  • An AI-native mindset and history of utilizing AI to improve workflows
  • Experience with forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, scenario modeling, and executive reporting
  • Ability to connect financial results to operational drivers and explain complex analysis clearly to non-finance stakeholders

  • Experience partnering with senior business leaders and constructively challenging assumptions when appropriate
  • Strong financial modeling skills and advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets. (Experience with HEX a plus as well)
  • Comfort working with large, imperfect datasets and reconciling information across multiple systems
  • Experience in a high-growth SaaS, technology, or subscription-based business
  • Familiarity with SaaS and GTM metrics, including ARR, retention, churn, bookings, pipeline, capacity, and productivity
