Translate product usage, customer behavior, funnel dynamics, and financial data into clear recommendations that influence both long-term strategy and day-to-day product decisions.
Build planning and performance systems that help the team move faster, including forecast methodology, KPI architecture, decision frameworks, executive narratives, and repeatable reporting.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years of experience in investment banking, consulting, strategic finance, product finance, growth finance, or buy-side investing, coupled with operating experience at a fast-paced, scaling technology company.
Experience supporting product teams on growth, pricing, packaging, monetization, or product strategy decisions, ideally in product-led growth, growth-stage SaaS, consumer/subscription products, or consumption-based business models.
Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills, including building product P&Ls, operating models, cohort and funnel analyses, pricing models, and unit economics that connect strategy to growth decisions.
Strong business judgment and product instincts, with the ability to evaluate opportunities, tradeoffs, and risks in a fast-moving product environment.
The ability to translate complex product, usage, customer, and financial data into clear recommendations for Product teams and senior leadership.
High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy, paired with comfort making decisions when data is imperfect and the business is evolving.
Familiarity with product-led growth, growth experimentation, pricing and packaging, consumption-based pricing, or usage-based business models, and curiosity about how AI products change those playbooks.
A hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves mentality and comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
Enthusiasm for AI deployment, OpenAI’s mission, and the opportunity to shape how businesses adopt frontier AI.
Experience with SQL and comfort working directly with product analytics datasets.
