Required

2-4+ years of top tier professional experience. You're coming to us from a Strategic Finance, Business Operations, FP&A, or other highly analytical role at a fast growing startup, and may have begun your career in investing, management consulting, and/or investment banking

High analytical horsepower paired with strong modeling and data skills. You can effortlessly translate business concepts to well structured spreadsheet models, and are excited to learn new analytical tools and generate insights through data

Attention to detail and strong strategic instincts. You are meticulous in ensuring your and others' output is precise and error-free, but pair this with a strong sense for 80/20 to know when things 'pass the smell test' and what is critical vs. secondary to an answer

A growth mindset and comfort with ambiguity. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment that will require you to create structure out of ambiguity, manage often competing priorities, and pivot quickly when circumstances change

Excellent communication and partnership skills. You can effectively engage with a diverse array of stakeholders ranging from sales reps to engineers, and build the credibility, relationships, and buy-in necessary to strike the delicate balance between partnering and constructive challenging that this role requires. Fantastic written and verbal communication skills are a must

A team player with a low 'ego to smarts ratio'. You bring a positive, learn-it-all (not know-it-all) energy to your teams, and are generally known for being great to work with
