  • Hands-on experience using AI or LLMs to improve workflows, with the ability to script or automate repetitive tasks
  • Experience working with ERP systems, preferably Odoo
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial data into clear insights for non-finance stakeholders
  • Self-directed, comfortable owning projects end-to-end with minimal supervision
  • Exposure to SQL and/or BI tools (Power BI, Looker, or similar) is a plus


Nice to Have
  • Experience in a SaaS or subscription-based business
  • Strong process improvement mindset, with a natural inclination to identify inefficiencies and automate manual work
  • Experience in a lean, high-growth, or scale-up environment


What's great in the job?
  • Healthcare, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Flexible Spending Account, Health Savings Account, 401K Matching, and Commuter Benefits
