• Strong working knowledge of AWS, GCP, or Azure pricing models and services, with a clear understanding of how infrastructure and architecture decisions impact COGS and margins;

• Highly detail-oriented with a track record of building accurate, scalable financial models and ensuring data integrity across complex datasets;

• Experience applying AI-driven insights and advanced analytics to streamline financial planning, reporting, and data analysis processes, improving efficiency and decision-making;

• A proven ability to "think big" regarding strategy while "diving deep" into the granular details of a dynamic, fast-paced environment;

• Superior interpersonal skills with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders, with a proven track record of partnering effectively with Sales teams.
