- Manage and drive our workforce strategy, in collaboration with the People and Talent Teams
- Set the vision for our systems roadmap, drive cross-functional systems implementations at scale, and deliver process improvements
- Lead, manage, and scale the Corporate, Systems, G&A, and Long Term Planning teams. Provide feedback loops, career coaching, and remove blockers for team members
- Prepare and deliver management presentations for leadership to analyze results and forecasts, build narratives that describe business strategy and performance, assess business risk and operating health, and align cross functional teams to effective solutions
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 10+ years of relevant experience in investment banking, private equity, and/or Strategic Finance, Business Operations, or related fields
- Prior experience as a second line leader of a distributed, high performing team
- Experience leading cross-functional systems implementations
- Deep understanding of B2B SaaS businesses, metrics, and customer lifecycle
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills
- An ability to distill complex issues into structured frameworks and develop concrete action plans
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to simplify messaging while understanding the nuances
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
