• Track progress against goals, identify risks and interdependencies, and lead resolution planning with initiative owners
• Collaborate with teams across Finance, R&D, Sales, Marketing, RevOps, Customer Success, and People to embed insights and ensure alignment on strategic direction
• Conduct ad hoc research and structured problem solving to support enterprise-level decision making

What you will bring:

• Highly resourceful, adaptable, and capable of navigating ambiguity with minimal guidance
• Experience in financial analysis, investment decision-making, and data-informed strategy work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill complex issues into clear messages
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word; able to produce polished executive-ready deliverables
• Experience with primary and secondary research, including data synthesis, is a plus
• Demonstrated discretion, trustworthiness, and professionalism in handling confidential matters
