- Experience partnering directly with founders, executive teams, or boards on strategic financial decision-making.
- Strong analytical and systems-thinking mindset with the ability to translate complex data into actionable business insights.
- Experience leading finance operations at a startup or being a senior strategic finance leader reporting directly to a CFO or CEO.
