Working closely with commercial, product, and compute finance teams, you will translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights. You will bring financial discipline to major investment decisions, including hiring, infrastructure, and strategic spending. This is a hands‑on opportunity to shape financial planning processes as the organization prepares for an IPO. You will join an ambitious, AI‑first, international environment where ownership, analytical excellence, and measurable impact are highly valued.

• Budgeting and forecasting
  
  
  
  • Lead the annual budgeting process and quarterly reforecasts from start to finish.
  
  
  • Manage headcount planning envelopes and general and administrative (G&A) forecasting in collaboration with budget owners.
  
  
  • Ensure assumptions are consistent, transparent, and aligned with business priorities.
  
  
  • Refine planning methodologies as the business scales and financial requirements evolve.
  
  
  
  


• Reporting and executive decision support
  
  
  
  • Establish a monthly reporting cadence covering financial results, budget‑versus‑actual analysis, and functional performance reviews.
  
  
  • Organize quarterly business reviews and prepare the financial sections of board reporting materials.
  
  
  • Translate financial and operational results into clear narratives, highlighting trends, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions.
  
  
  • Support the CFO, CEO, and board with reliable financial analysis and forward‑looking insights.
  
  
  
  


• Capital allocation and strategic finance
  
  
  
  • Introduce disciplined financial evaluation for major decisions involving hiring, compute infrastructure, and strategic expenditure.
  
  
  • Assess unit economics, gross profit, and investment returns to support commercial and operational priorities.
  
  
  • Ensure financial recommendations lead to practical decisions and measurable business outcomes.
  
  
  • Help strengthen the central FP&A function and prepare planning and guidance processes for the company's future as a public company.
