About the Role

We are looking for a strategic and operationally-minded professional to join our Finance & Strategy CoE as Analyst. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role designed for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex business problems, and can seamlessly navigate between strategic thinking and tactical execution.

You will serve as a critical bridge between Finance & Strategy, Data Science, Strategy & Operations, Product, and Go-to-Market teams, managing executive-level requests, driving cross-functional initiatives, and continuously improving processes through automation and optimization. 

Key Responsibilities

Reporting, Metrics & Analytics:

• Partner with cross functional teams, such as Data Science, to develop reporting dashboards, define metrics and leading indicators of business performance

• Translate business questions into analytical frameworks to generate insights into business performance and operational efficiency.

 

Process Optimization & Automation: 

• Identify recurring work patterns and convert ad-hoc requests into structured, automated processes. 
• Manage data workflows, streamline reporting processes, and leverage tools for efficiency gains.

Stakeholder Partnership & Influence: 

• Build strong collaborative working relationships with senior leaders across Finance & Strategy, Data Science, Strategy & Operations, Product and GTM.
• Navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, working tactfully to align competing priorities and drive consensus — often influencing without direct authority.
