• Support quarterly and annual planning cycles: bottoms-up revenue forecasts, headcount modeling, and budget development in close partnership with GTM leadership
• Own budget vs. actual analysis and business commentary for your GTM segment - explain what happened, why it happened, and what we should do about it
• Conduct analysis on key GTM financial drivers - pipeline coverage, rep capacity / productivity, churn, PS delivery efficiency, and distill findings into clear, actionable narratives
• Collaborate with RevOps, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure data integrity and alignment between operational metrics and financial results. Maintain critical reporting infrastructure (e.g. Snowflake ARR reporting model)
• Draft memos and slides that communicate complex findings simply - for audiences ranging from your direct manager to the CFO

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - write clearly, present confidently, and make complex points simple to understand
• Intellectual curiosity and a bias toward structure: you see a messy problem and want to organize it, not avoid it
• Willingness to ask questions, take feedback, and iterate quickly
• High ownership mentality - you follow through, you flag issues early, and you don't wait to be told what to do next
• Actively uses AI tools to simplify and accelerate your work - you're curious about what's possible and look for ways to do more with less
