Senior Manager, FP&A
Kindred is a members-only home swapping platform that unlocks the ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle through the power of community. By exchanging primary residences with trusted peers, renters and owners alike can match with Kindred spirits and explore new destinations without breaking the bank.
Kindred is revolutionizing the “third option” of travel accommodation, compared to short-term rentals and hotels. Since launching in 2022, Kindred has grown to a global community of 300,000 members across 150+ cities and puts home swapping on the map as a radically more affordable, responsible, and connected way to travel.
To support that momentum, Kindred has raised over $150M in capital from some of the most credible investors in Silicon Valley, including Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad Gil, and founders of companies like Opendoor, Figma, ClassPass, and more.
Kindred’s co-founders are proven leaders from the early team at Opendoor ($15B+ exit), who have each built and scaled products that today generate $1B+ annual revenue combined.
We’re looking for the world’s top builders, executors, and believers to help us make travel more meaningful.

The Role
At Kindred, our mission is to make a travel-rich lifestyle more accessible through the power of community. As Senior Manager, FP&A, you’ll play a critical role in bringing this mission to life by providing the financial clarity, rigor, and insight that support smart decision-making as we scale.
You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance to take ownership of the company’s core financial models, lead budgeting and forecasting, partner with Accounting through monthly close, and help build foundational FP&A processes that will be critical as we scale. This role sits at the intersection of traditional FP&A execution and strategic finance, requiring both strong fundamentals and the ability to operate in ambiguity.
