- Deep expertise across multiple planning domains (GTM, R&D, G&A); experience partnering with senior functional leaders on budget strategy and investment decisions
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with BI tools, FP&A platforms, and ERP systems; comfortable specifying data needs and improving data quality upstream
- Excellent communication skills — can distill complex financial analysis into crisp narratives tailored to exec audiences
