• Quantitative & systems-based by nature + obsessed with process improvement.
• Experience with Excel, Salesforce, or Rev Rec tools like SaaSOptics (or willingness to learn!) would be competitive differentiator.
• ~2-4 years of work experience in a finance/banking, strategy/consulting, analytics, or operational role (ideally in high-growth B2B SaaS setting) will make you especially successful for this position.
• Motivated self-starter with ownership mentality, a track record of success, and a proven ability to juggle multiple projects/tasks while hitting deadlines.
• Strong proficiency with Notion, Google Suite, etc. with comfortability learning emerging technologies.
