## About the role

This role exists to put a number on CoLab's value that is defensible and reliable when reviewed by executives, leaders, and users. You will turn messy customer reality into quantified business cases that move enterprise buying groups, reporting into the Director of Industry Strategy & Transformation with direct exposure to revenue management and account owners.

## What they're looking for

- Background in management consulting, finance, or a quantitative analyst role, ideally with exposure to mechanical engineering, manufacturing, or product development. You can read a design review and also read a P&L
- Strong financial and commercial acumen. You translate technical capability into business outcomes that resonate with VPs of Engineering, CEOs, and CFOs, and you can defend the math line by line
- Skilled storyteller. You turn a model into a narrative a room of executives feels, not just a spreadsheet they nod at. You know a strong deck is a forcing function, not a deliverable
- Clear, direct communicator. You write concisely, present without filler, and build a clean deck under pressure
- Sharp sense of time value. You know which work compounds, which is throwaway, and which conversation is worth a calendar hold versus a quick Slack. You make calls and you move
- Highly organized and detail-oriented. Your assumptions are sourced, your models are auditable, and you sweat the decimal that changes the story
