarters, media companies, and technology firms means the role appears across a wider range of industries here than in most other states.
Which New York cities have the most strategic finance manager jobs?
New York, Syracuse, and New York City have the most strategic finance manager openings in New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters of major banks, asset managers, and Fortune 500 corporate finance functions, while White Plains and other Westchester locations reflect the regional offices and holding companies that maintain New York-area finance teams outside Manhattan.
Are there remote strategic finance manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. Strategic finance is an analytical and advisory function that translates well to remote work, since the core output is modeling, reporting, and stakeholder communication rather than physical presence. About 93% of strategic finance manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026. Business partnering and FP&A roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles with heavy executive interaction often require at least a hybrid schedule.
How can I get hired as a strategic finance manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a financial analyst or FP&A analyst role at a large New York employer, with firms like Citigroup, American Express, and Pfizer running structured analyst programs that develop candidates for senior finance positions. Transitioning from a Big Four audit or advisory role into a corporate FP&A associate position is another well-worn route in the New York market. Earning a CFA Level I or completing an MBA at a New York-area school like Columbia, NYU Stern, or Fordham Gabelli strengthens candidacy for the first management-track finance role.
