About The Position

Love finance but want more than spreadsheets for one company? In this role, you'll bring your finance expertise into product and consulting — working across industries, digging into different business models, and delivering real solutions.

Limelight is transforming how finance teams plan, forecast, and report. Our modern FP&A platform automates clunky, spreadsheet-based processes and replaces them with dynamic, connected, and scalable financial models — so finance teams can stop wrangling formulas and start driving decisions.

About the Role:
You'll be the trusted advisor finance teams lean on. You'll lead implementations of Limelight's financial planning platform end to end, drawing on your background in finance, accounting, and technology to guide customers every step of the way. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, you'll get under the hood of their business models and design budgeting, forecasting, and reporting solutions built to scale.

This is a cross-functional role where it pays to wear many hats — you'll need sharp communication and a deep understanding of financial planning and analysis.
