• Work cross-functionally with Data, Product, and Engineering to define data models powering executive insight and operational decisioning.
• Automate recurring finance workflows: investor reporting, covenant tracking, performance pacing, and financial close tasks.
• Create intelligent, automated reporting for financial and operational metrics—trading updates, forecast variance analysis, board KPIs, and more.
• Own the architecture for insight delivery—dashboards, semantic layers, and data pipelines underpinning financial and strategic reporting.
