The role requires hands-on ownership of forecasts, models, and analysis, while also setting the rhythm for planning, reporting, and executive deliverables.

We need someone technical, detail-oriented and ready to evaluate and accelerate the financial engine behind how we operate. If you think like an investor, act like an owner, and want your work to directly influence the company's next move this is your seat at the table.

  • Proven ability to improve forecasting accuracy, reporting speed, or decision-usefulness through automation or data visualization.
  • Ability to design audit-proof models that are easy to follow, maintain, and scale.

  • $105,000 - $160,000 a year
