• Break down complex business problems and conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis

• Build models, synthesize data, and develop materials to support executive-level decision-making

• Proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and take ownership

• Experience working on structured problem-solving engagements (e.g., strategy, operations, or transformation projects)

• Internship or early-career experience involving data analysis and business problem solving

• Experience in SaaS, fintech, or other technology-driven environments

You'll enjoy:

• A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work

• A culture that celebrates performance
