Partner with GTM leaders to set targets, evaluate growth initiatives, shape pricing, and design sales compensation
Help prepare board materials, investor updates, and fundraising analyses
Improve financial reporting, dashboards, and operational rigor so our infrastructure scales as fast as our revenue
Work cross-functionally to turn ambiguous business questions into actionable insights
