  • Willingness to disrupt the status quo to create positive change and improve the impact of FP&A.

  • Exceptional financial modeling skills with an ability to create sustainable and reliable models to enable better understanding and decision making.

  • Critical thinking, problem solving and inquisitiveness coupled with a desire to continuously learn new skills.

  • Open to a Hybrid working environment - 3 days a week in the Boston office
