E-commerce got real-time data infrastructure decades ago. Physical stores still have not. RADAR is changing that.
RADAR is building the data infrastructure layer for the physical world, starting with retail. Our hardware-enabled SaaS platform uses proprietary overhead sensors, software, and AI-powered analytics to locate every product in a store, continuously, down to the fixture. We are deployed across 1,400+ stores with retailers including American Eagle Outfitters and Old Navy, processing tens of billions of real-world events every day, delivering 99%+ accuracy in complex, noisy environments - at fleet scale.
RADAR is one of the best-funded companies in retail technology, backed by a recent Series B financing at a $1 billion valuation. Inventory accuracy is only the beginning. We believe RADAR can become foundational infrastructure for the physical economy, powering new AI-driven commerce experiences across retail and beyond.

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance and company strategy at a pivotal moment in RADAR's growth. As Senior Manager, Strategic Finance, you will work directly with the CFO and executive team on the company's most important and complex strategic questions — from how we price our product and enter new markets, to how we allocate capital and tell our story to investors.
This is a generalist role by design. You will move fluidly between projects, bringing analytical rigor, intellectual curiosity, and sound business judgment to a wide range of initiatives. One week you may be building a market sizing model for a new vertical; the next you may be developing a capital allocation framework or preparing materials for a fundraise. You will need to be comfortable with ambiguity, fast on your feet, and able to synthesize complex information into clear, actionable recommendations.
This role is designed to grow with you. High performers will develop deep expertise across strategic finance and operations, build visibility with senior leadership, and be well-positioned to take on broader responsibility as RADAR scales.
