About the role

- Respond to ad hoc data requests from Finance, Product, and GTM — quickly, accurately, and with clear documentation

- Support external reporting needs, including materials for investors, lenders, and board-level stakeholders
Requirements
- 4–7 years of experience in a data-heavy role (data analyst, analytics engineer, financial analyst with strong technical depth, etc.)

- Hands-on experience with modern AI tools and a genuine curiosity about how to apply them to financial workflows
