Description

  • Act as an autonomous finance partner to R&D, Product, and Engineering leadership on infrastructure cost topics.

  • Partner with Accounting, Engineering, FP&A, and FinOps to ensure accurate COGS/OpEx classifications and cloud cost allocations.

  • Communicate complex financial and cloud cost analyses clearly to non-financial and engineering stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to work independently and thrive in highly ambiguous environments.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to translate technical variances for non-financial stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to simplify and automate financial and business processes, modeling, and reporting.
