Requirements

8+ years of experience in investment banking, consulting, strategic finance, product finance, growth finance, or buy-side investing, coupled with operating experience at a fast-paced, scaling technology company.
Experience supporting product teams on growth, pricing, packaging, monetization, or product strategy decisions, ideally in product-led growth, growth-stage SaaS, consumer/subscription products, or consumption-based business models.
