About this role
Corporate/Opex Finance Manager
As Marqeta's Corporate/Opex Finance Manager, you will own a critical slice of the company's operating expense and headcount planning end-to-end — serving as the trusted finance partner to a functional leader while helping build the systems and rigor Corporate FP&A needs at public-company scale.
You'll take ownership of opex forecasting and management for your area — building the monthly forecast, understanding every driver of spend, and knowing the story behind the numbers well enough to defend them in any room. You'll own the relationship day-to-day, including the model itself and the reporting that keeps your business partner and FP&A leadership current — much of which you'll help build and improve as our systems mature — while working closely with your manager and the broader FP&A team when things get more complex.
You'll also be the primary finance point of contact for an executive-level functional leader — trusted enough to understand what they're trying to build and help them think through the trade-offs behind a hiring plan or a vendor contract. The best FP&A partners aren't gatekeepers; they're the person in the room who helps leaders find the path that gets them what they need within real constraints.
This role sits within Corporate FP&A and reports into the team's corporate and opex leadership. You'll partner closely with Accounting, People Ops, and the functional teams in your scope, and you'll routinely contribute to the materials that go in front of senior leadership — sometimes presenting them yourself. Automation is part of the job, not an aspiration: every recurring, manual piece of your workstream is something you're expected to notice and fix.
