Job description

This role builds and runs the financial model, the yearly budget and the monthly forecast for a fast growing consumer company, then turns the results into clear stories for executives and investors. It also asks for business cases on new products and vendors, with unit economics like customer cost, payback and retention. A strong candidate has four or more years split between investment banking, corporate development or private equity and strategic finance at a high growth company, with sharp modeling and writing.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can speed up the heavy lifting in this work, such as pulling data together, drafting first versions of variance notes, running research and automating repeat reporting steps. The posting asks for hands on comfort with these tools. Judgment stays human: choosing which question matters, deciding where capital should go, owning the numbers in front of a board and standing up to outside diligence.

How it builds AI experience

The company uses AI to shop car insurance across 100+ insurers, so this role would give a close view of how an AI product is judged on cost to win a customer, retention and margin as it expands into new lines. To build experience first, practice using AI tools to check models, summarize results and automate a monthly reporting routine, and be ready to explain where the output needed human correction.

Worth showing

• Driver based operating models
• Unit economics and cohort retention
• Variance analysis and forecasting
• Executive and investor narrative writing
• AI tools for finance workflows
