You will be both a strategic business partner and a hands-on operator-equally comfortable building an operating model, reviewing the books with Accounting, evaluating a growth investment, and explaining what is changing in the business and why.
- The ideal candidate brings meaningful operating-finance leadership at a high-growth technology company. You are financially and technically sharp, deeply understand the business behind the numbers, and turn complex data into clear recommendations and better decisions.

- Experience supporting a business with significant revenue, operating complexity, and substantial multi-channel marketing investment
- Deep experience with budgeting, forecasting, operating models, scenario analysis, and long-range planning
- Strong command of financial statements and accounting principles, with the ability to reconcile operating analysis to the books
- Strong understanding of consumer subscription metrics, cohort analysis, unit economics, cash management, and resource allocation
- Experience partnering with Growth on channel performance, acquisition budgets, customer value, and investment returns
- Ability to understand the business deeply and translate product, growth, pricing, and cost dynamics into financial plans and operating recommendations
- Experience building FP&A processes, reporting, and team capabilities
- Highly hands-on and able to operate effectively in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to challenge assumptions constructively and influence business leaders
- AI-native in how you approach analysis, automation, reporting, and team productivity

- Investment banking, growth equity experience or other rigorous analytical training
