Responsibilities

- The successful candidate will partner closely with Finance leadership, data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to transform forecasting from a largely manual process into a scalable, intelligent, and continuously improving product.
- This is an opportunity to shape not only what we build, but how we build it.
- Develop and maintain a prioritized roadmap that balances business impact, technical feasibility, operational efficiency, and user experience.
- Partner with Finance leadership to translate forecasting requirements into scalable product capabilities.
- Drive product discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, execution, testing, and release planning.
- Partner closely with engineering teams using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate product delivery while maintaining quality and governance.
- Rapidly prototype product ideas using AI coding tools where appropriate to validate concepts before committing engineering investment.
Requirements

Nice to have

- Familiarity with forecasting methodologies, financial planning processes, budgeting, or scenario modeling.
- Understanding of modern data platforms, cloud technologies, and analytics ecosystems.
- Experience leading products that combine structured data, statistical models, and business workflows.
- MBA, finance background, or equivalent business experience is a plus.
- Demonstrated ability to rapidly prototype ideas using AI rather than relying exclusively on traditional engineering cycles.
