Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end financial planning process for a major domain (GTM, R&D, or G&A) — from brief to delivery — setting quality standards and accountability mechanisms that others follow
• Define the 6–12 month financial strategy for your domain, validating assumptions with business partners and translating strategy into financial outcomes and leading indicators

• Deep expertise across multiple planning domains (GTM, R&D, G&A); experience partnering with senior functional leaders on budget strategy and investment decisions
