- Be able to effectively communicate, educate, and coordinate required changes with impacted teams; be the “voice of Finance” and be able to assess from multiple perspectives
- Analytically solve problems, based on data, and be able to clearly convey the message with easy-to-understand narratives and presentations
- Nurture deep, trusted partnerships with Commercialization, GTM functions, Finance, Accounting, IT, Business Operations, and their respective technical teams
- Build and run an effective process to track and manage the budget(s) and measuring the outcomes for programs and changes launched by the GTM Commercialization team
- Develop repeatable reporting and analyses, driving actionable insights (such as customer cohort models, return-on-investment frameworks, funnel analysis, top-line and bottom-line metrics)
- Act as an internal financial consultant, being able to bridge and balance strategic and operational concerns
What we look for:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Finance, or equivalent quantitative field; MBA or graduate degree preferred
- 10+ years or equivalent tenure from related positions in FP&A, strategic finance, corporate finance, investment banking, or management consulting
- Experience working with and having an understanding of Consumption or SaaS revenue models, related revenue recognition and metrics desired, especially in high-growth environments
- Business Partnership: Experience using quantitative analysis to improve important decisions, especially across GTM organizations
- Proven manager with the ability to recruit, retain, and develop top talent
- Financial Modeling: Expert financial modeler with the ability to oversee as well as maintain complex spreadsheets. Expertise in Google Sheets is a plus.
- Data Analysis: Experience with understanding business questions and making data-driven insights. Excellent analytical skills. SQL & Python experience is a strong plus.
