About the role
- Contribute to strategic analyses, support project management, and collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders across finance, legal, product, GTM, and data

- Experience driving cross-functional projects or programs in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Ability to interpret data, identify patterns, and clearly communicate findings to inform decision-making
- High ownership, low ego, and willingness to work across both high-stakes strategic projects and detailed execution.
- A desire to work in an environment which values speed of iteration and individual autonomy, while also embracing personal accountability and the ability to collaborate effectively as part of a dynamic team.
