Requirements

What you’ll need

5–8 years of experience in business operations, finance operations, or FP&A — ideally at a company where you had to build the function, not just run it.
Strong financial modeling skills and comfort working in spreadsheets at the level of detail that supports leadership decisions.
The ability to translate financial data into clear narratives for leadership, investors, and cross-functional partners who don't live in the numbers the way you do.
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills — you build trust quickly with department leads, external partners, and teammates across functions, and you know how to drive accountability without authority.
A scrappy, high-ownership mindset. You see what needs to be done and do it. You bring your own structure to ambiguous problems, you don't wait for direction, and you'd rather ask forgiveness than permission.
A default to using AI to build solutions — you automate before you manually process, you build workflows before you add headcount, and you're always looking for the leveraged way to solve a problem.
A bias toward building systems and processes that scale, not just solving the problem in front of you.
Discretion and integrity in handling confidential financial and employee data.
