  • Demonstrated ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy - making sound decisions on budget, forecasting, and investment analysis without constant oversight
  • Strong strategic thinking skills with the ability to develop long-term financial plans and assess risk across a large, multifaceted portfolio
  • Intellectually curious about emerging technology, with a willingness to develop fluency in AI cost structures and how they differ from traditional software spend
  • Proven ability to communicate complex financial topics clearly to non-financial stakeholders at the executive level
  • A self-starter who thrives in dynamic environments and takes ownership of workstreams end-to-end
  • Strong ethical foundation with a commitment to presenting unbiased, accurate information to all stakeholders
