About Campus

Campus https://campus.edu/ is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed, but outcomes haven’t. Traditional college hasn’t kept up with the aspirations of today’s students—and they can’t afford to wait.

At Campus, we’ve built a two-year, accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton, Stanford, and Howard, in live, online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skills—ready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily-researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4289374-1&h=905796532&u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4174213-1%26h%3D410953500%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.fastcompany.com%252F91036638%252Fcampus-most-innovative-companies-2024%26a%3DMost%2BInnovative%2BCompanies%2Bof%2B2024&a=Most+Innovative+Companies+of+2024.

We’re backed by an exceptional investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education, including General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Bloomberg Beta, 8VC, Rethink Education, Sam Altman, Jason Citron, Shaquille O’Neal, and others.

The world has changed. Higher ed needs to catch up, and we’re leading the way - come join us!

About the team

On the Finance team, our goal is to build a strong financial foundation that enables Campus to scale its impact for students. We partner closely with leaders across the organization to translate strategy into numbers, provide clear visibility into performance, and support high-quality decision-making.

The team is composed of finance & accounting professionals across accounting, FP&A, and financial operations, working together to ensure our financial data is accurate, actionable, and investor-ready.

About the role

We are seeking a Finance Manager to help drive financial planning, forecasting, and analysis as Campus continues to scale. This role will be a key partner to Finance leadership and cross-functional teams, owning core FP&A processes and building the analytical foundation that supports strategic decisions, operational execution, and fundraising.

You will be responsible for developing and maintaining financial models, tracking performance against plans, analyzing unit economics and margins, and improving forecasting accuracy. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who enjoys building from scratch, digging into the details, and turning complex data into clear insights for leadership.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Own and continuously improve Campus’s financial models, including the operating model, headcount model, and cash flow forecast

• Support the annual budgeting process and ongoing forecasting, partnering closely with functional leaders to align financial plans with company goals

• Perform deep-dive analyses on key drivers such as enrollment, tuition, variable costs, gross margin, and student-facing investments

• Build scenario and sensitivity analyses to support strategic initiatives, OKRs, and fundraising conversations

• Track and explain budget vs. actual performance, identifying variance drivers and surfacing actionable insights for leadership

• Develop and maintain KPIs, dashboards, and executive-ready reporting for internal and external stakeholders

• Analyze unit economics and ROI for programs and roles (e.g., student success, admissions, benefits) to inform resourcing decisions

• Partner with Accounting to ensure alignment among actuals, forecasts, and reporting structures

• Improve FP&A processes, tools, and data quality, including automation and preparation for Enterprise Resource Planning system

• Support investor and board reporting by producing clear, consistent financial materials and responding to data requests

• Grow with Campus as we scale, with opportunities to expand scope and leadership over time

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 5–10 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or a combination of these roles

• You have built and owned complex financial models and forecasts, ideally in a high-growth or mission-driven organization

• You are highly fluent in Excel (and/or Google Sheets) and comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets

• You have strong business judgment and can connect financial analysis to real-world operational decisions

• You are detail-oriented but not detail-bound, deciphering between precision and speed

• You communicate clearly and can translate financial insights for non-finance leaders

• You are proactive, curious, and comfortable operating in ambiguity

• Experience with SaaS, marketplace, or education-related business models is a plus

• Experience supporting external and board reporting, and system implementation (e.g., NetSuite) is a plus

What you’ll get:

• A compensation package that includes a base salary ($100,000 - $150,000) + equity grant

• Actual compensation within the pay range will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, skills, prior relevant experience, and specific work location. For roles that are available to be filled remotely, base salary will be localized.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) match

• Fertility benefits via Carrot

• Flexible Time Away + paid holidays

• In-office lunches for our NY Office (did we mention, we’re dog friendly? 🐶)

• Hybrid work schedule (Mon & Fri remote; Tues-Thurs in-office)

• Social events - happy hours, birthday celebrations, holiday parties, & more!

• Opportunity to make an impact – you’ll be an integral player in bringing our vision to life
