  • Act as a trusted advisor to engineering and product leadership, influencing business outcomes through strategic financial insights and partnership.
  • Ensure a high level of attention to detail and accuracy, as analysis will be regularly presented to C-level management.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience partnering with senior executives in R&D and Datacenter Operations organizations.
  • Public company experience.
  • Strong background in the SaaS or technology industries.
  • Superb analytical and quantitative skills, coupled with a strong executive presence.

  • Flawless attention to detail and a track record of producing high-quality work consistently, with C-level analysis and presentations.
  • Proven experience partnering with senior leadership across Finance and other cross-functional areas.
  • Strong influencing skills, with the ability to assert ideas constructively and work collaboratively within a team-centric culture.
