About the role

  • Drive "operating rigor" across the organization by aligning cross-functional priorities and ensuring clarity on milestones and KPIs tied to our long-term financial goals.
  • Act as a strategic partner to leadership, providing the structured communication and data-driven insights needed to chart new paths.
  • Define and set targets against operating KPIs, tracking performance, and communicating the drivers behind week-to-week variations.
  • Evaluate the competitive landscape to help define where we play, how we compete, and potential M&A opportunities to pursue.
  • Identify and size new growth opportunities during the planning process, translating bold strategic ideas into tangible, data-backed initiatives.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to solve high-impact, ambiguous problems that have complex dependencies across different parts of the business.
  • Prepare high-stakes materials for the Board of Directors and investors, distilling complex market dynamics into clear, actionable executive decks.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in management consulting, Strategic Finance, or a highly analytical role within a high-growth environment.
  • Proven ability to lead complex workstreams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Deep industry expertise in Tech, specifically within the SaaS or AI sectors, and a strong understanding of the unique dynamics and KPIs of these markets.
  • Advanced technical proficiency in SQL, Excel/Google Sheets, and Tableau (or similar analytical tools) to extract and manipulate data independently.
  • Exceptional analytical prowess and a "scrappy" mindset—you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves to build a model from scratch or hunt down the data you need.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with a demonstrated ability to bridge different perspectives and drive consensus among diverse groups.
  • Residency in the Chicago or Bay Area, or a willingness to be based out of these hubs to collaborate closely with the team.
Benefits
  • Comprehensive Health & Wellness: Top-tier benefits package that includes a fully-covered High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), complimentary access to telehealth services, and a free subscription to Calm.
  • Growth & Development: Access to LinkedIn Learning, professional development programs, and career growth opportunities in a fast-growing organization.
  • Generous Paid Time Off: Recharge and take the time you need to maintain work-life balance with open PTO.
  • Total Rewards: Generous 401(k) matching with immediate vesting, quarterly perks with commuter and lunch benefits for hub based employees or a stipend for remote workers, and a four-week paid sabbatical with bonus after five years.
  • Collaborative Culture: Work alongside brilliant, passionate colleagues in an environment that values innovation, teamwork, and mutual support.
