Directly support the CFO in executing business strategies and optimizing financial reporting while facilitating collaboration across Finance and key stakeholders.
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
The Chief of Staff is charged with directly supporting the Chief Financial Officer as well as the Finance organization at large. They will serve as a thought partner to the CFO and Finance leadership on all matters—from how to operationalize and prioritize the Finance agenda, to financial and company strategy development and execution.
In this role, they will help turn strategy into execution through disciplined goal setting, development and optimization of business and financial reporting mechanisms, leading communications across the Finance leadership team, and supporting broader strategic communications across the company.
The Chief of Staff acts as the connective tissue across Finance and key cross-functional partners, helping the CFO anticipate challenges, surface insights, and “look around corners.” Success in this role requires strong judgment, executive presence, and the ability to quickly understand organizational dynamics and build the tools, forums, and operating mechanisms that strengthen and accelerate execution.
This role requires a strategic problem-solver who is an effective influencer with strong business and financial acumen. The individual must develop a deep understanding of Affirm’s business and financial model and rapidly demonstrate impact and value.
The ideal candidate brings a blend of strategy, finance, operations, and technology experience and thrives in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. This is a high-visibility role where executive presence, discretion, and clear communication are essential.
