## About the role

Pilot is building a first-of-its-kind, hybrid software/service solution to tackle the financial back office (bookkeeping, tax, CFO, etc.) so founders and business owners can focus on building and running their businesses. We work with thousands of customers in the tech startup and SMB sectors, and we're growing quickly.

- Detail Orientation: A track record of getting the numbers right the first time
- Systems Thinking: Able to see how planning, allocation, forecasting, and billing connect, and to design solutions that account for the whole picture rather than one piece of it
- Project Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading the build or overhaul of an operational system, including the change management needed to get a team to adopt it
- Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work directly with senior leadership and translate technical or data-heavy work into clear recommendations
