About the role
- Build and maintain financial models that support planning and decision-making across revenue forecasting, pricing, unit economics, and scenario analysis.
- Conduct market sizing, competitive research, and landscape analysis to help frame new strategic initiatives before they go into execution.
- Develop materials for leadership, board, and investor audiences - translating complex analysis into clear, concise narratives with a point of view.
- Partner cross-functionally with teams across Go-to-Market, Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Customer Experience to coordinate analytical inputs and support initiative planning.
- Manage complex, cross-functional projects to success: track workstreams, dependencies, and timelines on strategic projects to ensure alignment across teams before and during execution.
- Identify patterns in operational and revenue data and surface actionable insights - not just the "what" but the "so what."
- Support ad hoc analysis and research requests from the COO and CEO as strategic priorities evolve.
Requirements
- 2-3 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, or a high-growth startup in an analytical or strategy role.
- Excellent financial modeling skills - you're comfortable building a model from scratch, structuring assumptions clearly, and stress-testing outputs.
- Well-versed in Excel or Google Sheets; able to work with large datasets and build analysis that others can follow and update.
- Proficiency and curiosity in AI tooling.
- Experience building presentation decks that communicate a clear story — you know how to make a slide do work, not just hold information.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and move projects forward without direct authority — you're effective at influencing through clarity and credibility, not position.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can distill a nuanced analysis into a few crisp sentences for a senior audience.
- You enjoy data analysis and can find and deliver data-driven insights.
- Highly organized and self-directed - you manage your own priorities, flag blockers early, and are a self-starter.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity; this is a fast-moving environment where the scope of work evolves alongside the business.
