The Opportunity

We're building a best-in-class Finance Business Partner organization, and this is a rare opportunity to be a founding member of our team. Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, you'll serve as the dedicated finance partner to our Technology and Product leaders- becoming the trusted advisor who translates product roadmaps and technology investments into long-term financial models and strategic insights.

This isn't a traditional finance role where you simply track R&D spend. You'll be deeply embedded with Engineering and Product teams, speaking their language and understanding the technical architecture behind our multi-product portfolio. You'll build sophisticated multi-year financial views of product development, master the complexities of capitalized software costs and R&D tax credits, and help leaders make critical trade-off decisions on where to invest engineering capacity.

We're becoming an AI-first finance team. We're actively leveraging cutting-edge technology and forward-looking thinking to transform how we operate- automating repetitive work, building predictive models, and freeing up our time to focus on high-value strategic thinking. If you're excited about being at the forefront of how AI is reshaping modern finance, you'll thrive here.

If you've been looking for a role where you can combine your finance expertise with a genuine love of technology - where your not just tracking budgets but actively shaping product strategy through financial insights - this is it!
