6-10+ years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, management consulting, or a high-growth SaaS environment, with demonstrated progression of scope and ownership
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to and influencing senior executives
Track record of driving structured, well-reasoned analysis and decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, largely independently
Advanced financial modeling skills; you build complex models from first principles and know how to make them scalable
Fluency with sales/CPQ data, BI tools (Looker); comfortable working directly in the weeds to diagnose and resolve issues in complex and oftentimes messy data
