Finance & Strategy Manager

Alabaster is one of the most exciting and fast-growing companies in faith-based publishing today. Founded in Los Angeles, we create beautiful and compelling Christian products — integrating thoughtful design, theological depth, and cultural relevance to help people engage with faith in meaningful ways.

The Finance & Strategy Manager is a high-leverage, strategic leadership role that turns finance from a reporting function into a decision-making engine. You’ll build a scalable financial operating system, partner cross-functionally to set and manage departmental targets, and ensure Alabaster runs on clarity, accountability, and sound financial discipline.

You’ll balance strategic FP&A leadership with hands-on execution, translating numbers into insights, aligning teams to goals, and ensuring our growth remains sustainable and mission-driven.
