• Own, manage, and proactively drive complex and ambiguous projects, formulating hypotheses and utilizing data where needed to support your analysis.
• Enable the connection and translation of insights from topline to spend to determine what actions taken by the company equate to the highest order outcomes.
• Work cross‑functionally across various stakeholders to align on narrative/messaging to create high‑quality executive and Board‑facing presentations.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in strategy consulting and/or internal strategy & operations, ideally with a SaaS focus.
• Excellent analytical problem‑solving skills that not only uncover insights but also turn them into recommendations and action plans.
• Ability to work effectively across teams and functions dealing with various stakeholders and high levels of ambiguity.
• A motivated self‑starter that understands the needs of a rapidly‑changing environment to handle multiple projects at any given time.
• Understands the importance of “telling a story through numbers” that is easily digestible for senior leaders to enable decision making.
