About Opendoor
At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started.
About the role
As Director of FP&A - Operations, you are the finance leader for the teams that help prepare every Opendoor home for sale to a new family. You partner directly with senior operators across Acquisition Operations, Home Sale Prep, and Resale, and you own the P&L, capacity, and unit economics they are accountable to.
This is a hands-on financial engineering role. You have a history in FP&A and the capacity and technical skill set to drive complex AI workflows and automation to deliver real time insights to decision makers.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the embedded finance partner to Operations leaders in their weekly reviews, planning cycles, and operating decisions
- Own the Operations P&L: forecasting, BvA, variance analysis, and the weekly narrative on cost-to-serve and unit economics
- Build and maintain the capacity, headcount, and operating expense models that scale Operations as volume grows
- Connect operational levers: clearance, DOM, cycle time, fall-through, renovation spend, and vendor cost to P&L outcomes that leaders can act on
- Build models in Google Sheets and Claude, and design AI-powered automation to compress reporting cycles, and free up time for judgment work
- Partner with Accounting on monthly close for Operations cost centers, ensuring data integrity and audit readiness
What You'll Need
- 10+ years of finance experience, with significant time as an embedded FP&A partner to an operations organization at a high-growth or tech-enabled company
- Deep expertise in driver-based modeling, capacity planning, and unit economics
- Strong SQL skills with experience working directly in a modern data warehouse (Snowflake preferred)
- AI-native mindset, with real examples of using LLMs and automation to improve finance workflows, not just curiosity, but actual shipped work
- Experience owning a full P&L: forecasting, BvA, variance analysis, and translating operational metrics into financial outcomes
- Excellent communication, sound judgment, and a direct, low-ego working style
Bonus Points
- Working knowledge of Python and version control (GitHub)
- Experience with Adaptive or similar planning software (Anaplan, Planful)
- Background in real estate, proptech, or marketplace businesses
- Experience scaling finance processes alongside a fast-growing operations org (you've built the models that didn't exist yet, not just maintained inherited ones)
Location
This role is based in one of our offices, in-person four days per week. We're looking for candidates who are enthusiastic about an in-office culture; people who want to build alongside their teammates, not from a distance.
