Job Description

About Us

Scotch is building the next-generation operating system for beverage alcohol retailers — combining POS, payments, back office, and e-commerce into a platform purpose-built for liquor stores.

We’re modernizing one of the oldest industries in the world: the $1.6T beverage alcohol market. Our platform helps retailers run more efficiently through streamlined payments, inventory management, reporting, and day-to-day operations.

Our founders came from Skupos (acquired 2023) and Drizly (acquired by Uber). We've raised $28M from VMG Partners, First Round, Lerer Hippeau, Watchfire, and Toba Capital, with angels including the founder of Drizly and early Toast executives. Forbes has recognized Scotch as a leader in liquor retail tech. We closed a $20M Series A in 2026 off 500%+ YoY growth and $1B+ in processed payment volume.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a seasoned finance professional to join us in the role of Senior Manager, Finance & Strategy. You'll drive the forecasting, budgeting, and reporting processes, and build
the data infrastructure and decision frameworks needed to deliver best-in-class financial insights. This role is for someone who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment and is ready to own strategic workstreams with significant ambiguity, visibility, and business impact.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Own the payments revenue and cost model at the driver level, including seasonality, processing volume, take rate, interchange, scheme and processor fees, residuals, and chargebacks
  • Build and own the finance data layer including models, definitions, and pipelines connecting systems into one planning-grade source of truth
  • Build cost visibility and control across hardware, suppliers, and capital partners
  • Evolve scenario planning past bear/base/bull so variable inputs flex independently and trace to P&L and cash impact, surfacing opportunities and risks before they land
  • Partner closely with business leaders, serving as their financial partner for the analysis and evaluation of strategic projects and capital allocation
  • Establish frameworks to measure the efficiency and ROI of investments across the business
  • Deliver analysis of financial results, quantitative and qualitative, ensuring variances to plan and business drivers are understood and highlighted
  • Use AI and automation tools to improve the speed, quality, and scalability of financial analysis

Qualifications & Skills

  • 5+ years in strategic finance or FP&A, 2+ inside a high-growth technology business
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills, able to establish strong cross-functional working relationships
  • Experience with payments or transaction-based revenue, including processing economics, fee structures, and take rates
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, comfort with large data sets, and experience building integrated models from scratch
  • Skilled in distilling complex analyses into structured outputs for a cross-functional audience
  • Self-starter mentality and strong sense of ownership and follow-through

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: The anticipated base salary range for this position is $165,000 - $185,000. Individual offers are based on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, and internal equity. 
  • Competitive equity package
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Unlimited flexible PTO

Why Scotch?

  • Own work that shapes the business. You’ll build the payments model and financial decision frameworks that guide where Scotch invests and grows.
  • Build the finance foundation. You’ll connect data across systems into a reliable source of truth and make forecasting and scenario planning more useful.
  • Work closely with leaders. You’ll partner across the company to turn complex financial questions into clear decisions with visible impact.

Scotch is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
