What they're looking for
- 3-5 years of experience, whether from investment banking, consulting, or in-house FP&A or strategic finance. Experience with consumption-based or usage-based business models is a meaningful plus
- Expert-level modeling ability, translating complex business drivers into clear, usable frameworks without hand-holding
- You've built something with AI, a model, a workflow, an automated analysis, and you're eager to do more of it. You see AI as core to how a modern finance function operates, not a novelty
- You identify problems before they're handed to you, and you thrive when the answer isn't obvious
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
- Comfortable being the only one in the room who does this. There's no existing Strategic Finance team to lean on yet, you're helping to build the first version of it
