  • Surface quantitative insights across the business to increase growth and efficiency
  • Support investor relations efforts, including board meeting preparation
  • Collaborate closely with our wolrd-class Revenue Operations, Data, and Accounting teams to ensure that we have the information we drive thoughtful and rapid decision-making

Requirements

  • Impact orientation: you’ve driven increased visibility, accountability, and alignment in ways that have deeply improved a business
  • Deep stakeholder empathy: you seek to understand your collaborators’ viewpoints and challenges
  • Ability to derive meaningful strategic insights from a variety of datasets: you love playing detective to drive change
  • Elite financial modeling: your models are accurate, easy to audit, and backed by a deep understanding of underlying business levers
  • SaaS veteran: you have a strong knowledge of SaaS metrics and know the strengths and weaknesses of payback period, LTV/CAC, burn multiple, and the like
  • You started your career in a top-tier investment banking, consulting, and private or public investing firm
  • You’ve already pivoted to and love high-growth startups and have potentially gone through an exit cycle
  • You have at least five years of full-time work experience and your trajectory so far reflects the high level of impact you’ve made
  • You’re deeply curious about businesses and how they grow
  • You’d be excited to work hands-on at first and begin to grow out your team in the next 3-6 months after start
  • You’re entrepreneurial and don’t wait for permission in order to make an impact

Nice to have

Bonus points if you’re comfortable using BI tools (we use Omni, but experience with Looker, Hex, or Sigma will serve you well also) or SQL to find and analyze information
