As a remote co-located team, we're inspired by our values and anchored in hubs across the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, Germany, and Australia. We move fast, stay close to our users, and focus on the work that drives the most impact.

We’re looking for a hands-on Finance Systems Analyst to help us build the financial infrastructure behind one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the world. Our finance systems team owns the tools and workflows that keep Whatnot's financial operations running. You’ll partner closely with Accounting, FP&A, Procurement, Revenue, Tax, IT, and other teams to improve the way financial work gets done across Whatnot.
In this role, you’ll translate business needs into clear systems requirements, configure and improve finance applications, support integrations across our tool stack, and help automate manual processes as the company grows. You’ll be close to the details, but always tied to the outcome: faster financial operations, cleaner controls, better reporting, and systems that can scale with Whatnot’s pace.
Improve core finance workflows across order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report, planning, and close by gathering requirements, mapping current-state processes, identifying pain points, and shipping practical systems improvements.
Support configuration, testing, deployment, and ongoing administration of NetSuite and related finance tools by partnering with Finance, IT, Security, People, and external vendors.
Reduce manual work and operational risk by building automations, improving workflows, documenting processes, and helping teams move from ad hoc workarounds to scalable systems.
Help Finance leaders make better decisions by improving data quality, system reliability, reporting inputs, and the flow of information between finance applications and upstream or downstream systems.
Drive projects from problem definition through rollout by managing requirements, tradeoffs, testing, change management, stakeholder communication, and post-launch iteration.
Keep Whatnot moving fast while maintaining good systems hygiene, controls, and documentation where they matter most.
We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Seattle hub.
People who do well at Whatnot tend to be comfortable figuring things out as they go, biased toward action, and genuinely curious about what they’re building. They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it.
As our next Finance Systems Analyst, you should have 3+ years of experience working with business systems or finance systems in a fast-moving business, plus:
Strong understanding of finance and accounting processes such as procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, record-to-report, close, revenue, procurement, or FP&A.
Hands-on experience with NetSuite and Zip configuration, workflows, saved searches, roles, permissions, forms, and basic administration.
Experience gathering requirements from business stakeholders, translating them into systems solutions, and driving projects through testing and launch.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You can get into the details, understand why a process is breaking, and propose a path forward without waiting for a perfect playbook.
Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences. You can explain tradeoffs, risks, and implementation options in plain language.
Comfort working across multiple projects and priorities in a high-growth environment where the highest-impact work can change quickly.
A low-ego, team-first approach. You’re willing to do the unglamorous work when it helps the team move faster.
Curiosity about AI and automation, and a bias toward using modern tools to remove friction from daily work.
