Responsibilities include supporting executive and Board reporting, collaborating on sales compensation plans, and establishing trusted operational metrics such as customer acquisition cost, retention rates, and professional services profitability. The role requires partnering closely with leadership to guide commercial choices around investments, hiring, and pricing strategies while leveraging automation to reduce manual reporting efforts.

- Develop and monitor commercial and unit-economics metrics including customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, renewal coverage, and hardware margins.
- Collaborate with Revenue Operations and Sales on commission plan analysis and attainment tracking.
- Redesign inefficient workflows and test AI tools to accelerate reporting and financial analysis.
Requirements
- Possess 4 to 6 years of progressive professional experience in corporate finance, business partnering, or FP&A.

- Show a hands-on approach and curiosity toward utilizing automation and artificial intelligence tools in finance.

- Familiarity with planning tools such as Anaplan, Pigment, or Adaptive.
