In this role, you can expect to

• Partner with Finance, Marketing, and Product leadership to support growth strategy discussions, define success metrics, and measure the impact of growth initiatives across the user lifecycle
• Develop, deliver, and maintain clear, insightful reporting that helps business leaders track progress vs expectations
• Support and continuously improve forecasting processes, systems, and tooling to better reflect growth dynamics, streamline operations, and enhance scalability and automation
• Lead cohort-based analyses and deep dives by extracting, visualizing, and synthesizing data to identify performance trends, key drivers, and areas of opportunity across acquisition and engagement
• Contribute to earnings preparation and executive narratives related to user growth, translating complex analyses into clear insights and externally facing performance stories
• Leverage automation and emerging AI capabilities to enhance reporting, streamline workflows, and improve scalability

To thrive in this role, you have

• 6+ years of relevant experience in Strategic Finance, investment banking, private equity, consulting, venture capital or a related field, ideally within a high-growth technology environment
• Exceptional skills with building scalable, efficient, and intuitive financial models; prior experience with Looker and SQL a plus
• Demonstrated prior experience with cohort data and ROI analysis; familiarity with marketing ecosystem, acquisition channels, and channel KPIs a plus
• Excellent communication skills, capable of synthesizing complex findings into concise and actionable insights
