About the role

  • Strong financial and analytical fluency, comfortable building models in Excel, running scenario analyses, and reasoning from numbers under time pressure

  • High attention to detail and organization. You are the kind of person who makes sure the details no one else is tracking are handled
  • High ownership and a bias to action. You would rather unblock the team by fixing something yourself than wait for someone else to do it
