Company Description
The client is a Toronto-based consumer startup turning collecting into play: users rip packs of real trading cards (TCG and sports) from anywhere and earn rewards along the way. It is built by the team behind a sports prediction app with millions of users. Backed by Union Square Ventures, KB Partners and Kevin Durant's 35 Ventures, it has raised roughly $15M to date and has crossed eight figures in GMV.

What You'll Do

Own forecasting, cash flow and financing options, and help tell a sharp story when the company raises.

Make the inventory bets, model unit economics and make sure operations scale ahead of demand.

Spot tax, legal and regulatory risks early, including the ones nobody has thought of yet.

Build the case for current markets, categories and partnerships, then negotiate the terms and chase the timeline until it lands.

Help leadership work out who the team is missing, how to find them and how to keep everyone shipping.

Who You Are

4-8 years in strategy, BizOps or finance, ideally consulting,



banking or PE followed by a high-growth consumer, e-commerce or marketplace company.

Exceptional drive and agency: you see what needs doing and do it without waiting for a brief or a perfect dataset.

AI-native: you use AI tools daily to research, model, analyze and automate.

Fluent in the numbers: you can build a forecast, unit economics and a cash-flow model without a template.

Experience with physical goods, inventory or logistics, or the appetite to get your hands dirty in them.

Real deal-negotiation experience, and the willingness to bring the counter-argument to leadership.

Excellent written communication, and some interest in TCGs, sports cards or collectibles.

Why Join

A seat at the leadership table of a high-velocity startup with real revenue and real users, reporting directly to the CEO.

Unusually broad scope that quickly shows you which parts of the business you want to lead long-term.

A shot at defining the platform for gamified collectibles and sports commerce, with competitive compensation and equity.
