Jobs from Grindr, Vail Resorts, Foxtrot + more!

Hi! I’m Haley. I’m an ex-Investment Banker and Startup gal who has been on the job hunt for a few months. I share interesting roles (and hopefully gain some karma for a new gig soon). I also write Hacks With Haley, a newsletter about saving money, and random thoughts that go through my mind.

While I mainly focus on Strategic Finance roles, I will also be sharing BizOps, CoS, and PM openings, as well as the occasional CFJ (Cool F***ing Job, h/t to The Commons)

Have feedback or a job you want to share? DM me on Twitter, LinkedIn, or email me to get in touch.

Without further adieu — let’s hunt!

CFJs of the Week

(1) My first harrowing rejection of the job search, still would love to work with you, Steve! I read your book!
(2) Eagle-eyed reader Bowen reports, “I did find it funny/ironic you put a disclaimer on MoonPay/NFTs but not on bartending @ Schwartz & Sandy's”. Touché, Bowen, touché. Job Hunting with Haley endorses neither MoonPay nor the actions of any worms with mustaches.
(3) All stock prices as of close on 6/22/2023.
