## About the Role

* The Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
 * Finance First: 3 to 5 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, strategic finance, or another highly analytical finance function.
 * Bilingual in finance and data: Fluent in accounting and FP&A to know what a number should be, and fluent enough in data and modern tooling to build the thing that produces it. This means advanced SQL and the ability to work directly with data warehouses to build reporting yourself, plus enough Python to automate recurring workflows so reporting runs reliably and on its own. You question, then you build. You do not just use.
 * Relentlessly curious: You are not satisfied reporting that a number moved; you want to know why it moved, and you surface the metrics leadership did not know to ask for.
 * Decision-minded: You frame the question leadership should be asking, design the scenarios, tell the story, and act as the human check on the AI before its output reaches the team.
 * AI as a force multiplier: You use AI to move faster on data work, drafting and debugging queries, automating routine reporting, and generating first-pass analysis, with the judgment to know where it falls short and needs a human check.
 * Planning for What's Next: Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and financial modeling.
 * Numbers into Narratives: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable business insights and recommendations.
 * Influence Through Insight: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to both finance and cross-functional stakeholders.
 * Builder's Mentality: A proactive, self-directed individual who enjoys creating new processes, driving automation, and thriving in environments with significant ownership and ambiguity.

Bonus Points If You Have

 * CPA or CFA designation (or working toward one).
 * Experience implementing or optimizing ERP or financial planning systems.
 * Experience at a high-growth AdTech company.

## Description

* Decision Support & Reporting: Develop on-demand reporting and analytical tools that provide real-time visibility into company performance. Produce board and executive reporting packages and forward-looking analyses that support strategic decision-making, including product mix and profitability.
 * Planning & Forecasting: Lead the annual budgeting process and maintain the company's three-year financial model. Partner closely with HR on headcount planning, compensation forecasting, and workforce modeling, while conducting scenario analyses to support strategic business decisions.
 * Cash Flow & Corporate Finance: Own weekly cash positioning, liquidity planning, and cash flow forecasting to support corporate finance activities and ensure proactive cash management.
