You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

  • Actionable Financial reporting – build corporate finance reports that support daily, weekly and monthly reporting cadences and review meetings that highlight key insights to facilitate decision making
  • End-to-end analysis and reporting for key strategic projects - constantly improve visibility into performance of Company and business lines, iterate on forecasts and understand variance to actuals
  • Sophisticated financial modeling - build models from scratch, refine existing models, and break down complex models into components
  • Forecasting & Budgeting - work with functional business leads to plan and measure how resources are deployed, both at the company and department level. Define and track OKRs to ensure resources are efficiently allocated and aligned to support broader business objectives
  • Build financial systems and process – support the building and implementation of financial systems and processes that help scale us from start-up to enterprise

  • Strong Finance acumen, ability and experience to think about financial outcomes and to ensure each dollar is spent wisely
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills - numbers are key, but a business is built with people. Cross-functional relationships and effective communication to non-financial audiences are critical to make an impact
  • Self-starter - you always look for ways to innovate and improve, and dont need to wait for people to tell you what to work on. You can’t help but ask what, why and how
  • Comfortable in a fast paced environment- you thrive in dynamic environments and are able to operate with limited information and guidance at times
  • Attention to detail meets high output - we need to do things quickly and we need to do them well
  • An outstanding communicator with relationship-building skills – your friends would call you authentic, energetic, persuasive, and self-aware. You know when to listen, as well as when to speak up.
