Senior Manager, Finance

About the role

Opendoor is looking for a Senior Manager of Finance to serve as the primary business partner to Operations, Sales, and Pricing. Working closely with the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Business Officer, and Chief Investment Officer, you will translate weekly operating, sales, and pricing trends into capacity plans, staffing and spend decisions, and actions that improve conversion and margin.

You will develop a deep understanding of how Opendoor's Operations, Sales, and Pricing teams work, translate complex operating data into clear economic insights, and partner across these functions to improve business performance. This is a hands-on individual contributor role for a builder who can work directly with the data, create the models and automated workflows that decisions get made from, and bring a clear point of view to senior leaders.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain operating scorecards for Operations, Sales, and Pricing; surface the largest performance gaps, assign owners, and track corrective actions to completion
• Own the financial frameworks for the areas you support, including driver-based forecasts, unit economics, capacity planning and investment tradeoffs
• Translate expected home volume into market-level capacity plans for staffing and vendor spend; quantify productivity targets and the trigger points for adding or reducing capacity
• Write your own queries, audit the underlying data, and reconcile forecasts to actual results; investigate misses and data discrepancies until the underlying operating drivers are understood
• Automate weekly reporting, forecast refreshes, and variance analysis using AI-enabled workflows, reducing manual preparation time and making trusted results available on demand
• Produce the rolling forecast and monthly budget-versus-actual review for the areas you support; explain each material variance, update assumptions, and document the actions required
• Evaluate proposed changes across Operations, Sales, Pricing, Product, and Investment, and clearly quantify the expected financial impact
• Prepare and present decision recommendations for the COO, Chief Business Officer, and Chief Investment Officer on sales subsidies and incentives, resource allocation, and operating investments; quantify the expected cost, return, risks, and success measures, challenge assumptions with evidence, and drive action

What you'll need

• Experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, business analytics, or a related discipline, with meaningful ownership of complex operating models
• A track record as an embedded finance partner to operations, sales, or pricing teams
• Exceptional financial modeling and analytical skills, including driver-based forecasts, scenario models, unit economics, and performance management
• Strong business judgment and the ability to move from analysis to a clear recommendation
• A concrete example of an AI or automation workflow you shipped that replaced manual work and is used by others
• Comfort working directly with large datasets and modern data tools; strong SQL skills are preferred
• A willingness to code with AI support; prior Python experience is not required, but you should be eager to use AI to write, test, debug, and maintain SQL queries and Python code
• Experience supporting senior executives and influencing decisions in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment
• The ability to navigate ambiguity, form a point of view, and change that view when new evidence emerges
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain complex scenarios, risks, and recommendations with precision
• Low ego, high standards, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to stay hands-on at every level of the problem

Bonus points

• Working knowledge of Python, version control, agentic AI workflows, or tooling built on top of an LLM
• Experience building finance processes or decision systems in an evolving organization

What success looks like

• Leaders have clear, well-understood forecasts with transparent assumptions, key drivers, and risks; Operations, Sales, Pricing, and Finance use the same forecast to plan and make decisions.
• Reporting and recurring analysis are increasingly automated, with the team spending more time on serving insights and driving action. Leaders have a clear, trusted view of the financial and operating drivers behind performance
• Risks and performance gaps are flagged early, root causes are clear, and accountable teams are mobilized.
• Your work changes decisions and produces measurable improvements in contribution margin, capital efficiency, cash generation, or growth.
