• Analyze

• Leverage data whenever possible to inform your hypothesis and convince cross functional partners.

• Influence

• Work cross-functionally with our Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Business Development teams to align on a path forward and bring these products to market

We're excited about you because…

• You have 4+ years of experience and have succeeded in high-growth teams (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related experience)

• You want to affect change every day and can operate in energizing environments

• You have a talent for driving high-level goals into measurable plans, and enjoy implementing processes at the lowest level of detail

• You love thinking about problems from a fundamentals approach, you translate strategic vision into measurable success metrics and applicable plans

• You seek exposure to different types of problems and want to try your hand at different sides of the business
