About Faire

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we’re using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants.

About The Role

We’re looking for a high‑agency candidate to drive strategic and analytical projects that shape how we scale Faire’s portfolio of tools and programs for our retailers and brands. In this role, you’ll own mission‑critical initiatives end to end—from strategic planning and analysis to presenting recommendations to Faire’s leadership and partnering cross‑functionally with product, engineering, data science, sales, and marketing to execute. This role is central to Faire’s mission of empowering brands and retailers — by streamlining their workflows and maximizing the value they gain from our platform.

We Are Currently Hiring For

The Finance & Strategy team ensures we have access to it and are spending it effectively, but also wears several other hats at Faire including strategic growth planning, company‑wide performance management, and business analysis.

What You’ll Do

  • Identify opportunities, develop hypotheses and execute in‑depth analyses in service of product strategy and execution tied to customer loyalty
  • Own the forecasting, goal‑setting, and tracking of inputs that drive ROI and ultimately inform capital and resource allocation decisions
  • Lead strategic planning across one or more functional areas of company, partnering with a wide range of organization leaders to position the business for future success
  • Enable our organization to continue to be highly data‑driven as we scale by synthesizing insights, building financial models and developing KPIs for real‑time monitoring of performance
  • Qualifications

  • A Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of experience in strategic corporate finance, private equity / venture capital, investment banking and / or management consulting
  • You are analytical and data‑driven – you can define KPIs and measure progress / success for your initiatives
  • You can think across multiple dimensions of a business (sales, product, marketing etc.) and work cross‑functionally to deliver results
  • You are a team player that wants to win while also having fun with teammates along the way
  • You want to work in a fast‑paced environment with constant change
  • You are resourceful and not afraid to roll up your sleeves
  • Nice To Have

  • Knowledge of SQL
