What they're looking for

  • Minimum 4-7 years of relevant experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, or business intelligence, prior experience at a high-growth technology or financial technology company a plus
  • Bachelor’s Degree, or equivalent degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Accounting or other relevant field
  • Demonstrated experience building driver-based forecasts (e.g., volume × rate, unit economics, cohort models) with a clear point of view on how you validate drivers and diagnose forecast vs. actual variance
  • Expertise in Excel / Google Sheets — you can build scalable, efficient, and auditable models with clear assumptions, and you have opinions about how a model should be structured
