About the Team

The Finance & Strategy team accelerates the growth of our business by implementing new opportunities and solutions. We partner with teams across the company to improve the profitability, scalability, and defensibility of our business model. We're looking for people who can model the future, and collaborate to help carry projects from conception through execution.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Associate to join our Central Ops Finance & Strategy team. The Central Ops team serves as the operational and strategic hub of the broader F&S organization – driving quarterly planning and weekly business reviews, enabling fast decision-making, and supporting every corner of the business.  

In this high-impact role, you’ll build a strong foundational framework and deep understanding of the business, and partner across finance to guide financial decisions that shape our strategy. You’ll own and manage our TotalCo consolidated financial model, support weekly and monthly forecasting cadences, and play a key role in business performance management. You’ll also help build the frameworks, tools, and data pipelines that ensure accurate reporting and effective goal setting across the organization. 

The ideal candidate is nimble, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats – from analyzing drivers of business performance, to partnering on quarterly planning, to solving data and system challenges. This is a unique opportunity to touch every part of the P&L and gain exposure to senior leadership as a trusted thought partner.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Partner with teams across Finance to shape financial strategy, support executive decision-making, and influence company-wide forecasting and planning
• Build and scale financial processes that guide our weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating cadences
• Drive improvements in tooling and financial data integrity through collaboration with Data and Systems teams
• Own the Weekly Business Review process, surfacing insights to help leaders make operating decisions
• Collaborate with Accounting to ensure accurate and timely financial reporting

We're excited about you because you bring

• 1-3 years of strategic finance, corporate finance, or investment banking experience in a high-growth technology sector or well-established company
• Experience working on projects that require cross-functional collaboration and ability to influence partners at all levels within an organization
• Advanced Excel & financial modeling skills.  Able to build robust financial models used by teams throughout the company
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Basic SQL proficiency (or willingness to learn).  Ability to manipulate large data sets, uncover hidden insights in our data, and meaningfully improve our understanding of our business through this process

Applications for this position are accepted on an ongoing basis.
