Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in finance, strategy, management consulting, investment banking, or a related field.
• Prior exposure to finance transformation, controls buildout, scaled reporting infrastructure, or complex cross-functional program management strongly preferred.

• Clear and confident communicator with the ability to distill complexity into executive-ready materials; polished written and verbal communication skills are essential for this role.
• High ownership mentality with a bias toward action - you anticipate problems before they escalate, drive clarity from ambiguity, and don't wait to be told what to do.
• Collaborative team player who builds trust quickly across functions and seniority levels, including working effectively with C-suite leaders and external advisors.
• Experience in a high-growth or pre-IPO environment is strongly preferred.
• Strong proficiency in Excel/Sheets and AI tools; familiarity with financial systems (e.g., NetSuite) a plus.
