Business Value Associate

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

As a Business Value Associate at Zip, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and go-to-market execution. You’ll partner directly with Fortune 100 CFOs and CPOs to quantify impact, design data-driven ROI models, and help sales teams close transformative enterprise deals. But this role goes far beyond building business cases:

• You’ll collaborate with private equity firms to shape their portfolio value creation strategies.

• You’ll support company-wide initiatives with reporting that flows directly to our CEO and CTO co-founders.

• You’ll influence pricing and packaging strategy, helping scale Zip’s GTM playbook.

• You’ll act as a thought partner to executives inside and outside Zip, ensuring our narrative resonates at the boardroom and C-suite level.
  

This is a role with C-suite visibility for someone who thrives on analytical rigor, structured problem-solving, and translating insights into clear executive-ready deliverables.

• Conduct quantitative analysis, ROI modeling, and benchmarking to define the measurable impact of Zip.

• Build and present C-suite level business cases to Fortune 100 CFOs, CPOs, and finance leaders.

• Partner with private equity firms to extend Zip’s value creation story across their portfolios.

• Support pricing and GTM strategy in collaboration with sales leadership and the CEO.

• Drive internal initiatives: build scalable business value frameworks, train sales teams on value-based selling, and codify best practices.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to our go-to-market, product, and executive leadership teams.
  

• 4-6+ years of relevant experience in management consulting (MBB or equivalent), business value, or strategic finance.

• Track record of CFO-level engagement, board-ready deliverables, and analytical problem solving.

• Strong grounding in data analytics, modeling, and structured communication.

• Knowledge of procurement, finance, or enterprise SaaS value drivers is a plus, but not required.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: self-driven, resourceful, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.

• Experience working with both mid-market and enterprise clients; exposure to PE/VC is a plus.

The salary range for this role is $150,000 - $175,000. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise.
