• Improve forecasting accuracy and strengthen financial discipline across the organization
• Help build scalable financial systems, processes and controls to support future growth

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership
• Serve as a key financial partner to the Founder & CEO and leadership team
• Build and lead a high-performing finance organization over time
• Drive accountability, execution discipline and cross-functional alignment across departments
• Support a fast-moving, collaborative and solution-oriented company culture
