In addition, you'd be a critical member of the team, identifying new opportunities, driving process improvements and providing decision support for leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical skills. You're an Excel expert with the ability to develop insightful and complex financial models and quantitative analysis, paired with critical thinking and sound business judgment.


• Entrepreneurial. You are a self-starter with a roll‑up‑the‑sleeves, action oriented mindset to have an impact in a fast‑paced, rapidly changing growth environment.


• Communication. You can distill and communicate complex topics broadly to board members, clients, front-line team members and everyone in between.


• Precision. You have sharp attention to detail with a natural feel for numbers and data, and have a high degree of accuracy in a fast‑paced, results‑oriented environment.


• Team skills. You have a positive attitude with a can‑do, service‑oriented mentality. You are collaborative, with an ability to prioritize, negotiate, and build successful working relationships with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.


• Passion. You are passionate about serving our students and an unrelenting drive to build an amazing business.


• Discipline. You have strong organizational and time management skills and ability to juggle multiple projects/tasks with multiple stakeholders while hitting deadlines on time sensitive projects.

Preferred Competencies

• Experience implementing and managing a cloud-based EPM like Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Drivetrain, etc. strongly preferred.


• Finance business partnership or previous FP&A experience.


• Comfortable and confident presenting to senior leadership and executives.
