requirements into well-scoped, maintainable technical deliverables Comfortable working across both technical (engineering, data platform) and non-technical (Accounting, FP&A) stakeholders Experience with BI and data visualization tooling; ability to build Finance-facing dashboards and self-service products Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and enthusiasm for applying them to Finance workflows

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
