Responsibilities

Engagement Management: Act as the primary point of contact for VP+ stakeholders on "Special Projects." You will lead high-impact deep dives into complex topics like revenue leakage, product profitability, and margin optimization

Abstract Problem Solving: You are the person the business calls when they don't know where to start. You will structure the problem, identify the levers, and define the success criteria

Experimentation & Measurement: Lead the design and measurement of pilots and business experiments. You will define the statistical guardrails to ensure we are making data-validated decisions

Hands-on Investigation: You are the "Lead Detective" for Finance. When a KPI fluctuates, you run deep-dive discovery, identifying root causes across sales, product, usage, and financial data

KPI Architecture: Define, standardize, and govern the core metrics for the Finance organization. You will ensure "metric consistency" across the company, eliminating drift between different departments

Architectural Simplification: Act as the "Business Architect" in partnership with Technology teams. You will drive efforts to simplify complex finance data models into lean, high-performance structures that are easy to query and understand

Semantic Integrity: Own the logic layer. You will ensure that the transition from raw data (Salesforce/ERP) to the reporting layer is logically sound, well-documented, and reconciled to the penny

Executive Liaison: Serve as a consultant to VP+ leadership. You will facilitate strategic reviews, translate technical data constraints into business terms, and manage the "Data Roadmap" for the CFO

Executive Storytelling: Master of the PowerPoint narrative. You will synthesize complex analytical findings into crisp, high-impact decks that lead with the "So What" and end with a clear call to action

Transparency & Reporting: Ensure senior leadership has access to "Practical Dashboards"- views that prioritize clarity and strategic snapshots over technical density
