Finance Operator, Data

About the role

The Finance Operator, Data builds the financial data infrastructure that all of our companies depend on. This is not a data engineering role, or a dashboard builder who hands outputs to other people. This is not a narrow technical role with a well-defined backlog. You are a finance person first, someone who understands how businesses work, can read a P&L, and knows whether a number is right or wrong. Your differentiator is that you are technically capable in ways most finance people are not.

Responsibilities

• Build the data infrastructure all companies depend on
• Build dashboards, models, automated reports, and data checks that are replicated across every company we launch
• Combine your data expertise with your financial and accounting acumen to automate workflows like revenue recognition, cohort analysis, and reconciliations
• Create automated financial alerts that catch problems early and surface them automatically to minimize manual financial review
• Grow into communicating what you build
• Handle the full financial surface area for any given company, including valuations, tax considerations, SPV distributions, inter-company billing, and funding proposals
• Be a finance person first, able to read a P&L, understand unit economics, and explain what a number means in business terms
• Work in a multi-company environment, holding financial context across multiple businesses simultaneously
• Build systems rather than just doing the work, leaving functions better than when you found them

Qualifications

• 3-6 years of FP&A, financial analysis, or a finance-adjacent analytical role
• Can read a P&L, understand unit economics, and explain what a number means in business terms
• Use SQL to answer financial questions, not just pull data
• Have built something from messy, real-world financial data, not a clean dataset
• Understand revenue recognition across at least one business model well enough to defend it to an auditor
• Know the difference between a technically correct output and a financially correct one
• Have built a cohort model from raw data
• Have worked in a multi-entity environment
• Have experience with Aleph, Looker, Metabase, or a comparable FP&A or BI platform at the build level
• Have automated a reporting process that used to require manual work, and can explain exactly what you built
• Have enough accounting literacy to spot a miscoded transaction and know the correct treatment

What You’ll Bring

• Enough accounting literacy to spot a miscoded transaction and know the correct treatment
• Experience with Aleph, Looker, Metabase, or a comparable FP&A or BI platform at the build level
• Experience with automated reporting processes
• Experience with SQL to answer financial questions
• Experience with revenue recognition across at least one business model
• Experience with multi-entity environments
• Experience with building cohort models from raw data
• Experience with building and explaining financial infrastructure
• Experience with handling the full financial surface area for a growing portfolio
• Experience with building systems rather than just doing the work

What You Won’t Bring

• A finance person who thinks of themselves as a data analyst who happens to work in finance
• A finance person who needs a fully scoped backlog before prioritizing their own work
• A finance person who reaches for percentage-growth assumptions when they need a forecast
• A finance person who wants to stay in the data layer permanently and have no interest in using it to provide insights
• A finance person who is looking for a mature, fully systematized finance function to step into
