About The Position

The Finance and Operations team focuses on some of Twenty’s most critical business problems with a high degree of visibility into the entire organization. The team is responsible for annual planning, resource allocation, performing financial analysis, and acting as a business partner with leaders across the company. This role requires someone who is highly analytical and strategic, a great communicator, a structured problem solver, and level-headed when faced with ambiguity. This role is ideal for a former banker, investor, or startup finance operator who wants to skip business school and jump into a high-velocity generalist seat from the ground floor. You are eager to stop spreading comps and start building a company. This role would require relocation to the Washington, DC area.
