About the job
Responsibilities

- Connect dots across the company — surface insights spanning teams proactively.
- Build with a systems mindset — evaluate tools, data infrastructure, and processes for scalability, integration, and impact.
- Lead highest-stakes analytical work — unit economics, investment cases, new business models, and deep dives shaping company direction.
- Serve as strategic thought partner to SVP of Finance — pressure-test assumptions, flag second-order impacts, and bring rigor to business decisions.
Requirements

- Deep analytical rigor and experience running ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives from framing to decision.
- Think in systems, communicate complex analysis clearly, bias toward operational action.
