  • Support long-range planning and company forecasting, including analytical approaches to balance growth and profitability over time.
  • Improve, automate, and scale our reporting and planning processes in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.

As a Finance & Strategy Associate, you will collaborate day to day with partners in strategy & operations, product, analytics, and finance, and drive financial insights that inform our operational decisions and strategies. This role reports to a Director in our Finance & Strategy organization.

We’re excited about you because…

  • 2-3 years of strategic finance, corporate finance, or investment banking experience in a high-growth technology sector.
  • 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, and to size opportunities and build business cases for pursuing new initiatives.
