- Partner with GTM leaders to set targets, evaluate growth initiatives, shape pricing, and design sales compensation
- Help prepare board materials, investor updates, and fundraising analyses
- Improve financial reporting, dashboards, and operational rigor so our infrastructure scales as fast as our revenue
- Work cross-functionally to turn ambiguous business questions into actionable insights
