Requirements

8+ years of experience in product finance, strategic finance, strategy & operations, FP&A, management consulting, or a similar analytical role—with meaningful time spent at a technology or marketplace company
Demonstrated experience shaping how teams think about and act on performance data and defining the narrative around metrics, investment returns, and product impact
Track record of operating as a trusted strategic counterpart to product and/or engineering leaders, with the ability to influence decisions without direct authority

Excellent communication and storytelling: you regularly own standalone decks and present to senior leaders
Self-directed operator who thrives in ambiguity, independently identifies the highest-impact work, and drives workstreams to completion without waiting for direction
Experience as a dedicated finance or strategy partner to product and engineering teams, acting as their go-to strategic finance counterpart rather than a generalist supporting multiple departments
