Director of Finance

ABOUT YOU:

We want you to stay curious, be accountable, and have empathy. We have a very very fast-moving environment and are always agile in executing innovative ideas, and at the same time, as a regulated financial services company, strong accountability and discipline are very much required.

We are a team of individuals coming from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We also work fully remotely primarily on Slack and Google Hangouts. These have benefits but also come with challenges. We want you to embrace the importance of over-communication and to stay empathetic to the fellow Alpaca members that you reach out to confirm that they hear you.

We want you to have top-tier management consulting, investment banking, and/or equity analyst experience. Like you, Alpaca’s leadership members, including myself, care very much for details of subtle number changes as well as logical and visual consistencies. This comes from both training and discipline, and we believe that it is a required skill set for you to have in order to maintain your high-quality work.

We want you to have experience in covering securities brokerages and/or wealth fintech companies at the firms mentioned above. Compared to nonfinancial services companies such as pure technology companies or SaaS, Alpaca has multiple additional both revenue and expense line items that only exist in financial services companies. We believe that it is critical that you come with the securities brokerages and/or wealth fintech companies coverage experience for you to be successful in this role quickly.
