What we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

• 5+ years in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or equity research. SaaS or technology experience is strongly preferred.
• A track record of owning modeling and forecasting end to end with minimal oversight.
• Advanced financial modeling skills, plus experience with planning software (e.g., Abacum, Adaptive Insights, Anaplan) and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
• Fluency with modern AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) and genuine excitement about how they can change the way finance works.
• Clear, conclusion-first communication, in writing and when presenting to executives and the board.
• A self-directed, scrappy, resilient approach. You move quickly, pivot when priorities shift, and find the gaps before anyone points them out.
• High integrity and a strong sense of urgency and results orientation.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.

What we offer:

• The chance to work with a passionate team on solving one of the largest challenges globally
