This is an opportunity to help shape where we invest, how we operate, and what we build next.
We’re looking for a curious, analytically strong finance professional who wants to work close to the business and see their recommendations put into action. You’ll partner directly with executive leaders to evaluate investments, understand performance drivers, and turn complex financial and operational data into clear decisions.
This role combines hands-on financial modeling, investment governance, and business partnership with the opportunity to modernize how finance works.

- Uncover opportunities to improve performance. Dig into headcount, operating expenses, and project spending to find what’s driving results. Surface emerging risks, identify opportunities, and work with business partners to turn recommendations into action.
- Bring a point of view to leadership. Translate complex financial and operational data into clear recommendations. Build analyses, dashboards, and presentations that focus executive discussions on the decisions that matter.
- Build better ways for finance to work. Move manual, Excel-heavy workflows into AI-enabled tools and purpose-built solutions. Take improvements from idea to implementation, making recurring analysis and reporting more accurate, efficient, and useful.
Minimum Qualifications:

- Advanced Excel skills and experience working with financial systems or large datasets.
- A practical understanding of how AI can improve financial analysis and workflows, with the initiative to test new approaches, validate outputs, and implement repeatable tools and processes that deliver measurable improvements.
- Initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to take an open-ended question through analysis, recommendation, and follow-through.
- A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related analytical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
