Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third. The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:

  • Vinted Marketplace is Europe's leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories.
  • Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.
  • Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe.

As Strategic Finance Manager, you will be responsible for owning the detailed financial modelling behind Vinted's payments economics, building business cases for strategic growth, supporting commercial negotiations, and translating analysis into decision-ready executive narratives while partnering closely with multiple stakeholders.

Sitting at the intersection of finance & commercial, you will be exposed to negotiation, regulation, pricing and P&L within Vinted Pay, acting as the Commercial Director's finance right hand. You will be embedded directly alongside the Business & Commercial team where your agenda is set, and combine this work with constant interactions with the Payments FP&A team, where your work will directly shape key commercial decisions across the organization.

In this position, you'll:

  • Own the financial modelling behind Vinted's payments and commercial economics — vendor terms, PSP fees, card scheme costs and interchange.
  • Build the financial impact for business cases that decide where Vinted Pay goes next: new payment methods, provider consolidation, in-housing vs. outsourcing.
  • Support commercial negotiations.
  • Model the commercial and P&L implications of options available under our EMI licences — and which are available to us via partners.
  • Act as the Commercial Director's finance right hand: turn negotiation positions into numbers, and numbers into a clear narrative.
  • Translate analysis into decision-ready slides and stories for exec and board audiences.
  • Quantify impact before and after the fact — build the case, then track whether it landed.

Working with FP&A:

  • Build inside existing structures, templates and systems — not around them.
  • Feed assumptions and outcomes into budget, forecast and long-range planning cycles.
  • Share knowledge actively so models are understood, owned and maintained beyond one person.

Work perks include:

  • The opportunity to benefit from our share options programme.
  • 25 days of paid annual leave.
  • Newest MacBook models.
  • Digital mental and emotional health support and Employee Assistant Program (EAP).
  • Frequent team-building events.
  • Home office support: we provide IT workstation equipment and a personal budget of up to 540 for home workplace furniture.
  • Lunch benefit per working day.
  • Access to a discounted gym membership plan.
  • A personal monthly budget for shopping on Vinted.
  • Comprehensive Medical Insurance.
  • Group Life and Income Protection Insurance.
  • A matched pension scheme up to a set limit.
  • The opportunity to spend up to 90 days per year - 21 of which can be spent working outside of the EU - on workation.
  • Pension plan with the opportunity to choose your contribution percentage, and Vinted will match it up to a set limit.

Working at Vinted includes an Individual Learning Budget to support your personal and career development through courses, certifications, workshops and more.

We've adopted a hybrid workplace model where 2 days in the office are recommended but not enforced. It's up to you and your team to decide on the exact days you'll spend working together in person.

The Vinted Group is committed to building an inclusive workplace where people from all walks of life feel a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and life experiences. At Vinted, all applicants are treated fairly without regard to their race, age, religion or belief, sex, national origin, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
