  • Partner with go-to-market leadership to drive sales motions across all distribution channels, including global tiered consumer and enterprise channels
  • Provide strategic guidance and insight to drive end-to-end long-range planning, including assumptions, scenarios, pressure-testing, and executive storytelling

  • Synthesize complex analyses into clear narratives and confidently communicate recommendations to leadership and executive stakeholders
  • Advance financial reporting processes by leaning into AI tools and workflows and enhancing dashboards

Requirements

  • 6–9 years in strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or a comparable analytical role — with prior startup or high-growth tech experience strongly preferred
  • Advanced financial modeling skills to drive forecasting, scenario analysis, sensitivity tables, and the ability to build clean, auditable models from scratch with incomplete or complex data
  • Direct experience supporting full planning cycles including long range planning, annual planning, quarterly re-forecasts, and board / investor-facing materials
  • Familiarity with outcomes-based modeling and product-led growth
  • Fluency in SaaS and enterprise metrics to enable go-to-market motions
  • Strong written communication in order to provide clear narratives to leadership and external stakeholders
  • High ownership and high integrity, able to run processes end to end with agency and autonomy
