- Build financial models, dashboards and management reporting covering revenue, cash burn and unit economics.

- Self-directed, able to find information and solve problems without playbooks or close management.
- Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco area, in the office at least three days a week.
- High urgency and a strong sense of ownership, comfortable with long hours and fast change.
Bonus points
- Experience moving into a tech or startup company after finance or consulting work.
