• Experience within high-growth or venture-backed technology businesses is preferred, with an understanding of fast-paced startup environments.
• Strong commercial and analytical capability, including exposure to areas such as valuation, fundraising, unit economics or investment analysis, with the ability to translate complex data into clear insights.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently; must be comfortable working with some overlap during US Pacific Time business hours.
