• Proven track record of driving business outcomes through data analytics and financial insights.
• You've built something with AI- a model, a workflow, an automated analysis. You're eager to do more of it. You see AI as a core part of how great finance teams will operate, not a novelty.
• Expert-level modeling ability, translating complex business drivers into clear frameworks.
• Experience with Adaptive, Claude, Lovable, Salesforce, BI tools (ie. Omni), SQL.
