- Own self-serve unit economics and provide perspective on key levers, pricing, packaging, churn reduction, and growth investments.

- Operate effectively in environments where ownership is distributed.
- Know how to build relationships and drive alignment across product, marketing, engineering, and finance.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building something from scratch, new processes, new analyses, new ways of looking at the business.
- Strong communicator who can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for both finance leadership and cross-functional business partners.
- Good judgment and a bias toward surfacing issues and opportunities proactively, not waiting to be asked.
- Use AI in your work today — not occasionally, but as part of how you operate at a high level.
