</ul></div><h3><strong>ABOUT THE JOB</strong></h3>
<p>This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance and company strategy at a pivotal moment in RADAR's growth. As Senior Manager, Strategic Finance, you will work directly with the CFO and executive team on the company's most important and complex strategic questions — from how we price our product and enter new markets, to how we allocate capital and tell our story to investors.</p>
<p>This is a generalist role by design. You will move fluidly between projects, bringing analytical rigor, intellectual curiosity, and sound business judgment to a wide range of initiatives. One week you may be building a market sizing model for a new vertical; the next you may be developing a capital allocation framework or preparing materials for a fundraise. You will need to be comfortable with ambiguity, fast on your feet, and able to synthesize complex information into clear, actionable recommendations.</p>
<p>This role is designed to grow with you. High performers will develop deep expertise across strategic finance and operations, build visibility with senior leadership, and be well-positioned to take on broader responsibility as RADAR scales.</p>
<h4><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></h4>

<li>Build and refine unit economics frameworks — CAC, LTV, payback period, gross margin by customer segment — that inform go-to-market and product strategy.</li>
<li>Partner with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to stress-test pricing assumptions and identify opportunities to improve monetization.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>New Verticals &amp; Market Expansion</strong></p>
<ul>
